Send us a textSo many gems in this episode of The Mama Psychedelia Podcast! I interview a woman who has inspired me for many years with her online presence and who has become a dear friend of mine through our shared connection with the lands of Costa Rica. This woman is a powerhouse mama, the bread winner of her family, the matriarch, Katya Nova! In our conversation (literally recorded earlier today) we dive into her journey of building the influential online platform Matriarch Collective which has transformed the lives of literally 10's of 1000's of women and families and we chat about her most recent launch which is, the Wealthy Woman Vault 2.0 (get a ticket while it's hot). We talk about Katya's journey of co-parenting and homesteading with her ex husband who is also her best friend, and raising their 4 beautiful little ones together. In this episode Katya shares some incredibly beautiful stories of her own birth experiences, the work that it takes as a woman to unlearn many of the things we were told and taught along the way, and what it takes to rise and reclaim our inherent birthright of Abundance & JOY! Last year alone, her platform Matriarch Collective generated 2.5M+ dollars online, she was was able to give back 500K to the women in her community, in affiliate dollars and philanthropic projects for single mothers. Katya believes that 'wealth' is measured in TIME, not DOLLARS. It's not about how much money you make, it's about how much money you get to keep. And how that money is working for you. Wealth is the freedom to be generous. It's about being at ease in your nervous system, and knowing that if something unexpected happens, you (and your family) will be ok. I know you are going to love this episode and want more of what she's bringing to the table.MAKE SURE you grab your ticket to the Wealthy Woman VAULT 2.0 before it closes for good!

Send us a Text Message.In this episode of The Mama Psychedelia Podcast I interview Kate Kincaid. Kate is a licensed therapist based in Tucson, AZ and Salt Lake City, UT. She runs group private practices that specializes in working with LGBTQIA2S+ clients, people in ethically non-monogamous relationships and people seeking psychedelic integration therapy. She is trained by MAPS in MDMA-Assisted Psychotherapy and utilizes Ketamine Assisted Therapy in her practice as well as KAP provider trainings. Kate is trained in Perinatal Mental Health from Postpartum Support International and is a certified doula as well. She is passionate about perinatal mental health and is an advocate for innovative psychiatric treatments for PMDD and postpartum depression. These disorders affect many new mothers and can have a profound impact in their family systems and current treatments for these conditions are limited. In this episode together we explore her work and how it can support folks to move through traumatic experiences from their lives and transform, as well as how this work has been transformative in her own life, and particular in her transition into motherhood. Kate speaks about her experience with a near death experience, and choosing to be here for her children, and how psychedelic therapy was been a guiding light in integrating this experience. We speak openly about the reality of Postpartum depression which many women face and shine light on the lessons and the resources for support that are available. Resources: Website: www.katekincaid.com, www.tucsoncounselingassociates.com, www.somapsychotherapyslc.com,  www.swlovefest.com Email: kjkincai@gmail.com Instagram: @okatekincaid or @tucsoncounselingassociates Your Host Mackenzie: Launching my Pre Conception Pregnancy Preparation 9 month journeyIG: @mamapsychedelia & @hunnywombdoulaEmail: Birthkeeperkenz@gmail.comWould you like to be on the show?

Can you believe we live in a world where the state can bypass parental authority, and kids can access life altering surgery without their parents' permission? We dig deep into this contentious issue, shedding light on a disturbing trend in New Mexico, where a controversial survey is being administered to kids at school-based health centers. But we won't let the media, legislators, and governor gaslight us into thinking there's nothing to see here. We're also peeling back the layers of the Biden family's potential involvement in corruption, his policies on climate, and their impact on everyday life. Hydrofluorocarbons, a key component in cooling homes, are under the hammer, and we're determined to lift the lid on the price hikes that lie in the wake of this crackdown. Let's shift our focus to China, to be precise. We discuss the looming threat to the US auto market, the implications for low-income households, and the potential consequences of a Trump-DeSantis debate.  But don't worry, we lighten up too! Don't miss our review of a hilarious YouTube video dance performance, a laugh guaranteed! To top it off, we're diving into the surge of faith-based content in Hollywood and exploring reports of non-human biologics recovered from crashed crafts.
