“Where did you get this (in south Utah)?”
"Don’t worry about it, just enjoy the trip” 

For my 25th episode I was blessed to be joined by the amazing psilocybin therapy advocate, vegan cannabis chef and entrepreneur Aleja of Aleja Alchemy.  In our discussion we learned of Aleja’s journey with cannabis and psilocybin which began in South Utah (of all places).  We learned a little bit of what brought her back to the east coast as well as the ways she teaches her students the benefits of psilocybin therapy.

Listeners will hear how passionate Aleja is about the importance of keeping access psilocybin mushrooms barrier-free as well as the need for us all to be intentional in our psilocybin use if we want to see psilocybin acknowledged and legitimized as a self-medication tool.

Aleja works with men and women looking to use psilocybin therapy to help regain perspective and self-confidence.  You can find Aleja on INSTAGRAM: @aleja.alchemy
