How to Reconcile Microdosing with Corporate Life (Without Losing Your Job).
The Integration Chronicles w/ Chris
Welcome back to The Integration Chronicles! This month, we’re exploring the BODY, nervous system regulation, somatic experiencing, and how we integrate expanded awareness into our physical experience. I’m excited to share this conversation with Chris, founder of MYFEELIUM, a microdosing company that’s making alternative healing approachable and accessible.
Chris talks about how plant medicine shaped how he navigated corporate environments, fatherhood, and ultimately, his leap into building a company rooted in love, compassion, and intentionality. This is a conversation about reconciling expansion with reality, how microdosing supports embodiment, and what happens when the universe pushes you into alignment.
The Conversation
Olivia Eden: Chris, welcome. Tell us who you are.
Chris: My name is Chris. I’m one of the founders of MYFEELIUM. We launched the company in the beginning of 2025, and we’ve really been focused on making alternative healing approachable and accessible. Personally, I’ve been working with this medicine since I was a teenager, and it’s shaped the man that I am today. Shaped me through adolescence, through corporate environments, through sports, through just my evolution as a man, as a father, as a husband, as a businessman. Throughout all of it, plant medicine has been a key conduit to me staying true to myself and being a beacon for people in my community, somebody that really focuses on promoting love and compassion and understanding.
Olivia Eden: You’ve told me that your first ceremony was at 15, and that really changed everything for you. I’d love for you to share how you were able to reconcile all of the understandings and downloads that came through that experience with corporate life and the vast difference that resides between the two.
Chris: I grew up in the woods as a Boy Scout, hunting and fishing, with a deep love for wilderness. My first psychedelic experience at 15 happened in those same woods. It opened up this profound understanding that we’re part of something greater—this interconnected nature where we’re all breathing the same air. It shaped my perspective of being in right relation with Mother Nature and helping others understand that through the energy I emit, a frequency of love and compassion.
That outlook is unique in corporate environments. My career revolved around go-to-market strategy and revenue generation, an incredibly cutthroat, anxiety-inducing industry. Bringing this perspective of love and compassion into a notoriously untrustworthy field has granted me tremendous success. My integrity and honesty became my competitive advantage.
There have been many experiences since that initial one at 15. They’ve helped me understand the importance of purpose, of doing something greater than myself. At the end of the day, it’s not all about money or financial stressors. That understanding has driven the direction for MYFEELIUM.
Olivia Eden: It’s interesting, once you start on this path, how the medicine allows for all of the things that are out of alignment, out of integrity in our life, to naturally fall away. It sounds like that path was sort of set for you to shift out of the corporate world. Can you tell us a little bit about what that experience was like?
Chris:It was jolting and traumatizing, candidly. I helped start a company that got acquired by a Fortune 500, and I was miserable in that massive organization. I felt empty, lacking purpose and legacy. My performance fell off a cliff, and the universe said, “It’s time.” I got laid off.
I had already met my co-founder, and we’d been toying with starting a company focused on making medicine approachable and accessible with integrity and intentionality. I took the layoff as a sign to take the risk and face my fears.
From a somatic standpoint, that was deeply dysregulating. The medicine my co-founder had been developing became a tool to deal with the stress and anxiety. I was also getting ready to have a baby—a lot to be fearful of. It was an incredible test to face these challenges from a place of gratitude, to say “these are meant for me,” and recognize the importance of keeping my nervous system in homeostasis.
I did that through microdosing, meditation, breathwork, movement, dance, music, and nutrition—leaning on all the tools we have for a healthy lifestyle.
Olivia Eden: For those tuning in, you don’t have to worry that if you start microdosing, your world will blow up and you’ll get fired or not want to work at your job anymore. But what you can count on is that it’ll show you where in your life you are out of alignment, where you are out of integrity. If you’ve been quietly suffering and quietly miserable, forcing yourself to continue in some trajectory that you aren’t fully on board with and that is not true to who you really are, it will reveal that to you. Going down the same path, if out of integrity, will become more and more uncomfortable.
Initially, it’s just going to start to increase your awareness. I’m really encouraging a lot of people in the corporate world to understand the importance of us bridging the gap between expansion and awareness and consciousness and the corporate world and those dynamics and those systems. We really need more people within those environments that are leaning into this expansion as well.
Let’s shift gears. I’d love to talk about how you have found microdosing to be helpful with embodiment and somatic regulation, some of your favorite tools for combining those two. Are there any particular products with MYFEELIUM that are better to enhance the somatic experience?
Chris:
If you’re looking for expansion in the corporate world, we’re building a community of coaches, guides, and resources that people can access.
Our process starts at cultivation. We don’t go near the medicine if we’re not in a place of regulation. We only work with it in states of meditation. My business partner develops all our offerings with binaural beats regulating his nervous system, because we know our energy leaves imprints on everything we create.
From the somatic perspective, microdosing grants me awareness. It’s the ability to recognize where I’m at in the moment and create space between myself, my state, and what’s happening externally. That’s been almost a superpower. It helps me slow down and ask, “Why am I feeling like this? What’s really going on?” Then I can implement the tools I have—breathwork, meditation, or just a little shimmy to move the body and break free of tensions.
We’ve developed different stacks with mushrooms and ancillary adaptogens: Reishi, Chaga, Lion’s Mane, Damiana, Yohimbe, Kava. We have a Soothe stack with turmeric for inflammation, a Focus stack with Lion’s Mane and Gotu Kola for clarity, and a Cacao stack as a gentle entry point.
Psychedelics can have a stigma, like you have to go to Peru for this time-intensive journey. But it can be gentle and incremental. Set, setting, intention, preparation, and integration are still part of microdosing. This is a gradual way to dip your toe for people who might not have the resources or capacity for a more expansive journey. This is the yin to that yang.
Olivia Eden: Psilocybin doesn’t tolerate compartmentalization. Even at low doses, it opens the mental compartments where you’ve hidden emotions—that childhood disappointment, the old breakup, everything you’ve suppressed. It also locates old injuries and stored trauma in your body, bringing physical discomfort to the surface for healing.
Having a support system to process what arises is crucial. Chris is building a facilitator network for exactly this. The goal is to create bandwidth for the emotions you want—happiness, joy, peace—and unlock embodied movement.
I know someone who was physically constricted and stiff. Psilocybin helped him open up enough to move and dance. It can transform your yoga practice too. For years, my mind wasn’t in the yoga room at all—I’d finish class and wonder if I’d even been present. Through this medicine, I freed up what kept me disconnected and learned to actually be with my body.
Chris: We’re working with some of our coaches doing fascia work with Human Garage, and it’s all intertwined. When we can really start to stack some of these healing modalities, the stories we’re hearing from our facilitators, from our practitioners, around people that are paralyzed, and they’re taking our Electrolyte stack, which is going to have magnesium, zinc, L-theanine, glycine, these compounds that our body is craving and needs. In conjunction with this medicine, and then on top of the fascia work and the breathwork and all of these things, the results are mind-blowing. Some of these stories that we’re hearing are truly like out of a comic book. It’s hard to believe at times, but it is affirming every day that we’re on the right path and we’re doing something so beautiful. For us to be able to be a conduit to it is so important.
Olivia Eden: If you had to pick one integration tool that was the only one you could take with you for the rest of your life, what would it be?
Chris: I think it’s a little off the beaten path, but for me, it’s dancing and music. Music is such an important part of my life, and being able to, in grief, in gratitude, in happiness and sorrow, turn to music and move my body to dance, I think it’s an underrated one, but it’s for me so, so important.
Olivia Eden: That’s one of my favorite ones too. That is such a beautiful body integration tool and works so well sometimes with psilocybin. I’ll put on music and dance and I become the music. I am the music. So it works so well with the gift of music that we get to enjoy.
Is there a special offer you would like to give our listeners and readers?
Chris: Absolutely!
