Psychedelic-Powered Personal and Professional Development š Unlock MORE in Your Life and Career with a Rewired Brain and Body š
Welcome back to "The Microdose Diet" newsletter, where success, passion, and happiness converge to elevate your life and career. I'm Peggy Van de Plassche, and after two decades in the financial services and tech industries, I discovered the transformative power of mushrooms for mental wellness and peak performance. This revelation led to the creation of "The Microdose Diet" protocol, a game-changer for personal and professional growth. Dive in to explore more!
Imagine standing on the edge of the next big phase in your businessāready to grow, expand, and hit your sales goals. But just as youāre about to step forward, something holds you back. Youāre not alone; many (female) entrepreneurs experience these invisible āblocksā right when theyāre ready to take the plunge. Whether itās a flicker of self-doubt, imposter syndrome, or lingering old beliefs, these mental roadblocks can cloud the path to the success youāre ready for.
Weāre all passionate about growing our businesses and boosting sales, but these invisible barriers often show up just when weāre ready to go all in. And trust meāIāve been there. Not so long ago, I was petrified of selling, held back by my own doubts and limiting beliefs.
Today, Iām inviting you to join me on a journey to clear those blocks and build a growth-focused mindset. Grab a journal, find a cozy spot, and letās dive into this step-by-step guide inspired by inner work and business growth. Together, weāll clear the path to higher sales and bigger success! Below is the link to the video that accompany this process. You just have to follow along!
šļøPart I: Understanding & Practicing Tapping
One of the most effective tools for tackling mental and emotional roadblocks is tapping, also known as Emotional Freedom Techniques (EFT). Tapping calms the nervous system, helps you rewire your brain + work through mental chatter that can undermine your confidence. And as you know from following The Microdose Diet, I love the combination of microdosing psilocybin to amplify and accelerate tappingās benefits. Donāt let your brain hold you back from trying itš§ ; itās much safer to stay in your comfort zone, but real growth happens outside of it!
How to Get Started: From the beginning, I like to start with an intentional tapping session on āI can go to the next level with this work.ā Too often, we begin with skepticism, disbelief, or criticism. Letās clear that from the start. Follow along with the tapping session in the masterclass video.
šŗļøPart II: Assessing Your Current Situation
Before making meaningful changes, itās essential to understand where you currently stand and any discomfort with your current situation (Imposter Syndrome anyone?š). Take time to reflect on your mindset and identify any internal limits. Ask yourself:
What thoughts and feelings come up when I think about my business and sales as they are now?
Are there any recurring fears, doubts, or self-imposed limits?
Pro Tip: If youāre familiar with The Microdose Diet protocol, you know journaling is a fantastic tool for growth. Donāt let your brain convince you itās too much or wonāt workāwrite down these thoughts. You can find a general tapping session in the masterclass video that you can adapt with your own words. My book and online course also include tapping scripts tailored to specific situations. By identifying whatās holding us back and releasing it, we create space for new, supportive beliefs to grow.

šÆPart III: Setting Your Intention
A clear, focused intention can make a huge difference in your sales journey. Define your sales or business goal for the next 3-6 months. For example, you might set an intention like, āI want to double my sales by connecting deeply with my clientsā needs.ā Choose an intention that is both a stretch and realistic š¹. For example, āI want to quintuple my sales in 3 monthsā will likely feel too unrealistic and too detached, making it difficult to connect your mind and body to the goal.
Visualization and Tapping Exercise: Close your eyes and imagine this intention as if itās already achieved. Notice any discomfort or negative thoughts that pop up. You can do a tapping exercise to clear away any āI canātā or āIām not readyā thoughts. Youāll find a tapping example in the masterclass.
š§¹Part IV: Clearing Blocks & Cultivating New Beliefs
Our environment and daily stressors often shape our thinking, adding subtle doubts to our mindset. Iāve often emphasized the importance of decluttering (things, spaces, events, peopleā¦) Aligning your habits, environment and identity with your ideal selfāyour alter ego who has already achieved their goalsāis a non-negotiable for sustainable success.ā
How to Do It: Journal about the stress or resistance you feel toward becoming this person who has achieved your intention. Do you think sheās too arrogant or assertive? Maybe you feel she shouldnāt be asking for business or that sheās too visible? Tap on these thoughts. Follow along with the masterclass tapping session and adjust the words to fit your specific situation.

āļøPart V: Refining Your Intention
Intentions grow stronger with refinement. Now that youāve begun clearing mental blocks, revisit your intention with a fresh mindset. Do you feel differently about it? Are there new insights or adjustments you want to make?
Thereās no need to leap to overly ambitious intentions if your brain and nervous system are already struggling to connect with a more reasonable goal. Itās not āGo Big or Go Home.ā Think of this as an iterative process where you gradually move the goalposts as you acclimate to each new level.š„ This is truly a ārinse and repeatā approach.
How to Do It: Tap on your refined intention. It might be similar to the earlier one or a slightly adjusted target. Donāt choose a totally different goal, as our brain tends to make us flip-flop to keep us āsafeā in the same place. Stick with the same theme but perhaps adjust the scale. Follow the masterclass tapping, and as always, feel free to adapt it to your own intention.
š§Part VI: Targeted Tapping for Specific Blocks
Certain sales barriers tend to come up more than othersāfear of charging what youāre worth, feeling uncomfortable with self-promotion or fear of asking for support (introductions, testimonialsā¦). Identify the specific blocks holding you back from fully engaging in your sales efforts.š²
Focus Areas: You may feel your work has limited value, fear asking for what youāre worth, or worry about coming across as too assertive. Many limiting beliefs can stand in the way of sales. Letās tap on these specifics. You can find a general tapping session in the masterclass as a basis for your tapping.

šŖPart VII: Positive Tapping & Visualization
We end this journey with positive tapping to boost self-belief and visualize success. Picture yourself confidently closing sales, helping clients with your offerings, and thriving in your role as a business leader.š
Quick Visualization Tip: Imagine the excitement and satisfaction of achieving your sales goals, and tap to reinforce that feeling. Let this visualization and tapping session create a new, empowered mindset you can carry into every client interaction. Check out the masterclass for this final exercise.
š¤Building a Sales Mindset That Sticks: Takeaways
Cleaning before affirming:
You may have noticed that we waited until the end to shift into positivity. Affirmations are great, but they often come too soon. Letās clear out old blocks before planting new beliefs!
Aligning with your sales leader identity:
This reprogramming work is about aligning your brain, body, emotions, and energy with your target state. Jumping too quickly means the changes wonāt stick. Think of it as You 2.0 (before You 3.0, 4.0, etc.).
Serving versus Selling:
An important aspect of selling is authenticity. You know your products and services bring real value and solve a problem for your clients. But itās essential to truly believe itānot just know it! Without that deep belief, you may come across as sales-y or even desperate. When you genuinely believe in yourself and your offer, youāll naturally come across as authentic (because you are!), and your offers will feel like the welcomed solutions they truly are.
Holistic approach:
I love incorporating multiple tools to reprogram your brain and body in the most effective way. Tapping, visualization, journaling, and microdosing work together to deepen and accelerate the rewiring process. For those nervous about psychedelics, Iāll be launching a legal product in December-January that mimics psilocybinās benefitsāwithout the psilocybin. It will take a bit longer to see the benefits (4-8 weeks), but it will be 100% legal and registered with Health Canada. Reach out if you want to be added to the waitlist.
