Wake & Baking
Let's talk for a second about wake and baking... With my one-on-one plant medicine coaching clients there is a common reoccurrence.
A lot of people who have PTSD especially childhood trauma tend to wake and bake.
Why is that?
If you have ever been woken up by an abusive parent, partner, or sibling, you might wake up with nausea.
That's because for those split seconds when you wake up in the morning and don't know where you are your fight or flight is activated and once you snap into focus and realize that you are safe you are just left with the nausea from your body reacting.
There is a lot of nuance to this and it's definitely more complex than just that, but if you wake and bake there might be a connection to nausea and a traumatic event that happened and woke you up.
This is why I recommend working with me or someone else on a one-on-one coaching program for plant medicine and aftercare.
Realizations like this are a lot to tackle on your own as you process the emotions and breakthroughs.
Wake and baking isn't just a stoner trait it's a coping mechanism for some.
I made a video about this on TikTok and currently it's got over 50,000 likes and I've gotten so many messages from people who said they burst into tears when they saw it.
I understand why, when we have a breakthrough we can burst into tears because of relief, because of validation or just because of realizations.

Have you tried my Vegan Pumpkin Mac N Cheese yet?
Well what are you waiting for??
Its so easy, and only uses one pot.
Also, my promise to you, I will NEVER make you read 3 pages of BS before giving you the recipe, so letโs get to it!
Vegan Pumpkin Mac
2 cups of spiral pasta or elbow macaroni 1/2 cup reserved pasta waterl]โฐ]
1 tblsp infused vegan butter
1 clove finely chopped garlic
1 tblsp mustard
2/3 cup pumpkin puree or soup
1/4 cup nutritional yeast
1/2 tsp garlic powder
1/4 tsp nutmeg
1 tsp Hot sauce (Frank's is best)
1/2 cup Meltable Vegan Cheddar
Salt and Pepper to taste
Optional topping 1/4 cup bread crumbs with fine ground pecans
* Boil pasta, when it is aldente drain out the water, reserving about a cup of the pasta water. Then put the pot back on the stove on medium heat, and stir in all of your ingredients, then slowly pour in the pasta water as needed to thin out the cheese sauce. Stir and let simmer until everything is melted and mixed together. (If it's too runny you can add a tblsp of flour to thicken the sauce.) When it's to your cheese sauce texture liking, remove it from the heat I added breadcrumbs and ground pecans to the top and broiled it for a few minutes then served it in a cute pumpkin (both are optional). This is a great way to eat your veggies and your cannabis! If you try this recipe, tag me in your pics and let me know what you think!
