In this episode, Al interviews Peggy Van de Plassche, former banker and venture capitalist on the topic of microdosing psychedelics (recorded 11-13-22). Peggy grew up in low-income housing in an industrial area of the North of France raised by a struggling, single, narcissistic mother. During part of her childhood, she was also living with a stepfather who was not only majorly depressed, but was very mean towards Peggy. Peggy’s only sibling passed away in an accident when Peggy was only seventeen years old.
These situations gave Peggy a long history of anxiety and phobias that began in her childhood. Once Peggy was able to start working, she moved up the corporate ladder quickly. However, this only brought on more anxiety and self-sabotaging behaviors.
A long and slow path of healing brought Peggy to the concept of microdosing psilocybin. Peggy spent a great deal of time researching the topic before she started on her own journey. Hear Peggy describe her microdosing, as well as two guided macrodosing trips that led to incredible self-exploration and learning.
Peggy has since quit her corporate work in order to focus full-time on her writing, sharing her story of personal transformation. Learn more about Peggy by checking out her website at peggyvandeplassche.com.
