Keep Going University: How to Microdose

Based on insights from Tracey Tee (Moms on Mushrooms) and Ayelet Wald’s A Really Good Day

When I spoke with Tracey Tee, founder of Moms on Mushrooms, one thing became clear: microdosing isn’t about escaping. It’s about returning—returning to presence, to clarity, to a version of yourself you might not have seen in a while.

Tracey started exploring psilocybin after losing her business during COVID. She was burned out, deep in grief, raising a kid in a chaotic world. Like many of the women in her growing community, she was looking for something gentler and more honest than the usual offerings from the pharmacy. What she found was that mushrooms, when approached with intention, could help. Not with magic, but with slow, subtle, persistent change.

She now leads an online community of thousands of moms exploring microdosing together. What they’re finding is consistent: more patience, less reactivity, more creativity, less guilt, more joy. It’s not a miracle. It’s a tool. And if you’re curious, you don’t need to jump in blind.

This guide is for people who want to start carefully, consciously, and in a way that fits into a real life—not a retreat, not a fantasy, just your actual day-to-day. We pulled ideas from Tracey’s work and Ayelet Wald’s personal experience as told in A Really Good Day to build this step-by-step plan.

I’ve included a PDF microdosing schedule and guide for folks who want to follow many of the popular protocols.
