During the pandemic, a single mom in Los Angeles found herself exhausted, anxious, and isolated. With no childcare and long nights of freelance work, she was burning out fast. Everything changed when she met another mom who introduced her to psilocybin gummies, small sub-perceptual doses of “magic mushrooms” meant to calm the mind without creating a high.

What started as curiosity soon became a simple daily ritual. Within weeks, she felt more relaxed, less reactive, and more present with her daughter. For her, microdosing became an alternative to nightly wine and constant stress, helping her reconnect with herself and rediscover gratitude in everyday life.

This personal journey reflects a wider shift happening among mothers. Across the country, many women are exploring psilocybin microdosing as a way to manage anxiety, depression, and the pressures of parenting. Instead of seeking escape, they are seeking presence.

Tracey Tee, founder of Moms on Mushrooms (M.O.M.), is leading this conversation. Her platform offers courses, guidance, and a supportive community where mothers can learn about microdosing safely and intentionally. Through education and shared experience, M.O.M. is helping women move beyond stigma and embrace a more mindful approach to mental wellness.

Tracey’s mission is to remind mothers that healing doesn’t mean running away from responsibility but meeting it with clarity and compassion. “Microdosing isn’t about checking out,” she says. “It’s about showing up, maybe for the first time ever.”

For mothers everywhere, this movement represents more than just a new wellness trend. It’s a redefinition of self-care, one that values authenticity, emotional balance, and connection. As Tracey and Moms on Mushrooms continue to lead the way, they are helping women turn quiet moments into powerful transformations.
