About
I’m JoJo – California girl, lover of life, good friends, new experiences, food, wine, and fun times. Helping people uncover happiness discovered through perspective, laughter, and gratitude. I’m happy you’re here!
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 my mind worked. My thoughts were more in-depth, my observations more amusing, my world views more elaborate. In that newly discovered world, I processed new ideas, as well as pain. And nearly every time I’d laugh until I cried. 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 suffering through a loved one’s opiate addiction, causing me to isolate during this process. I felt a lot of hopelessness and depression in the experience, all while trying to run a business on my own. It was too much.
With the power of mushrooms, I felt empowered, enlightened, and I loved the new feeling of self discovery. New energy. It wasn’t until later on that I discovered microdosing. I didn’t always have hours on end to set aside time to dive deep, but found this to be a great way to tap in from time to time when I felt like I needed it.
It took me a while to find a business name that I liked. I thought about the different iterations of myself I’ve gone through, and the things that are important to me.
SUNSHINE.
Soleil, the French word for sunshine was the nickname I went by when studying French for years as a kid. Not super intuitive to spell unless you speak the language. But I resonated with the cheery vibe and I could go on about the power of the sun so you get the idea.
MONDAY.
After years spent as a self-proclaimed workaholic, through mushrooms, I gained perspective on the importance of enjoying this short time we have here on Earth. I finally struck a balance, and instead of grinding 24-7 until I couldn’t work anymore, I allowed weekends to enjoy time with friends and to myself. Oh and I LOVE being myself.
Instead of being fatigued from working all the time, I came to enjoy the process of relaxing and unwinding fully each weekend, reveling in the energy of Mondays. A new chance to push toward these big goals that I have. My new favorite day!
And that’s what I hope to bring to this space. A newfound love of life, love, fun and hope. It’s Sunshine Monday!
To Your Health & Happiness,
JoJo ☀️🍄
