Summary
In this episode, Alexa interviews April Pride: creative entrepreneur, veteran of the cannabis space, and now, founder of SetSet, an educational platform and podcast (picking up where The High Guide left off) for women curious about psychedelics.
With Alexa about to embark on the journey of motherhood, she asks many of the questions parents working with psychedelics have to consider: How do you overcome the stigmas of being a psychedelic parent? How do you talk to your children about drugs? How do you know if a substance is ok to use during pregnancy?
Pride discusses:
- Being dubbed "the weed mom" and why she embraced the nickname
- Parenting children around drug use and how parents lose credibility when they lie (the kids are going to know)
- The need for more research into how substances interact with women's cycles and changing hormones
- Knowing when to trust your doctor and how more conversations lead to more knowledgeable doctors
- Microdosing psilocybin and the developing SetSet protocol
