Psychedelics, Plant Medicine & Functional Chocolate with Funga Founder | Milana Abensperg und Traun

What happens when a single psychedelic experience changes the entire course of your life? 🍄✨🎧🔥❤️‍🔥LISTEN VIA LINK IN BIO & -❤️‍🔥🔥🎧 https://linktr.ee/pitchingpassionWe sit down with Milana Abensperg und Traun — founder of Funga, a platform and product brand on a mission to reconnect people with the healing power of nature. A young Austrian woman who took a hero dose of magic mushrooms on a remote Indonesian island, moved to Mexico City to immerse herself in plant medicine culture, and came back to Europe to build something that didn't yet exist. She's the first person in the UK to bring Kanna — an ancient South African succulent — into functional chocolate form. And she did it with months of obsessive attention to detail, sourcing from some of the best medicinal mushroom growers in the world. 🌿🍫https://fungachocos.comThis isn't a conversation about getting high. It's a conversation about consciousness, healing, the forgotten wisdom of indigenous plant traditions — and what it actually feels like to build a passion project from nothing, on purpose.🌿 Milana studied functional mushrooms and plant medicine for two years in Mexico, building fungaonline.com — an educational platform designed to make these topics accessible and beautiful. Her debut product, Funga Chocos for Grooving, combines cordyceps mushroom and Kanna in chocolate form — the closest thing to a microdose without the psychedelic. Her next product, Funga Chocos for Dreaming, is already in development.We cover:🍄 A hero dose of magic mushrooms in Indonesia — and the clear before-and-after it created 🌍 Two years in Mexico City learning from healers, facilitators and a French mycologist who sings to his mushrooms 🍫 Why she built a functional chocolate instead of a supplement — and the months of obsession that went into every detail 🌱 Kanna — the ancient South African empathogen that binds to serotonin receptors, regulates your amygdala, and is nature's answer to the morning SSRI ⚡ Cordyceps — the energy and stamina mushroom used in Chinese medicine for thousands of years, and why most of what's on the market isn't the real thing 🧠 The mycelium network, human connection, and why a high dose of psychedelics is the fastest route to understanding we are all one 🌙 Why she's building a chocolate for dreaming next — and the Blue Lotus plant from the Amazon she's obsessed with 🎧🔥❤️‍🔥LISTEN VIA LINK IN BIO & -❤️‍🔥🔥🎧 https://linktr.ee/pitchingpassion🎁 Listeners get 10% off using the code thekollective10 at audreyschocolates.co.uk 🛍️🔥 Fireside Chat 🔥💫 Three things that give you joy: Morning routine.
