In this deeply insightful episode of Stuck In My Mind Podcast, host welcomes Kelsey Garrett, a 31-year veteran in transformational wellness and founder of Microdosing for Healing, a global community supporting over 1,400 people across 30 countries. Kelsey shares her personal journey—from a childhood desire to heal, shaped by the loss of her father and a traditional pre-med path—to a life-altering shift after hearing a voice that led her to California and into energy medicine, Reiki, and somatic work. She discusses how microdosing with psilocybin mushrooms transformed her own life, curing her seizure disorder and healing her nervous system without dependency. The conversation dives into the systemic disconnection people feel from themselves, each other, and nature, and how natural healing—through microdosing, body work, community, and intentional practices—offers a sustainable, non-pharmaceutical path to lasting transformation. Kelsey emphasizes that healing is not just mental but physical, spiritual, and energetic, and that true change happens gradually, through daily grounding practices and supportive communities. She also reflects on the power of individual agency, the rise of independent media, and the importance of building one’s own 'village' in a world increasingly disconnected by technology and corporate influence. Her story of launching a media company from scratch, despite no prior experience, becomes a powerful metaphor for the episode’s core message: transformation begins with the first small, courageous step.
Healing is not just mental—it’s physical, spiritual, energetic, and deeply connected to nature and embodiment.
Microdosing works as a 'non-specific amplifier' that reveals and enhances your existing inner state, not as a dependency but as a catalyst for lasting change.
True transformation is gradual and subtle; it accumulates over time through consistent, intentional practices like daily walks, meditation, or body work.
The future of wellness lies in decentralized, independent media and community-building, where individuals create their own 'algorithm' of truth and inspiration.
You don’t need permission to start—take the first step, even if you’re bad at it. Growth comes from doing, not dreaming.
