Country singer Maren Morris opened up about a difficult psychedelic experience that had a profound impact on her. Struggling with postpartum issues and mental health challenges during the COVID-19 pandemic, Morris turned to a guided psilocybin trip in London to gain clarity. She described the experience as a "nightmare" and compared it to an "ego death," revealing that it forced her to confront feelings of losing control, both as a new mother and as someone who had been a child performer, relying on external validation for years. Sharing stories like this reminds me that it’s not all beautiful visions and cloudlike clarity—doing the work is difficult.
