🧠3 Ways to Uplevel Your Mindset
It's a common refrain in the personal and professional development world – just think you are “it” already and everything will magically fall into place. But if you've ever tried to flip the switch on your mindset, you know it's not always that simple.Here's the thing: mindset isn't just about your thoughts. It's about the entire belief system that shapes how you perceive and interact with the world around you.It's the lens through which you view life – including your emotions, feelings, soul, energy, and even your unconscious mind, which silently pulls the strings behind the scenes. Now considering that the mind is only a portion of who we are, and that the conscious mind itself is the tip of the iceberg when compared to the unconscious mind it is no wonder that your mindset work focusing on the conscious mind has seen moderate results at best. ✅From Incomplete to Holistic✅From One to Many✅From Traditional to Innovative💯Comprehensive Approach🧰Best Tools in the Toolkit🍄Ready to Take the Plunge?Feeling stuck in the endless loop of chasing after that elusive perfect mindset?

🙅Mismanaged Psychedelics Can Quickly Become A Liability for OrganizationsAs you know,  I am a fervent advocate for the strategic and mindful practice of psychedelics for performance and mental wellness. However it is difficult for me not to recognize that the Psychedelic Gentrification is making things quite complicated for organizations…🦸‍♀️Roles🧭ResponsibilitiesRevising Policies and Communication:- Drug Policies- Workplace Handbooks- Communication- Legal Insights- Taking Responsibilities- CompassionEducating Employees on Best Practices:- Mindful Practice- Quality Products- Strategic Protocol☣️RisksLegal Risks:- Federal Prohibitions- Compliance Challenges- Class Actions- Employee Safety- Reputation RisksHealth Risks:- Occupational Hazards- Potential ConsequencesNavigating the presence of psychedelics in the workplace presents a significant challenge for board members and managers. Leaders have a critical role to play in addressing the presence of psychedelics in the workplace. By assuming responsibility for implementing best practices, revising policies, and effectively communicating with employees, they can mitigate potential risks while fostering a safe and supportive work environment.

🤥Unveiling the Ultimate Gaslighting: "You Can Have It All"

🤥Unveiling the Ultimate Gaslighting: "You Can Have It All"
⛓️Breaking Free from the Illusion of PerfectionAmong the plethora of societal myths, "You Can Have It All" stands out as one of the most insidious forms of gaslighting, especially when considering the expectations placed on women.🤥“You Can Have It All” = The Ultimate GaslightingThe notion that women can (and should) effortlessly juggle a super successful career, look like a supermodel, raise wonderfully well-adjusted kids, be a fabulous spouse while being well-travelled, educated and pleasing (but still assertive) is at best damaging, at worst mental, emotional and physical subjugation. Want to level up your gaslighting radar? Order The Brain Power Microdose to get that extra help.👸The Illusion of PerfectionThis gaslighting is especially pernicious because it preys on women's insecurities that have been carefully cultivated since childhood (it is indeed much easier to manipulate an insecure individual, so let’s start them young!), as well as societal expectations. It suggests that any failure to meet these unrealistic standards is a personal failing rather than a systemic issue. 🤷‍♀️Manipulated into Obedience and ConformityMoreover, the "You Can Have It All" gaslighting undermines the concept of choice and autonomy. The pressure to conform to this ideal leaves little room for individuality or self-expression.Need a little help on how to break free from gaslighting? Pre-order The Microdose Diet for a guide to do just that!🔓Reclaiming One’s FreedomOpting out of this destructive cycle doesn't mean settling for less; rather, it's about rejecting the false promises and unrealistic expectations that have been imposed upon women. It's about redefining success on one's own terms and prioritizing fulfillment and well-being over external validation.😎 About The Microdose Diet I'm Peggy Van de Plassche, a former banker and VC with 20 years in financial services and technology.

🍄Psychedelics are NOT a Cure-all; Microdosing psychedelics is a mean to an end, not an end in itself

🍄Psychedelics are NOT a Cure-all; Microdosing psychedelics is a mean to an end, not an end in itself
Contrary to popular misconceptions, psychedelics are not a shortcut to instant enlightenment or a magic pill for all of life's problems. Instead, they are a catalyst, an amplifier that can significantly augment other practices, leading to greater success, passion, and happiness when used intentionally and responsibly.Microdosing psilosybin + alternative practices = Optimal abilities to:🧠Rewire the brain 🧍Calm the body😟Master emotions🔋Raise energy levelIt's essential to emphasize that working with psychedelics requires a strategic and holistic approach.  It's not enough to simply ingest psychedelics and expect instant transformation. Instead, it's crucial to have a well-thought-out protocol in place, incorporating preparation, ongoing support and integration.The Microdose Diet protocol will guide you through all the steps from microdosing psilocybin to preparation, ongoing support and integration practices.On another note, the quality of the psychedelic product is paramount. It's essential to source psychedelics from reputable suppliers who adhere to strict quality control standards to ensure purity, potency, and safety.Unlike many other substances, psychedelics are non-addictive, and it's virtually impossible to overdose on them.In conclusion, psychedelics are not a panacea or a magic pill. Rather, they are a potent amplifier that can enhance existing practices and accelerate personal growth. About The Microdose DietThe Microdose Diet by Peggy Van de Plassche focuses on personal and professional development using alternative medicines, such as microdosing psilocybin, tapping meditation, journaling, guided meditation and visualization ✨😎 About The Microdose Diet I'm Peggy Van de Plassche, a former banker and VC with 20 years in financial services and technology.

🙅How the Patriarchy is Failing Men; Breaking Down Stereotypes
I know some of you might be cringing already, ready to jump at my jugular while screaming that women are the victims of the patriarchy, not men. The reality is that the two statements are true; Men and Women are both short-changed by the patriarchal system. This is not a zero-sum game with one being exclusive of the other. Whether a “They”, a “She” or a “He”, patriarchy is not helping anyone.Check out the data below and think again if you believed that our current system is a system promoting success, passion and happiness. 🔒Jail🍸Addictions🧠Mental Health🎓Education👨‍👧‍👧Family Life💣 ExtremismAs always there is more than meets the eye when it comes to our society. Yes, on one hand, positions of leaderships in government, corporations, and everywhere in between are still mainly held by men. But on the other hand, behind the headlines of CEO billionaires, the overall picture is not that resplendent for gentlemen. 😎 About The Microdose Diet I'm Peggy Van de Plassche, a former banker and VC with 20 years in financial services and technology.
