1 year ago I did mushrooms with my mom.

It changed my life.

I'm now a 6-figure LinkedIn Ghostwriter and this is how psychedelics helped me get there:

I’ve always had a tough relationship with my mum.

My earliest memory is of us fighting.

Growing up hating the person you’re meant to love the most is exhausting.

It limited my ability to grow into my true 'potential'.

Unhealed generational trauma will do that to you.

I was constantly sad, anxious and on edge - for no reason.

This started to manifest into other aspects of my life as I grew up.

- Limiting beliefs
- Emotional PTSD
- Toxic relationships

I had a decent childhood, so didn't get why I was sad all the time...

The good thing?

From this type of pain, comes deep awareness.

So, when I turned 22 I decided it needed to stop.

Read all the psychology books.
Watched all the Youtube videos.
Practiced all the mindfulness I could.

It helped.

But it wasn't enough...

Until I read "How to change your mind" by Michael Pollan.

It changed everything.

It blew my mind and opened doors to a journey of consciousness and awareness I needed to go on....

... and I took my mum with me.

Living in Mexico, finding them was no issue.

We spent 8 hours in this guided trip with shamans and healers.

It was fucking weird.

I expected some sort of ego death, but all I got was Alice in Wonderland.

7 hours in I was tripping out of my mind, laughing and crying at the same time.

The answers I went to seek weren't there.

Until the last hour.

One of the healers asked us some questions.

The answers revealed the true reason for our disconnect as a family.

It was powerful. It was healing. It was amazing.

The answers I’d been seeking for all my life were right in front of us for the first time.

A massive weight was lifted from both of our shoulders.

For the first time I felt peace.

The next few months after that experience catapulted me into a series of events that triggered my 'meteoric' growth journey.

I went full force on LinkedIn.
Got accepted into my Master's
Made my first $10K
Spoke at live events
Met cool internet people

Mushrooms unstuck me.

I went from numb, disconnected and living on cruise control...

to understanding that the life I desired was just one 'quantum jump' away.

I just had to believe it.

Today I've gone beyond any expectations I ever had for myself.

I never thought it all would've been triggered by healing myself and taking mushrooms.

If you've always carried the feeling of "impending doom" with you - it might be generational trauma you need to heal.
