    WHY MOST PEOPLE GET MICRODOSING WRONG—AND THE RIGHT WAY TO DO IT | Tiffany Hurd - E148

    Kristin and microdosing advisor Tiffany Hurd explore the intersection of trauma, consciousness, personal growth, and the intentional use of psychedelic practices as tools for self-discovery and lasting change. From overcoming a difficult childhood to redefining healing through integration, the discussion challenges conventional ideas about wellness and emotional resilience. It also unpacks the science and philosophy behind microdosing, the importance of nervous system regulation, and why consistency often matters more than intensity. Beyond the practices themselves, the deeper message is about creating sustainable habits that reshape identity and unlock new possibilities. If you're interested in personal transformation, mental wellness, and expanding your perspective on healing, this conversation offers valuable insights. KEY TAKEAWAYS: • What does true integration look like after a transformational healing experience? • How can intentional microdosing and daily practices support lasting emotional and neurological change? • Why does expanding perspective through higher states of awareness help people move beyond fear, stress, and limitation?
