Psilocybin, Microdosing & Mental Health: What Every High-Achieving Woman Should Know About Brain Health, Trauma & Personal Growth

What if some of the biggest breakthroughs in healing aren't about changing who you are—but changing how your brain is able to think? Psilocybin and microdosing have rapidly become some of the most talked-about topics in mental health, trauma recovery, neuroscience, and personal growth. Yet beneath the headlines, misinformation, and stigma lies a much deeper conversation—one rooted in curiosity, research, and the incredible capacity of the human brain to adapt and heal. In this episode of Empower HER Radio with Dr. Corey Winn, Dr. Winn sits down with licensed mental health professional, CEO, and educator Charity Mills for a thoughtful, evidence-informed conversation about the evolving science of psilocybin-assisted wellness. Together, they explore what microdosing is (and isn't), how neuroplasticity influences the way we think and behave, why trauma often keeps us stuck in repetitive patterns, and what current research is revealing about the future of mental health treatment. This episode isn't about promoting quick fixes—it's about empowering women with education so they can make informed decisions about their health and well-being. Whether you're navigating chronic stress, burnout, trauma recovery, personal reinvention, or you're simply fascinated by emerging neuroscience, this conversation will challenge assumptions, expand your perspective, and leave you asking better questions about what healing can look like. In this episode, you'll discover: • What psilocybin and microdosing actually are—and common misconceptions surrounding them • How neuroplasticity influences mindset, habits, and long-term behavioral change • The relationship between trauma, the nervous system, and brain health • Why curiosity matters when evaluating emerging research in women's health and mental wellness • How therapeutic integration differs from simply seeking symptom relief • The importance of informed, evidence-based conversations around mental health innovation If you're a woman committed to personal growth, leadership, longevity, emotional resilience, and becoming the healthiest version of yourself, this episode offers an intelligent, balanced conversation that invites both curiosity and critical thinking.
