My experience with mushrooms began in 2018 with a macrodose that felt like it altered my state of being.

I fell in love with the way it my mind worked on them. My thoughts were more in-depth, observations more insightful, and my perspectives were more amusing. In that newly discovered world, I processed new ideas, as well as pain points. And nearly every trip, I’d laugh until I cried, a truly an amazing feeling. And I mean it when I say – my life has never been the same since.

This was during a time when I was also going through a lot in my personal life. I was struggling finding balance with helping a loved one with his opiate addiction, and ensuring that I was living my life. I lot of times I would isolate during this process, out of hopelessness and depression, all while having no choice but to run my fashion business by myself. It was too much for one person.

With the power of mushrooms, I felt empowered, and I loved the feeling of self discovery and new energy.
It wasn’t until later on that I discovered microdosing. I didn’t always have hours on end for a dive deep, but found this to be a great way to tap in from time to time when I needed it.

I explored plant medicine even further in an attempt to help my love to get off of the drugs he was addicted to. I sadly lost him in 2020. He loved helping people, and I suppose part of this journey is carrying on that passion.

I was constantly sourcing mushrooms for friends and a few years later, decided to take the business online. And it needed a name.

SUNSHINE.
Soleil, French for sunshine, and also my nickname when I studied the language in school. I resonated with the cheery vibe and the benefits we get from the sun.

MONDAY.
After spending years as workaholic and losing someone who loved life so much, balance became important for the first time, and enjoying the short time we have on Earth. I began taking weekends to enjoy time with amazing friends and time to myself. Oh and I LOVE being by myself.

Taking the time to enjoy the process of relaxing and unwinding fully each weekend allowed me to revel in the excitement to begin creating again on Monday. A new chance to push toward these big goals that I have – my new favorite day. And it’s the day I sent my goofy emails out now with sales on the products and life updates. 

With Sunshine Monday, my hope is to bring a newfound love of life, love, fun and hope to this space. It’s been so rewarding to hear from people who have found these products to help with various aspects of their lives.

Please don’t hesitate to reach out to me with questions or ideas. I genuinely love connecting with people, and am honored to be here as part of your journey.

To Your Health & Happiness,
