“mostly in a tub” is so accurate

Hm, that would be interesting if true - I’ve never seen any research on this but would be curious.

Anecdotally I’ve actually seen quite the opposite throughout the past 20 years - e.g. women (especially single moms) sticking it out in awful careers simply because of the pay, vs men who have taken major financial risks by quitting lucrative career paths to pursue their personal passions and interests.

Yes, this. Your intention, setting, and dose will dramatically change the impact. It can be a profound mind expanding experience or just a trippy night of partying with friends.

I recommend either low-dosing alone (i.e. more than micro-dosing) or a guided high dose trip if the intent is to discover something about yourself.

I personally found solo low-dose psilocybin sessions to be the most impactful, but I know a lot of people who have benefited from guided ayahuasca ceremonies.
