How I Discovered Microdosed Gummies were the Answer to My Everyday Stresses and Worries

The past few years have been rough on everyone.

When the pandemic began, I was a mom of two trying to balance my full-time job with being a present, fun mom and wife when I got home from the office (if you know, you know). On its own, that's one hell of a balancing act.

Then the pandemic hit, and suddenly I was a work-from-home mom of two trying to get it all done while still maintaining a sunny, supportive disposition toward my preschooler, seven-year-old, and husband.

Like all of us, I thought - at first - working from home would make things more relaxing, not more overwhelming.

Spoiler: I was wrong.

Three years later, some things have remained the same: my job switched to permanent WFH, I still have two kids I adore (the little one just learned words and how to open cabinets I'd rather he not open) and my husband, after a long day at the office, still makes a valiant effort to take some of the pressure off of me when he gets home.

One thing has changed from how it was during the pandemic: I've ditched my nightly glass (or two) of wine in favor of a far more family-friendly euphoric buzz, and the change has done wonders.

When I switched to WFH, my time at home increased, and so did my overwhelm. Between trying to pay attention on a Zoom call while my kids were galloping around (not to mention the periodic wails of, "Mom, he's not sharing the PlayStation controller!"), stopping midway through a project to cook lunch, and learning to multitask like a pro…I was way overwhelmed.

' Not only did my work life start suffering, but my ability to remain present, pleasant, and fun for my family did, too. By the time my husband got home, I needed a glass of wine to take the edge off.

But a nightly glass of wine came with side effects I didn't love: a lack of mental clarity, next-morning feelings of doom, headaches, weight gain from the sugar content…the whole nine. Plus, they didn't help my aches and pains from motherhood, my anxiety, or my work performance.

I needed something that would provide real relief, both mental and physical, without the side effects I'd come to loathe. I craved some gentle bliss at the end of the day. I wanted to be present for my family and to be able to hang out with my friends like I had pre-WFH, without the social awkwardness that spending all of my time with kids had given me.

It wasn't until I asked my zen saint of a sister (in the same WFH-with-kids boat as me) how she kept so chill while still getting stuff done that I learned her secret: Mind Mend.

I've never microdosed anything in my life (only "macrodosing" back in my pre-kid days) so I was a little dubious.

But I knew I - and my family - deserved better. So I took the plunge and tried the microdose movement.

Let's talk about how that went.

What are Mind Mend Gummies?

Think back to the most chilled-out you've ever felt. (No, not that time you were so far up in the clouds that you melted into the couch and binge-watched the entire run of Friends.)

I mean a mindset more along the lines of when you were a kid, and everything seemed just a little less stressful.

The world was less daunting, and your outlook brighter. There wasn't a doubt in your mind that you could take on anything, whether it was the big-kid monkey bars or your math test.

Now bottle that feeling of positive confidence, distill it down, make it taste like a tangerine, and stick it into a gummy.

That's the feel of the tranquil Mind Mend Shroom gummies.

On a more technical level, Mind Mend shroom gummies are infused with just the right amount of shroom extract for normal people. (Not your 70s rock band-groupie uncle's glue-you-to-the-couch edibles.)

They're a mildly euphoric treat formulated to help everyday people take the edge off just enough to still get everything on their docket done, but with a whole lot less stress, discomfort, or overwhelm.

With just 250mg of psil*cybin extract per gummy, Mind Mend creates gummies for busy humans who want to sit down at their desk and tackle work with less tense shoulders, join their morning Zoom with a little less social anxiety bogging them down, or just make the daily grind a little smoother.
