My Honest Experience with Microdosing 🍄

I thought this would be a conversation about business… but we kept finding ourselves talking about trust instead.In this episode, I’m joined by bestselling author, kinesiologist, NLP practitioner and business alignment coach Cass Mendoza-Jones, whose work sits at the intersection of personal growth, energy alignment, and intuitive leadership.What unfolded was less about strategy and more about those seasons where life asks you to listen differently, when the logical next step stops feeling clear, but something quieter inside you keeps nudging anyway.Cass shares her journey from makeup artistry into energy work, coaching, and writing, and how becoming a single mother deepened her relationship with intuition in ways no plan ever could.We talk about surrender (and what that actually means beyond spiritual clichés), learning to hear your own voice beneath fear, and the shift from constantly trying to figure life out… to allowing it to unfold with you.If you’re in a season where certainty feels a little further away but your inner knowing keeps getting louder, this will serve you so deeply. Tune in as we share: Why intuition often gets louder when strategy stops workingThe non-linear path of building a life and business that actually fitsMoving beyond “not enough” and into self-trustThe difference between surrender and giving upWriting, tapping, and nervous system tools that support clarityLearning to hold uncertainty without abandoning yourselfFollowing expansion even when it doesn’t make logical sense✨ Subscribe to My Substack here: The Becoming ChroniclesEach month I’ll be hosting a ritual,workshop, ceremony (IDK what I’m calling it yet) for my paid subscribers - and next week is ALL ABOUT how we can together, usher in the identity that the fire horse energy is asking us to step into. It’s going to be SO FRICKEN GOOD.

There’s a subtle way we make life harder. And it looks like certainty.It looks like *thinking* we know exactly how something needs to unfold.It looks like gripping tightly to one version of the future.It looks like insisting that if it doesn’t happen this way, something has gone wrong.In this episode, I share what I’ve been calling my Pinhole Theory - the idea that when we narrow life down to one expected outcome, we collapse infinite possibility into a tiny, controlled opening.And we completely BLOCK the divine  (the Universe, God, Spirit whatever word you like) from supporting us and stepping in.And then we wonder why nothing new comes through. Why we feel blocked, stuck, creatively VOIDIt’s NOT about abandoning desire. Or passively waiting for something to happen or someone to save us. And it definitely isn’t about “just surrendering and hoping for the best.”It’s about DEEP inner safety.Attachment disguised as alignment.It’s about how hyper-control quietly shrinks the bigness of what’s currently trying to arrive for you.It’s the difference between pinhole consciousness and infinite field awareness.In this episode, I’m sharing: • Why rigid expectations create unnecessary suffering • How control is often a trauma strategy, not intuition and certainly not manifestation • What happens to our perception when we’re in fight-or-flight • Why some of my clients co-created faster results with less force • The relationship between regulation and creativity • The subtle way we block miracles by scripting them • And why widening the lens might be the real workI also share something personal.I’ve officially closed my coaching practice at EliseDanielle.com.Substack is now my primary home for everything that’s unfolding.If you resonate with this episode and you feel the shift into something more spacious, more honest, more integrated, I have a feeling the community I’m creating over there is exactly what you need.✨ Subscribe to My Substack here: The Becoming ChroniclesEach month I’ll be hosting a ritual,workshop, ceremony (IDK what I’m calling it yet) for my paid subscribers - and next weeks is ALL ABOUT how we can together, usher in the identity that the fire horse energy is asking us to step into. It’s going to be SO FRICKEN GOOD.

This episode has been brewing for almost 9 months. I know I’ve hinted at this a bit on social media, and I really wanted to wait until I’d spent some time fully immersed in this experience before sharing my journey with you… and it’s TIME!!Microdosing 🍄 has been one of the most subtle, profound, and surprising tools I’ve explored for my own growth, clarity, and nervous system regulation. It’s not magic. It’s not a quick fix. But it’s illuminated patterns I didn’t even know I was carrying and created space for shifts that have rippled across my life, my creativity, and my sense of self-trust and so much of laying the foundation for what I know is unfolding next.In this episode, I share:Why I decided to start microdosing, the curiosity, caution, and intentions I set for myselfWhat microdosing actually feels like in day-to-day life, and how subtle shifts can have big ripple effectsThe ways it’s helped me tune into my nervous system, observe subconscious patterns, and reconnect with presenceThe power and intelligence of these magical  🍄 and how they quite literally support us to soften the default mode network so that we can re-program our brain and deep unconscious patterns in real timeMy candid reflections on self-trust, embodiment, and integrating psychedelic experiences into a grounded lifeThis is my own personal experience of using this medicine. And whether or not that interests you I think you’ll get a lot out of this episode to see what’s possible when we follow our intuition and explore the things that drop into our field with curiosity, intention, and self-responsibility.If you’ve been curious about microdosing but hesitant to dive in, or just want to hear someone’s experience who was definitely skeptical, this is for you! Let’s Connect 🥰* IG: @elise_danielle_* Free:   Capacity Mediation* NEW Substack: The Becoming Chronicles (this is akin to my journal so consider yourself warned)

This is Part 2 of a series unpacking what 2025 initiated me into and the guiding principles I’m carrying forward into 2026.After a year that cracked me open in ways I didn’t expect… and MAN was it equally hard, beautiful and excruciating.. I wanted to practice one of my intentions and be uncomfortably honest with sharing what I’ve released, what I’m no longer available for  and what I’m choosing to devote myself to this year, instead.Not as goals.Not as resolutions.But as lived commitments that are reshaping how I relate to my work, my relationships, my creativity, and myself.This is an honest, unfiltered conversation about relational healing, intuition-first leadership, creativity as a spiritual practice, and the discomfort (and freedom) of radical honesty.If you’ve felt yourself shedding old identities, outgrowing patterns that once kept you safe, or sensing that you’re being asked to lead and live differently, this found you for a reason.In this episode, I share:Why 2025 became a year of relational clearing (wtf that even means) and how releasing old connections made space for deeper “soul family” relationshipsHow vulnerability and releasing my high-achiever identity transformed my marriage and sense of supportWhy creativity is a download, not a strategic effort and what returning to writing has unlocked for meThe call to write (and why I’m finally listening), including what’s unfolding through Substack and a memoir projectWhat intuition-first leadership actually looks like  and why I’m letting logic support rather than leadHow a lifelong people-pleasing pattern once fueled my success and why I’m no longer available for itWhat it means to hold your truth even when it creates discomfort or misunderstandingThe intentions I’m anchoring into for 2026 that go beyond productivity, performance, or pressureThis episode is an invitation to explore what it looks like to lead yourself in a totally new, un-charted path kinda way.  One rooted in devotion, honesty, and embodied truth rather than force.Let’s Connect 🥰* IG: @elise_danielle_* Free:   Capacity Mediation* NEW Substack: The Becoming Chronicles (this is akin to my journal so consider yourself warned)

Hiieee. I’m back…And honestly… I didn’t plan to be away this long.But something in me needed silence. Needed space. Needed nothing.Because if you’d asked me even a few weeks ago how I felt about 2025, I would have said I was more than ready to burn it to the ground.And look… that wasn’t totally wrong.But after a month of blank space, nature walks, long lazy beach days, and doing random little things simply because they felt good (a concept!)… my relationship to the year softened.Not because it was “easy” or “beautiful” -  it wasn’t.But because I can finally see what it actually did to me. What it cracked open. What it initiated me into. And what I’m absolutely not taking with me into 2026.This episode is a very vulnerable and off-the-cuff reflection on what last year really held behind the scenes.The shadow stuff. The identity stuff. The nervous system stuff.The “I don’t even recognise who tf I am any more” kinda stuff.And I’m sharing the first part of what I’m carrying into 2026… not in a goals/resolutions way- at ALL -  more like guiding lights. Like anchors. Like devotion.Because if there’s one thing I KNOW this year is asking from me it’s more unfiltered truth, so let’s buckle up and dive in.In part 1 of this 2 part episode series I’m sharing: ✨ Why 2025 felt like a full-blown identity death (and why I’m weirdly grateful now) ✨ What changed after a month of silence + space ✨ The difference between forcing your life vs letting life move through you ✨ Why I’m not doing goals / a word of the year / a 47-step vision board plan in 2026 ✨ The first thing I’m prioritising this year ✨ Why “capacity” is the real reason you receive more (or don’t) ✨ How to meet a new year differently,  without pressure, pretending or abandoning yourselfIf 2025 cracked you open too… if you’ve felt tender, disillusioned, confused, reborn… or like the old version of you just doesn’t fit anymore…I hope this is the medicine your soul needs today.Let’s Connect 🥰* IG: @elise_danielle_* Free:   Capacity Mediation* NEW Substack: The Becoming Chronicles (this is akin to my journal so consider yourself warned)

I’m back and finally re-emerging here after the retreat… and something in me is different.Not in a cute “I learned a few things” way... in a my entire field has rearranged itself kind of way.This episode is the most honest breakdown of what actually shifted for me, what this year has cracked open, and the truth about the direction my work (and life) are now moving toward.This isn’t a highlight reel.It’s a behind-the-scenes look at what happens when you stop forcing, stop hiding parts of your magic, and finally trust the version of you who’s been trying to come through all year.If you’ve been feeling a pivot, a pull, a sense that you can’t keep doing life the same way… you’re going to feel this one in your bones. In This Episode, I Share:✨ The real reason my work is evolving beyond “business coaching” and into the deeper, multidimensional space it was always meant to be ✨ How the retreat initiated me into a new way of leading - with less doing, less overgiving, and more energetic truth ✨ The moment I knew (without question) that I can hold this work at a much deeper level ✨ Why your frequency matters more than any strategy you’ve ever learned ✨ The unfiltered life update I’ve been integrating quietly behind the scenesAfter everything that’s shifted this year and everything I witnessed inside the retreat two things have become undeniably clear.. We need more spaces where you get to have LIVED experiences so you can embody new ways of BEING, not just be in more passive consumption and ‘learning’ mode.. We cannot carry the old year’s energy into the new one and expect our lives to change.Which is exactly why I’m hosting…✨ The 2025 Closing Ceremony Ritual ✨A 60-minute live energetic reset to help you: • Release what you’re done carrying and NO longer available for from 2025 • Come back into your body + truth • Clear your field for what’s actually trying to arrive • Start 2026 with intention, spaciousness, and an open channelThink of it as your opportunity to make sure you walk into 2026 with a clean + clear slate.A full body exhale for your multi-dimensional selfAnd at the very least..

This retreat has stretched me more than anything I’ve created before.In today’s episode, I’m vulnerably pulling back the curtain on what BECOMING really is - and how this entire year has been one big initiation into my own becoming.The TRUTH is: This wasn’t something my logical or strategic business brain wanted to create, I had SO much resistance to it.. It’s something I knew I was being called to lead - even when it didn’t make sense, even when it required a deeper level of faith, and even when it meant trusting that the women who were meant to be there would feel it, not just understand it.In this episode, I share the behind-the-scenes truth of BECOMING – The Retreat - and how this experience has already changed me before it’s even begun, and I know it will change every woman who’s meant to walk through this portal with me.This isn’t your 'average' retreat.It’s a full-body remembrance - a return to the version of you who already knows, who already trusts, who already leads.🌿 Tune in as I share... The truth about what BECOMING has been teaching me behind the scenesWhy I resisted creating it at first - and what shiftedWhat “high frequency” really means (and why it’s more human than we think)The deep intention woven into every part of the retreat experienceWhat you can expect to feel, experience, and receive if you’re joining usIf what I’m sharing today resonates, imagine stepping into an entire weekend designed entirely to amplify this work,  to lift your frequency, integrate new energy, and step fully into your power so that you can start magnetising MORE of what's meant for you TO YOU and step into your next chapter of expansion.  That’s exactly what we’ll do together at BECOMING 🌴 The Retreat.You’ll leave anchored in your next-level vibration so that you can start magnetising aligned opportunities, people, and experiences effortlessly.We’ve intentionally designed this retreat for those who are ready to move beyond theory into real energetic transformation,  because the truth is, you can learn all you want about manifestation, neuroscience, or energy work… but nothing accelerates your expansion like being in the energy with others who are also raising their vibration, supported by a container designed to hold that frequency.If you feel the pull, I invite you to fill out your Expression of Interest and give yourself the gift of playing with the energy of your desires (and see what kind of magic meets you when you do!)
