The Mama Psychedelia Podcast – Détails, épisodes et analyse

In this episode of the Mama Psychedelia Podcast, I interview my friend Lauren Love. Lauren is a medicine woman, birth keeper, mama of 2, and the Founder of Wise Women's Choice Natural Birth Control. In our conversation we dive into all things natural birth (she's got some epic tales), communing with medicines of the earth as a supportive tool for present attuned parenthood and joyful living. We talk about mothering in Costa Rica outside of conventional norms, her relationship with spirit and Lauren's journey of sovereign fertility awareness and working with natural contraceptive methods. 

Along Lauren's path as a birth keeper and fertility awareness educator, she discovered one of the most valuable tools for women looking to care for their fertility needs, Wise Women's Choice. Today, she and her husband produce this cream in Costa Rica and serve clients around the world. She has helped thousands of women coming off hormonal contraceptives through her teachings and resources, and is leading a revolution rooted in sisterhood, feminine empowerment, and womb wisdom.     

She is raising up sacred wisdom carriers to share these teachings and partnering with local producers globally to spread this priceless birth control tool internationally at a grassroots level. In the mountains of CR, where you'll find her playing with her girls at the river, making music with friends, and rejoicing at the beauty of life.

In this episode of the Mama Psychedelia Podcast, I interview Amana Be Love on her journey with birth, death, motherhood and midwife-ing other women through big initiations in their lives. Amana is a brilliant bright soul and it was an honour to receive the stories of her life from loss of some of her dearest loved ones, and babies of her own to her empowered home birth experiences, the births of her living children, and her journey of motherhood and profound space holding for others. Amana has traversed 42 years in this earthly realm. She is an experienced Birthwalker & Deathwalker, who draws from both her personal & professional experience within these portals to support other women in 1:1 sessions & women's circles. Amana has held life in her womb 6 times, has two living children earthside, birthing 2 babies at home with a midwife & her last with only her family & soul sisters present. Amana walks alongside women in birth, grief, mothering & rebirths through their lives. Reminding women and shining a light on their inner knowing & in teaching them ways to source from within. We must first know ourselves, our values & what we truly desire in order to move towards our soul's calling & receive the gifts of living a life in alignment with our purpose.

In this episode of The Mama Psychedelia Podcast, I talk with Kate Coletti. Together we journey  deep into the world of Birth & holistic pelvic care. Kate shares about her personal journey as a young body worker turned midwife then Mother, and her devotion to working with women in birth as well as in her hands on hands in body therapy practice. Kate helps women restore pelvic health through intravaginal manual therapy that softens and strengthens tissues, relieves symptoms, and clairvoyantly taps into the well of wisdom that resides in the root. We discuss the power this tender work holds for women holds pre pregnancy, postpartum, and in all stages of womanhood, in the way of healing trauma & greater supporting our physiology and alignment, which can often be life altaring, in how we exist in our bodies, how we birth, and in our sexual expression. Kate speaks to her book Enlightened Birth which is not yet released, and shares so much profound wisdom and beauty on Birth and how transformative birthing is no matter what way one chooses to birth.

In this episode of The Mama Psychedelia Podcast, I interview Micah Stover. Micah is a psychedelic somatic therapist working with clients healing from complex trauma. Her work revolves around supporting women and mothers in their path to reclaim agency and embodiment from systemic patriarchal oppression. Micah has a book called Healing Psychedelics which will be published in October 2024 focused on her experience as a survivor of trauma and a therapist in the psychedelic space. She is a featured guest speaker and writer on podcasts like Ten Laws with East Forest and Back from the Abyss, as well as a contributing author for DoubleBlind and Women on Psychedelics. She hosts monthly retreats in Mexico, and travels across the United States to present and facilitate. Micah has a BA in philosophy with an emphasis on Buddhist studies and an MA in psychoanalysis and feminist theory. Micah is a mama to two beautiful boys and loves spending time with them in the ocean in her free time.

 In this episode of The Mama Psychedelia Podcast, I interview Jess Shine.

Jess is mother, wife, life lover, farmer, birthkeeper, village wise woman, adventurer, and dreamer. 

Life has led her to her latest big leap: her 50 acre family homestead in Northern Idaho where she is dedicated to making their place on this earth better for the next generation. She says “I’ll die satisfied knowing that I made the world a better place, even if it’s just for my 3 littles.” 

 They’ve got a a whole farm, milk cows, chickens, sheep, alpaca, mini donkeys, llamas, peacock, guinea hens, turkeys, cats, and, of course, dogs.  

Jess found a 10 year career in the hospital as a labor and delivery nurse abruptly dissolved a few years back. She was a nurse, a good one, and then overnight wasn’t — fired for following the law of informed consent and not checking a mother’s cervix when the mom told her she couldn’t. 

 Seeing the hospital thru the view of policymakers changed the way she saw her work, and losing the career she built up over a decade  rocked her to her core.  

She went from a really hard, exhausting, inflammation and stress causing job to village wise woman. She learned how to help others heal by healing herself, and sharing her findings through herbalism and homeopathy. Add in mindfulness practices, plenty of fresh air and sunshine, remove the toxins as best as one can, and top it all off with love. 

Jess Shine shows up as a companion for the births to which she’s called as a witness and a guide.

She teaches natural healing and home health classes, and hosts free calls on zoom to help mothers find peace with their births and unwind their stories. Jess recently launched a program to help birth attendants and families understand the ins and outs of the hospital. 

She is also the director of programs at the Matrona, the school founded by Jess and I’s elder teacher Whapio, and a true blessing to this world.   

 In this episode together we explore the concept of mothering the mother: caring for mothers in our own community through pregnancy, birth, postpartum, and beyond — & equally important — nourishing the great Mother Earth.
 
 Enjoy.

In this episode of The Mama Psychedelia Podcast, I interview the second papa to ever come on the show, Levi Barker, a father and steward of Iboga Wellness Center in Costa Rica who approached me with a desire to share his story. Levi came to Iboga about 14 years ago due to an opiate addiction. After coming to the medicine himself and finding solace and healing, he befriended a Bwiti medicine carrier who trained him, and 8 years later offered him the blessing to serve this medicine. Iboga holds incredibly potent powers in reminding people of their clarity and strength, and aids them in overcoming intense addictions, as well as being a form of treatment for common mental health obstacles such as depression (including postpartum depression) anxiety, and ptsd. Iboga is also now known for its supportive measures in boosting fertility & supporting those who may have been considered infertile to conceive human life. Levi shares some of the Bwiti lessons he’s walked with, simple universal truths about what it means to be a human and live here on earth. He speaks to how this medicine & his journey has impacted his parenting & how he feels this teacher can support those clearing out their subconscious closets before becoming parents or those who already are and want to go deeper.

In this Episode of The Mama Psychedelia Podcast, I interview Lindsey Wise.
This may just be my favourite episode to date. One of the most moving conversations of my life and truly an answered prayer to share this type of soul medicine with those seeking it. Together Lindsey and I explore the sacredness of Birth, Death, Loss, Illness, Ecstatic Joy, and Sound Frequency. Each share along the way is golden heart nectar, through the beauty and pain, the synchro-mystic unravelling of the ceremony of life is so ever-present. I am so honoured to have received this woman and her family's life story.

Following the birth of Lindsey's first child, she had a Near-Death Experience, where she found herself surrounded by multitudes of light beings who initiated her into the world of subtle energies and healing vibrations. At that moment, she realized that all beings create their own unique vibration—their soul song. Each person’s soul song makes up the great Choir of Life. And that is where one of her heart offerings 'Soul Song Revival' was born. Her work is to awaken humanity to the healing power of their unique sound. She's traveled the world and the astral realms, cultivating healing techniques to help people awaken to the power of their own voice and to the healer within. She blend ritual, breathwork, guided journeys, sound healing, yoga and community song  and she call this Ceremonial Energy Medicine.

In this episode of The Mama Psychedelia Podcast, I interview Stéphanie Liévana, a mama of one, living in a small off grid ‘town’ in Baja California Sur, Mexico. Stéphanie is a dear sister and inspiration in my life, walking the path of a medicine woman. In our time together Stéphanie shares some of her life’s journey. She was born in Brazil and grew up in Mexico, in her twenties she found herself in Baja. Along the way she fell in love with her beloved partner and ultimately got pregnant, after being diagnosed with hypothyroidism as a child and being told by several doctors, she would never be able to conceive and have a child naturally. She credits this experience to her own healing journey, coming off of medication, finding plant medicines and devoting to a new way of being. She has always been deeply connected with children, and over the past several years found deeper connection with the spirits of Ayahuasca, Peyote, Tobacco & Santa Maria. Ceremony has become an important part of her life, as well as community, El Santuario is a beautiful land that she stewards with our dear sister Ayara Sollua and family, a beautiful Red Tent and Temezcal resides on this sacred land. Stéphanie’s heart is so beautiful and there is so much wisdom here that she shares with us along with the story of her magical birth experience. Her son Lazuli is her greatest teacher and inspiration.
