🌿 Ever wonder what led me to create Purple City? 🌿

In Episode 2 of Beyond the Dose, I’m pulling back the curtain and sharing my personal journey—what inspired me to build a space for deep healing, why I chose psilocybin facilitation, and how my own experiences shaped the Purple City Experience.

If you’ve been curious about the why behind it all, this episode is for you. Tune in, and let’s go beyond the dose together. Out tomorrow! 🎧💜

📊 The science is clear: Healthy relationships = healthy lives.

🌿 Research highlights:
High-quality relationships improve immune function and heart health.
Loneliness increases the risk of early death by 26%.
Social connection reduces stress hormones like cortisol.

✨ Feeling disconnected? Reconnect with yourself first. Journaling, mindfulness, or a wellness retreat can help you approach relationships with more balance and presence.

💕 This Valentine’s Day, skip the clichés and focus on what truly matters: intentional time together.

The quality of your relationships impacts your health more than exercise or diet. Harvard research shows high-quality connections can reduce mortality by 50%!

✨ Tip: Start improving relationships by investing time and presence. This week, try:

A tech-free meal with loved ones.
A quick daily check-in (even 5 minutes).
Listening without interrupting (this one is hard for some).

💜 Relationships are the heart of a fulfilling life. Need inspiration? Book a Purple Pause with your partner or friend and reconnect in our cozy yurt.

Burnout isn’t just exhaustion - it’s a thief. 🦹‍♂️ It robs you of your vitality, disrupts relationships, and leaves you questioning everything. It sneaks into every corner of your life, quietly draining you until there’s nothing left. But here’s the truth: it can also be the best gift ever! 🎁

Join me as I dive deep into burnout in the very first episode of my podcast, BEYOND THE DOSE, launching January 30th.

🛑 If burnout has you feeling stuck, tired, or disconnected, this is your sign to hit pause and tune in. Stay tuned for more details! 🔗

✨ From Burnout to Balance: Why Alignment is the Key ✨

Burnout isn’t just about exhaustion—it’s about being out of alignment. When your values, goals, and actions don’t match up, life feels overwhelming. Clarity becomes clouded, and purpose feels far away. When you align with your values and purpose, life begins to flow. 💜

💡 Clarity attracts; indecision repels. Set your intentions and watch as aligned opportunities and people naturally come into your orbit.

🎁 Share your gifts. Confidence grows when you demonstrate your talents, and in turn, you discover your value—becoming a magnet for connection and growth.

🌊 The ripple effect is real. Aligned people attract more alignment, creating a powerful network of support and opportunity.

🌟 Life in flow. Energy is generated instead of depleted. Misaligned people, things, and habits naturally fall away, making space for what truly matters.

When you're in alignment, you don’t have to chase—it comes to you. 💫

Ready to go deeper? Stay tuned ... Something I’ve been working on behind the scenes is almost ready to share, and I’m beyond excited to invite you into this next chapter with me. 🚀

01/23/2025

🎙️ I am beyond excited to announce the launch of BEYOND THE DOSE - where we explore healing, transformation, and purpose.

If you are interested in conversations about life’s daily challenges, mental health & wellness, faith, and legal psilocybin treatment then I invite you to join the conversation!

Only 7 nights sleeping till launch! Will you be listening? 🚀

📊 Did you know that spending just 10 minutes a day in silence can lower your cortisol levels (the stress hormone), improve focus, and boost creativity?

We’re bombarded with noise—emails, texts, notifications. Our brains need downtime to recover, process, and grow. Silence is like a reset button for your nervous system.

🤫 Wellness Challenge: Try sitting in silence today. No distractions, just you. Feel the benefits ripple through your body and mind.

01/06/2025

Feeling restless when you try to sit still? You’re not alone! Stillness can be tough in our fast-paced world, but it’s a superpower for personal growth.

👉 Start small:
2 minutes a day: Sit in silence and breathe.
Notice what you see, hear, and feel.
Don’t judge the thoughts that pop up—just observe them.

🌱 Over time, extend your practice. Stillness isn’t about “doing nothing.” It’s about reconnecting with YOU.

💬 What’s the hardest part of sitting quietly for you?

01/03/2025

Have you suffered from burnout? I know I have! Did you know burnout impacts 89% of employees—and it’s not just work-related? Emotional and mental exhaustion can spill into every part of life, including relationships and self-care.

My latest blog explores the truth about burnout in our fast-paced world and how you can embrace stillness and renewal this year. I hope it resonates and may provide some new perspective for those seeking relief. ✨

Rethinking Resolutions: The Quiet Challenge
What if your resolution this year wasn’t about doing more, but about doing less? 🌿

Challenge yourself to simply be—to sit quietly with yourself, no distractions, no to-do list. It sounds simple, but for many of us, it’s one of the hardest things to do. Why? Because stillness often brings up feelings we’ve been avoiding—anxiety, nervousness, or even restlessness. But leaning into that discomfort is where growth begins.

💡 Start Small:
Begin with just 2 minutes of quiet time a day. Set a timer, close your eyes, and breathe deeply.
Gradually increase the time each week, aiming for 5, 10, or even 15 minutes.
If sitting still feels overwhelming, try focusing on a single sound, like a ticking clock or the rustling of leaves, to anchor your mind.

💡 Reflection Prompts:
What comes up for you during these quiet moments?
Do you feel resistance? Curiosity? Relief?
How does your body respond—does it relax, or feel tense?

Quiet time isn’t about achieving anything; it’s about practicing presence and reconnecting with yourself. This small, intentional practice can help you slow down, build self-awareness, and feel more grounded over time.

This year, let’s resolve to embrace stillness and discover the peace within. 🌙✨

✨ Happy New Year, Purple friends! A bunch of you are new here, so I figured it's time for a little reintroduction! ✨

I’m Michelle—a corporate HR & IT leader turned psilocybin facilitator, retreat host, and wellness enthusiast. After 20+ years navigating big global change programs (and living in Holland for 18 of them—yes, I speak fluent Dutch 🇳🇱), I made a BIG pivot, seeking more connection, purpose, and peace in my life.

In 2019, I discovered psilocybin, and WOW… let’s just say my life hasn’t been the same since. Through some deeply transformational experiences (including an unforgettable encounter with faith that shook me to my core), I realized my mission: to help others on their self-healing journey.

Today, through Tree of Life Facilitation Services and Purple City Retreats here in beautiful Portland, OR 🌲, I guide people toward purpose-driven, peaceful lives with tools like psilocybin, hot and cold contrast therapy, wellness experiences, and time in nature. Oh, and yes, I love a good sauna and cold plunge combo—and chocolate and ice cream still have a hold on me. 🍫🍦

I’m also a proud mom of two amazing daughters, Emma & Anneke (almost an empty nester—send tips! 😅) and live with my partner Philip. When I’m not hosting retreats, you can find me hiking the PNW trails, planning my next adventure (34 countries and counting ✈️), or cozying up with a good book & an oat milk latte because FALL IS LIFE 🍁.

And as we step into a new year, I’m thrilled to share something I’ve been working on— my podcast, BEYOND THE DOSE, is launching at the end of January! 🎙️ It’s a space where we’ll dive deep into healing, personal growth, and designing a purpose-filled life. New year, new conversations, and endless opportunities to transform together—stay tuned for more!

Ready to reconnect with yourself, find peace, and create a life you love? Let’s do this together. 💜 Check out the links in my bio to learn more about retreats and facilitation services. I’d love to support you on your journey! 🌟

✨ "Psilocybin didn’t give me the answers—it opened the door to curiosity." ✨ In this clip from Beyond the Dose, I’m sharing how psilocybin sparked something deep within me—a knowing that there was more to explore, more to heal, and more to understand about myself. It wasn’t about instant transformation, but about being called to go deeper. If you've ever felt that pull—like there's something more waiting for you—this episode is for you. 🎧💜 #BeyondTheDose #PsilocybinHealing #InnerWisdom #Curiosity #FaithJourney

🔥 What if burnout isn’t just about stress—but about being completely out of alignment? 🔥 In this clip from Beyond the Dose, I dive into how psilocybin can be a powerful tool for breaking free from burnout. It’s not just about rest—it’s about reconnecting with yourself on a deeper level. Throughout this podcast, we’ll be exploring how psychedelics can support healing, with guests sharing their personal journeys of transformation.

😴 You’re exhausted, but rest feels like a luxury you can’t afford … You push through the fatigue, telling yourself you’ll slow down after the next deadline, the next obligation, the next to-do. But that “after” never comes. Sound familiar? In this clip from Beyond the Dose, I’m talking about why rest isn’t a reward - it’s a necessity. We prioritize productivity, but what if we leaned into rest with the same dedication? What if we saw it as fuel instead of a “nice to have?” 🎧 Listen now, share with someone who needs this reminder, and if this episode resonates - leave a review! Your support helps get this message to those who need it most. Thank you. 🙏🏼💜 #Burnout #overwhelmed #stressedout #burnoutrecovery

🎙️Beyond the Dose has dropped! 🎉 Episode 1 is live and it’s all about BURNOUT. Did you know that 80% of employees are predicted to suffer with burnout in 2025?? 😱 Let’s make 2025 the year we all slow down, get more mindful and take control of our wellbeing. 🤗✨💜 👂🏻Listen wherever you find your favorite podcasts! #mentalhealth #plantmedicine #faith #beyondthedose

My first live - it was terrifying but I did it! 😱🤪💪🏼

📊 Burnout isn’t just a buzzword—it’s a real health crisis. 🚨 Stats: Chronic stress increases your risk of heart disease by 40%. Burnout can shrink your brain’s prefrontal cortex, making decision-making harder. Americans check their phones 96 times a day, fueling tech exhaustion. ❄️ Want to break the cycle? Practices like sauna sessions or cold plunges reset your nervous system and help combat stress at its root. 💜 Ready to pause and reset? Book a retreat at Purple City for the perfect stress detox. Whether you have just a couple of hours or a whole weekend, we have options for you.

✨ Hot take: Doing nothing is HIGHLY underrated! ✨ What if your next big resolution wasn’t about achieving, producing, or fixing—but about embracing nothingness? ☕ Watch the clouds. 🍵 Sip tea without your phone. 🛋️ Sit on the couch and stare into space. When we give ourselves permission to pause, joy bubbles up in the most unexpected places. 💡 Pro tip: Block an hour this weekend for intentional nothingness. You might be surprised at how good it feels! 💬 What’s your favorite way to “do nothing”?

🎉✨ Cue the countdown to chasing dreams! As we say goodbye to 2024 and hello to 2025, let’s toast to designing a life filled with purpose, growth, and transformation. 🌟 This year, we’re not setting resolutions—we’re creating a blueprint for the life we want to live. 💭💡 Whether it’s big leaps or small steps, every move forward counts. So here’s to trusting the process, celebrating progress, and showing up for the best version of YOU. 💪💜 May your new year be bold, beautiful, and filled with moments that light your soul on fire. 🔥 Let’s make 2025 unforgettable—who’s with me? 🙌 #NewYearNewEnergy #PurposeFilledLife #TransformationVibes

📊 Why resistance hurts more than reality: when we resist painful emotions or situations, we create extra layers of suffering. ✨ Resistance = Tension in body and mind. ✨ Acceptance = A chance for peace, even in pain. ➡️ Research says: Acceptance based therapies improve emotional resilience and reduce anxiety. 💜 At Purple City, a cold plunge or sauna session can physically embody the art of leaning into discomfort - and finding relief on the other side. ❓What’s one small thing you’ve resisted lately that you could practice accepting?

Something exciting is brewing over here at Tree of Life and Purple City… 👀 It’s been in the works for months, and I can’t wait to share it with you. Any guesses on what it might be? (Hint: if you read my December Blog then you already know). Drop your thoughts below—maybe you’ll guess right! 💜✨
