Episode 77: Getting Back Into Your Body

<p>In this warm and revealing episode, I welcome my friend Chad Swiatecki, a journalist and writer I&#39;ve known for over a decade. What makes this conversation compelling is Chad&#39;s thoughtful introduction to mushroom medicine. Unlike many psychonauts with dramatic awakenings, Chad&#39;s journey started small: microdosing while moving intentionally and slowly toward understanding what these medicines can teach him about himself. </p><p>He found that getting back into your body doesn&#39;t require an apocalyptic vision, it just requires the willingness to feel more deeply, ask better questions about yourself, and listen to that quiet voice that says, &quot;I think I should be feeling a bit more than I am.&quot;</p><p>This is the conversation for people new to medicine who are unsure where to start, and for anyone who wants to understand what actually being in your body might feel like. </p><p><br></p><p>Chad&#39;s newsletter: <strong>The Sound of Our Town</strong> https://thesoundofourtown.beehiiv.com/</p><p><br></p><p>Listener discretion is advised: This podcast discusses sensitive topics related to psychedelic therapy, which may be sensitive or triggering for some listeners.  I encourage listeners to engage mindfully and take care of themselves throughout the conversation.</p><p><br></p><p><strong>Connect with Bijou</strong></p><p>IG:<a href="https://www.instagram.com/mushroommamasita"> ⁠@mushroommamasita⁠</a></p><p>Website:<a href="https://www.mushroommamasita.com/"> ⁠mushroommamasita.com</a></p>
