Micro-Dosing The “Bad Trip” Myth: Set, Setting & Integration Explained

High-achieving women don’t burn out because they “lack discipline.” They burn out because their nervous system is stuck in survival mode.

In this episode, I’m joined by Julie Hagen (former attorney turned psychedelic facilitator + integration expert) to unpack why microdosing and macrodosing can feel life-changing for some people — and unsettling for others. We talk about the real differentiator: safety, nervous system regulation, and integration (not hype, not escapism, not “just have a ceremony and hope for the best”).

You’ll hear:

1. Why some people feel calmer, clearer, more creative… and why others feel anxious or scattered
2. The truth about set + setting (and why it changes outcomes)
3. What “integration” actually looks like after a journey
4. When microdosing may not be a fit (and why that’s not a failure)
5. How intention + grounded support can create sustainable change
