I’ve been working on a book called Shroomies—a straightforward look at how mushrooms are helping people. Not the flashy kind of help. The real kind. People coming off SSRIs. People showing up for their kids. People remembering how to laugh again.
When I started talking to Tracey Tee, founder of Moms on Mushrooms, I realized this conversation was exactly the kind of thing that should be on Keep Going. Her story is personal. She lost a business during COVID, hit the wall like a lot of us did, and then got introduced to mushrooms by a friend on a camping trip. Not in a “woo” way. In a “what if this actually helps” way.
What Tracey built in response is impressive: a digital community with thousands of paying members, all moms, all learning how to safely and intentionally use psychedelics—mostly microdosing psilocybin. No Bali retreats. No ceremonies in the jungle. Just a framework to help women understand what this medicine is, how it affects their brains, and whether it might be a better alternative to nightly wine or overprescribed meds.
The most interesting part? They're not pushing protocols. No “take this much at 7 a.m. and wait.” Tracey calls it “intuitive microdosing.” You learn how it works in your body, you learn your why, and you stay grounded in community while doing it.
We talked about moms who wanted to feel fun again. Who were grieving. Who were creative and didn't remember what it felt like to make something just for the hell of it. There’s also research starting to emerge on psilocybin and female hormonal health—everything from postpartum to menopause.
This episode is a reminder that healing doesn’t have to come from a bottle with a label. That psychedelics might have a place in day-to-day life, especially for those carrying the mental load of families, careers, and the general madness of being alive right now.
Listen to the full conversation on Keep Going. Tracey Tee is doing serious work here. You don’t have to believe in all of it, but you should hear it out.
