To start the new year I am joined once again by Rob Bell. Rob recently released a new book that is somehow nothing like anything he has ever done before, but at the same time, it feels familiar and very much like Rob. This conversation is fun, wide-ranging, and a bit difficult to capture. His new book is called "Where'd You Park Your Spaceship" and was a lot of fun to read. I hope you enjoy this conversation as much as I did. Resources: Where'd You Park Your Spaceship (Book) God After Deconstruction ORTLine 2024 Join the Patreon for Add Free Listening

Show notesAmazon and DoorDash take different approaches to bridging the physical and digital worlds. Amazon has built an extensive infrastructure of warehouses, logistics networks and data centres to directly control its operations. DoorDash instead relies on partnerships with restaurants and stores for deliveries, limiting its capital investment. In this podcast, Baillie Gifford investment manager Kirsty Gibson analyses the advantages of each model and how both approaches can pose a disruptive challenge to more traditional businesses. Amazon and DoorDash exemplify two distinct approaches to rooting a business in both the physical and digital worlds. Amazon has done so by investing deeply in physical infrastructure, including its vast logistics operations and data centres. DoorDash, by contrast, has focused on partnering with others to offer meal and grocery deliveries. Baillie Gifford investment manager Kirsty Gibson explores the merits of each approach and discusses how the two companies and others like them can pose a disruptive challenge. BackgroundKirsty Gibson is an investment manager in Baillie Gifford's US Equity Growth Team and is joint manager of the American Fund and US Growth Trust.  In this episode of Short Briefings on Long Term Thinking, she explores how a growing number of companies are posing a challenge to incumbents by innovating in both the digital and physical realms. The podcast draws on an interview she gave as part of Baillie Gifford's Disruption Week 2023 event. In addition to discussing how Amazon and DoorDash put this into practice, Gibson also discusses the chemicals maker Solugen, self-driving lorries pioneer Aurora and electric car maker Rivian, among others. Resources:Where software meets steelDisruption Week 2023 articles and videosGrowth waves: supporting companies and spotting opportunitiesPast podcasts Timecodes:00:00   Introduction1:30      Historical background4:21      Capital-intensive and capital-light approaches5:31      How Amazon blends its physical and digital operations8:33      Rivian's electric pickup trucks9:57      Solugen: making chemicals with software13:39    DoorDash's capital-light approach15:45    DashMart distribution centres17:28    Aurora's autonomous trucking business model20:30   Reinvesting in Meta23:25   Investing with conviction24:18    Ginkgo Bioworks' potential Follow us via: TwitterLinkedIn Companies mentioned include:AlphabetAmazonAurora InnovationDoorDashGinkgo BioworksMetaNetflixRivianSolugenTeslaTwilio

In this episode of The Mama Psychedelia Podcast, I interview Veladya Chapman of Veladya Organica (previously known over the years as Earth Mama Medicine). Veladya is a mother and herbalist, living and homesteading in rural Georgia. Along with herbalism, Veladya studies and teaches breathwork, entheogens, womb wisdom and holistic nutrition. Her heart is expanded by guiding others towards elevated ways of being. She's also a YouTube sensation (check her out). In our conversation together we explore Veladya's history: from Broadway to Herbal medicine; the practice of Yoni Steaming; the mourning of maidenhood in early mothering; the transformation it is to become a mother; being an entheogenic guide; recoupling with her baby's father; her birth experience with her first born — and so much more. Love chatting with this woman, and honoured to call her a friend and ally on the journey. She's truly an inspiration.

 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. Resources: Where to find Jess:IG: @badassbirthkeeper        @shinewildfamilyfarmWebsite: https://shinewild.farm/badass-birthkeeperYour Host Mackenzie: IG: @mamapsychedelia@hunnywombdoula Intro Music "Waters of the Earth" by Satori covered by me, Mackenzie.

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.(Wifi connection was weak in a few moments excuse the breaks)Resources: Where to find Levi: IG: @realibogawellnesscenter https://www.instagram.com/realibogawellnesscenter/Website: https://ibogawellness.com/Your Host Mackenzie: IG: @mamapsychedelia@hunnywombdoulaIntro Music "Waters of the Earth" by Satori covered by me, Mackenzie.

Here's the scenario: You have a, let's say, complicated relationship with food. You're trying to work toward healing and get rid of these freaking food obsessions and weird binges. You crack open the Intuitive Eating book and love it. Eat when hungry? Stop when full? Honor cravings? This sounds amazing! You try it. And it totally backfires. Then you start wondering if it even works at all. Today I am talking with Hilmar Wagner about what eating should actually look like at the beginning of recovery.

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.

I'm so pleased to welcome Michele Wispelway to the show. Michele is on a mission to revolutionize women's health through her digital telemedicine platform FemGevity. With her extensive experience and unwavering passion, she's here to empower women, tackle menopause, and unleash feminine longevity. For women, the thought of getting older is terrifying. We're inundated with stories about the decay of our bodies and how we'd better “hurry up” and take advantage of our youth while we can. You've probably read all about the “dangers” of having a baby over the age of 35. Your pregnancy is "geriatric”, your kid will probably have some kind of genetic abnormality IF you can even get pregnant at all. Because after you turn 35 you're eggs are rotten and your uterus becomes an inhospitable wasteland. But is that really how fertility works? Today, we discuss how we perceive women once they've hit the age 35 and reveal the source of the panic about “old” women having babies. We'll also discuss why we never talk about the decline of men's fertility and what you can do to empower yourself to feel comfortable in your own body.

In this episode of The Mama Psychedelia Podcast, I interview Bri Aberdeen. Bri started her journey of learning about her life giving body at the age of 22 and soon after became a practicing birth and postpartum doula. She's been serving in this capacity ever since and in her 30 years on earth she's always been inspired by mamas, who make this world go round. Bri has definitely found throughout her walk on this path that she's needed to balance out birth work with life, and other pursuits, sometimes needing to take a pause to integrate all that her doula practice reveals. This is something we dive into conversation together about, amongst an array of topics. How to integrate birth experiences as a professional in this field, how the Doula can Doula herself, the importance of the self care & nervous system regulation for the birth worker to show up fully in someone's birth space. Through her journey of study in birth and her own body, when her own time came she was able to birth without fear, totally in her power. She feels passionately about sex education and birth education and that everyone deserves access to understanding birth and how to support the process beyond birth into postpartum. Doula training is life training. We will all certainly be close to at least one person in our lives who brings life into the world! Relational care is revolutionary my friends. Throughout our conversation we talk in depthly on the path of doula hood, becoming doulas before having children of our own, body literacy and taking charge of our own education, along with Bri's personal journey, the trip in which she conceived her daughter, her relationship with psilocybin, and surprise free birthing her baby at home on her own!*Wrapping up a Hiatus after one of the most full on months of my life on the Birth path.

In this episode of The Mama Psychedelia Podcast, I interview Sami Love. Sami has been working in the field of Psychotherapy for over 7 years, and started her coaching business rooted in Mental Alchemy over 3 years ago; a space where she has found the freedom to weave her western education with her spiritual journey and knowledge. She has been gifted with many life changing teachings through her 5 years of walking with Sacred Plant Medicines in Peru and other countries around the world. She has now been living in Peru for over 2 years working intimately with plant teachers such as Ayahuasca, Huachuma, Bobinsana, and Tobacco. After a profound 6 months spent in the Amazon Jungle working with plants medicines she moved to the Sacred Valley, where she met her life partner and started working helping him in running their retreat centre, Anahata Ayahuasca. Together, they now work side by side in ceremony with their Indigenous Shipibo Maestro; a healer who has been walking  with Ayahuasca for over 40 years. Witnessing and supporting the healing of others is her soul mission in this life time. She is especially passionate about supporting and standing by women and they rise into their fullest expressions. Two of her projects she holds near and dear to her heart are: REWILD for women, and Sisters of the Moon.In September of 2022, after giving birth to her daughter, life took yet another beautiful shift. Sam and her partner chose to bring their daughter into the world in a more alternative way, rooted in community, ceremony, and trusting/following the guidance of her intuition. It has been an initiation that has transformed her from the inside out. Motherhood is now the most important roll in her life, and she feels so honoured and blessed to be learning and growing through this new chapter in life.I feel Sami's passion for autonomous family led birth, in my bones, and am grateful to have received her reflections around the current birthing paradigms that exist both in and outside of the medical system. Sam tells us about meeting the spirits of her children before they came in through psychedelic visions, she shares her conception stories, bridging the worlds of psychology and spirit, experiencing miscarriages, and the beautiful sovereign pregnancy she experienced carrying her daughter that led to her surprise breech birth at home in Peru. We talk about societal fears of birth, filtering out what is true and what is not, when being bombarded with opinions as a pregnant women, and staying connected to intuition and truth within.

 In this episode of The Mama Psychedelia Podcast we dive into Adelina's own journey of coming to a plant medicine path, leaving medical school and finding the healing arts. We explore deeply what multi generational healing looks like, tending to the traumas of the family bloodline, nervous system regulation & ceremony integration. Adelina shares her journey of stepping into motherhood and all that that entailed for her, how ayahuasca can give us avenues to walk down on our healing journey but will not “fix” or “save” us. She shares on her devotional path of study and exploration with the Shipibo lineage in Peru, and what exactly a master plant dieta is. She shares on her pregnancy, her own womb healing, especially post abdominal surgery as a child, and her beautiful birth experience. I love the way Adelina expresses her wisdom. Adelina is a mentor and spiritual practitioner that is deeply dedicated to the feminine healing arts and the wisdom spirits of the sacred master plant teachers. She has held several long standing apprenticeships with deeply immersed elders, shamanic teachers, and Curanderos/as. She specializes in modalities such as Trauma Bodywork, Somatic Experiencing, Ayahuasca Integration, Mind-Body Therapy, Sound Healing, Breathwork, and Dance Movement Therapy.  Adelina walks a life of service as a medicine woman and a mother in the shamanic path of the beauty way. Her devotion is rooted in supporting women to clear and heal the traumas that are alive in their bodies-unraveling the stories of the bloodline and awakening to true liberation of creativity, voice, expression, and emotion. She believes in the medicine of embodiment, the wisdom of the feminine temple body, and the power of integration. She focuses on teaching a new language in regulating the nervous system in healthy and supportive ways so that life can be experienced in a path of love.  Forever a student, she bows in deep gratitude for life and all that is here to teach her.Resources: Where you can find Adelina: IG: @adelinamvaughn https://www.instagram.com/adelinamvaughn/Linktree : https://linktr.ee/adelinamvaughnWebsite: www.adelinavaughn.comUpcoming Offerings: https://ayahealingretreats.com/event/noya-rao-remote-dieta-feb-16-26-2023/https://ayahealingretreats.com/event/ayahuasca-women-retreat/Mackenzie's offerings: Email: birthkeeperkenz@gmail.comhttps://snipfeed.co/hunnywombIG: @mamapsychedeliahttps://www.instagram.com/mamapsychedelia/@hunnywombdoulahttps://www.instagram.com/hunnywombdoula/Intro Music: Catrin Finch and Seckou Keita - Tabadabangfrom their 2022 album 'Echo'Intro Music "Waters of the Earth" by Satori covered by me, Mackenzie.(For more of her music, check out her Spotify) 

In this episode Nicole and Sarah host Jasmine Tay, a ski mom of 3 boys, the oldest (Harry) is an adaptive skier. Jasmine shares all her learnings, tips and advice on getting your child into an adaptive ski program.  For those unfamiliar, adaptive skiing uses specialized equipment and/or training to allow people with disabilities to ski. Jasmine grew up in Australia and started skiing at age 3 at a ski resort called Threadbo in the Snowy Mountains (Australia). Jasmine and her family relocated from Australia to New York City, their home mountain is now Windham (New York State). Becoming a ski family was always something Jasmine and her family planned.  Jasmine's son Harry has a physical disability that requires him to use crutches, so traditional ski school was not an option for him. Jasmine researched programs outside of NYC and found a great adaptive ski program at Windham (link below).  There are programs all over the northeast and across the country, so her advice is to just start researching programs in your area.Children with disabilities have a different set of needs so Jasmine recommends first talking to the program coordinator to discuss your child's needs to find the right fit.  Booking adaptive ski lessons can take more lead time than traditional ski school, so planning in advance is important. Harry started with a one day lesson - he loved it and kept wanting more time on the snow. Jasmine tells us about adaptive equipment and the unique way that adaptive lessons are managed. Over the years, Harry has progressed to independent skiing - and they achieved their dream of becoming a ski family!Resources:Where to find and Adaptive Ski Program for Your FamilyThredbo (Australia) https://www.thredbo.com.au/Windham (New York) https://www.windhammountain.com/Adaptive Sports Center WindhamVermont Adaptive: https://www.vermontadaptive.org/Please Help Support our Podcast:Mabels Labels at www.mabelslabels.com and use code SKIMOMS for 15% off your first orderCheck out the Ski Pack at www.puremountainfun.com and use code SKIMOMS2022 for 20% off your orderJoin the Ski Moms Fun Community!

Today, we sit down with Lindsay Bryan-Podvin, social worker, financial therapist, speaker, and author of The Financial Anxiety Solution. Lindsay reflects on how her own lived experience led her to choose financial therapy as a career path.   Listen in as Lindsay shares how she aims to close “the gap in how we talk about money,” highlighting the importance of having regular conversations with those you trust “about how money makes you feel.”   We also discuss the need for more people to be open about sharing their money stories in order to collectively send the message that no one is alone on their financial anxiety journey. Lindsay speaks on where affirmations fall short and why it's much more productive to create neutral-to-positive associations with money.   Finally, Lindsay talks about the often overlooked value of getting in touch with your body in order to create a stronger relationship with money, and why financial planners need to factor emotion and rapport into account when building trust with clients.   Key Topics: What led Lindsay to choose financial therapy as a career path (3:21) Why we need to talk about money (7:58) Giving people the tools to address their own needs (10:31) Seeing your “financial anxiety journey” to the end (12:39) Nipping bad money beliefs in the bud (15:05) Why building a healthy relationship with money involves getting in touch with your body (18:48) Inviting the client on a journey before trying to solve their problem (24:03) “Procrastination is the other side of the coin from perfectionism.” (30:46) Our final takeaways (35:43)   Resources: Where to find Lindsay Bryan-Podvin: Podcast Website Instagram Book       If you like what you've been hearing, we invite you to subscribe on your favorite platform and leave us a review.

In this episode of The Mama Psychedelia Podcast, I interview  birthkeeper Linda Hamilton. Linda is a mother of 7 and grandmother and the founder and previous director of the non-profit organization “Birth Without Boundaries”. She continues to be an advocate for peaceful birth practices and honouring of the 42 day postpartum nest, and is currently writing a book exploring her life's work. Linda has lived between Costa Rica and Pennsylvania since 2001 and has been supporting many families during their pregnancy journeys in person and remotely. During our discussion, Linda shares a few of her own birth experiences, starting with what it was like desiring an unmediated birth in the 80's at 19 years old when having her first, declaring after her 4th that she would never birth in a hospital again, on to the story of her glorious free birth of her daughter at home. Linda talks about the early days of being a birth companion in her communities as a young mother, her role in advocacy & activism, time shared with Ina May Gaskin & Michel Odent, living in the jungle of Costa Rica and supporting families in wild free birth settings in their full undisturbed power. She illuminates the importance of witnessing the sacredness that is taking place in birth and giving mothers the opportunity to harvest that magic, and how that sets them up for successful, connected mothering. She tells a story of a client's beautiful birth by the ocean, we talk about birth imprinting, and how the prenatal and birthing time impact each of us and how we relate to the world, and how many of our foundational subconscious beliefs are created at this time. She shares how we can all listen deeper to the baby's intrinsic intelligence during the birthing process alongside their mothers.Multi generational living, coming together with community, pulling together resources. And finally, one of my favourite topics, the importance of centering & honouring mothers in our communities so they can fully thrive in their role of power and guardianship, how we can serve mothers, and stop perpetuating cycles of self sacrificing behaviour so they can better serve the future.———————————————————————————————————Resources: Where you can find Linda: Linda's WebsiteMackenzie's offerings: https://snipfeed.co/hunnywombIG: @mamapsychedelia@hunnywombdoulaIntro Music Snippet of "Waters of the Earth" by Satori covered by me, Mackenzie.(For more of her music, check out her Spotify.

She shares how  mushroom medicine has supported her personal journey with mental health, healing addiction, and postpartum. Her first deep journey bringing more insightful healing then years of therapy & treatment centers combined. We hear about her adolescence and upbringing as well as her early motherhood days, how her birth experiences differed, and how her parenting fundamentals have become unconditional acceptance, non judgment, and elevating self expression. We talk about the lack of connection many face with spirit & self, and how this common thread of disconnection exists amongst many folks that struggle with addiction, and how mushrooms can support.Resources: Where you can find Becca:IG: https://www.instagram.com/mycoforia/Linktree: https://linktr.ee/MycophoriaMackenzie's offerings: https://snipfeed.co/hunnywombIG: @mamapsychedeliahttps://www.instagram.com/mamapsychedelia/@hunnywombdoulahttps://www.instagram.com/hunnywombdoula/Intro Music "Waters of the Earth" by Satori covered by me, Mackenzie.(For more of her music, check out her Spotify) https://open.spotify.com/artist/6wf55RQ8QUEzAA2SeXDWSh?si=H-tnVLtzR2OoHnLU1ztOpw

In this episode of The Mama Psychedelia Podcast, I interview Ariana Fotinakis. Ariana is a breath worker, baby mama of one, and business woman, of Aamjiwnaang First Nations (Ontario) and Greek descent, now residing on the Unceded territories of the Coast Salish people, some call Vancouver. Together we explore her journey of reconnecting to her indigenous roots & and raising her daughter connected to her lineage. She shares openly her story of never envisioning herself as a mother, and coming to a place in her life of choosing a need to mother, to pass the torch and her legacy of healing to the next generation, and stepping into it after two powerfully transformative ceremonies, one with breath work and one with psilocybin that prepared her to step into that initiation. Ariana shares how she's finding balance in being connected to her sacred work in this world and being a new mama, finding deep purpose in both. And we discuss how breath wave, amongst many other gifts, has brought regularity to her menstrual cycle which ultimately led to her conception, has assisted her in shedding many layers that were not serving, and how working with psilocybin mushrooms has similarly served her deeply in coming to be the person she is now. We talk about her childhood of being psychically tuned in and being in relationship to ancestors and nature, we explored her teenage-hood and early adult years and moving out of alcoholism and finding an “addiction to” fitness & mindset which brought her into a space  wholeness within herself. I love hearing Ariana speak, and I know you will too.Resources: Where you can find Ariana: IG: @arianafotinakis https://www.instagram.com/arianafotinakis/Mackenzie's offerings: https://snipfeed.co/hunnywombIG: @mamapsychedeliahttps://www.instagram.com/mamapsychedelia/@hunnywombdoulahttps://www.instagram.com/hunnywombdoula/Intro Music "Waters of the Earth" by Satori covered by me, Mackenzie.(For more of her music, check out her Spotify) https://open.spotify.com/artist/6wf55RQ8QUEzAA2SeXDWSh?si=H-tnVLtzR2OoHnLU1ztOpw

Parents who have adult children who have addictions find it hard to reconcile where they went wrong in their parenting.  There is that guilt that they may have something to do why their adult child turned to addiction.  Gail has been very passionate about this topic because she had to go through grief and guilt over an adult child with addiction for years.  In this episode of I Love Me Lab Podcast, Gail had a very enlightening conversation with Mike Speakman, a Life Coach and Licensed Substance Abuse Counselor.  He is also the founder of the support group called Parents of Addicted Loved-ones or PAL.

In this episode of The Mama Psychedelia Podcast, I Interview Jennifer “Juniper” Montgomery. Can you imagine if the entrance into menstruation was celebrated and honoured? If rites of passage were normalized in our most transitional moments of change in life? We will be diving deep into these realms today.Jennifer is a homeschooling, homesteading, homebirthing mama raising 4 children (as well as many varieties of plants and animals) in Appalachia. She is a Matrona certified doula and a birthkeeper and childbirth educator. Some of her greatest passions are physiologic birth, the creation of family, forging new ways for neurodivergent minds, natural and holistic living and healing, and breaking those pesky cycles that prevent loving evolution. In our chat today, we explore some of the ritualistic ways she's created deeper connection and celebration in her family unit, the importance of community, staying connected and welcoming playfulness and presence with children as they enter teenage-hood, breaking taboos in the birth world, home/unschooling, as well as raising children on the spectrum and how we can better support them to shine in their unique brilliance on this earth. One of my favourites themes in this episode is on menstrual magic, cycle syncing within the family and how to support each other in the home, the sacredness of menarche and the first bleed, how grief comes up for kids during this stage of life and we can support them in navigating it while staying true to themselves, as well as raising children in a way where they are connected to their bodies and to nature. This mama has so much wisdom to share, and I know you will get so much out of it.   Resources: Where you can find Jennifer : Email: JuniperVita@gmail.comFB: Jennifer Montgomery, WNC Birthkeeper https://m.facebook.com/110720604168383/Website: https://junipervita.wixsite.com/juniperbirthIG: @asheville_birthkeeper https://www.instagram.com/asheville_birthkeeper/Mackenzie's offerings: https://snipfeed.co/hunnywombIG: @mamapsychedeliahttps://www.instagram.com/mamapsychedelia/@hunnywombdoulahttps://www.instagram.com/hunnywombdoula/Intro Music "Waters of the Earth" by Satori covered by me, Mackenzie.(For more of her music, check out her Spotify) https://open.spotify.com/artist/6wf55RQ8QUEzAA2SeXDWSh?si=H-tnVLtzR2OoHnLU1ztOpw

In this episode of The Mama Psychedelia Podcast, I interview Taylor Valera, “the sound bowl mom,” she's a mother to two, her two year old son and newborn daughter. Along with being a mama, Taylor is a plant medicine advocate, sound bath practitioner and reiki master, who shared her wisdom on healing through her personal experience and guided thought. I love Taylor's authentic vulnerability in this conversation, as well as her beautiful platform. In this discussion, Taylor touches on her own pregnancies, the joys and challenges, her spiritual journey with sound, reiki, herbs and plant medicine such as psilocybin and cannabis. We talk about ancestral healing on her mother line, the taboos of medicine work, her own experience of being a women of colour in the psychedelic space, along with so much more. Taylor shares how mushrooms have brought deeper presence into her parenting, and healing to her heart and her history. Taylor shares how her pregnancy unfolded from disconnection after a hurricane in New Orleans in her early pregnancy to deepened connection along the journey. We discuss Taylor's vision of having a home birth with her second child, and although she ended up transferring for her birth, she had an incredible support system, and profound lessons of surrendering to what is came through, on the other side came a healthy babe and mama. Thank you Taylor for all that you shared with us.Resources: Where you can find Taylor:  https://linktr.ee/soundbowlmomIG: @soundbowlmom https://www.instagram.com/soundbowlmom/Mackenzie's offerings: https://snipfeed.co/hunnywombIG: @mamapsychedeliahttps://www.instagram.com/mamapsychedelia/@hunnywombdoulahttps://www.instagram.com/hunnywombdoula/Intro Music "Waters of the Earth" by Satori covered by me, Mackenzie.(For more of her music, check out her Spotify) https://open.spotify.com/artist/6wf55RQ8QUEzAA2SeXDWSh?si=H-tnVLtzR2OoHnLU1ztOpw

In this episode of The Mama Psychedelia Podcast, I chat with Atiyeh Baradaran, an Iranian-Canadian psychotherapist. Atiyeh works with a wide range of approaches, from Dr. Gabor Maté's compassionate inquiry to sacred plant medicine, traditional ceremonies, yoga & meditation, music, dance and somatic healing. She currently lives in Baja California Sur, and has a private online practice  where she offers therapy sessions through zoom to clients from all over the world. She truly believes that the real healing from trauma only begins when we truly feel Held, heard and accepted in exactly where we are. Atiyeh is a survivor of trauma herself. She was born and raised in Iran, as the youngest of 3 siblings, during the time of war and ongoing dictatorship in the country, and amidst severe health issues in her primary family. Losing her father to death at the age of 13, and immigrating to Canada at 15 away from everything and everyone she knew, are among some of the life events that have brought her into her long and ongoing journey of consciously healing. She has dedicated her life to help and guide others doing the same work as well, and is very passionate about it. In our episode together, we discuss Atiyeh's journey of studying psychology and coming to somatic practices along with her studies under Dr. Gabor Mate's compassionate inquiry training which led to her counselling practice, Be Held Counselling. We dive into the realms of psycho somatic healing, how trauma is stored in the body, and the importance of integration work post plant medicine ceremonies and major life experiences, such as birth. Atiyeh shares some insights on early childhood development, the connection between the mother and infant's nervous system and some regulation tools. We talk about how disease is often the manifestation of suppression or unexpressed emotion, trauma healing, and how we can learn to parent our own inner child. Her brilliance shines in this episode, and carries so much value for anyone on the path to parenthood, in the midst of it, or on the path of parenting themselves again to come into a more whole regulated and emotionally mature version of themselves. Her compassionate heart, grounded energy, and wisdom offers so much. Resources: Where you can find Atiyeh: Website  www.beheldcounselling.com FB:  www.facebook.com/Beheldcounselling IG: @beheldcounselling www.instagram.com/beheldcounsellingYou can also email her directly at: atiyeh.b@gmail.comMackenzie's offerings: https://snipfeed.co/hunnywombIG: @mamapsychedeliahttps://www.instagram.com/mamapsychedelia/@hunnywombdoulahttps://www.instagram.com/hunnywombdoula/Intro Music "Waters of the Earth" by Satori covered by me, Mackenzie.(For more of her music, check out her Spotify) https://open.spotify.com/artist/6wf55RQ8QUEzAA2SeXDWSh?si=H-tnVLtzR2OoHnLU1ztOpw

In this episode of the Mama Psychedelia Podcast, I interview one of dear friends Alexandra Pellatt, it's such a joy to release stories of people that I hold so dear to my heart, and that have moved me deeply in my life. Alexandra is a mama, holistic Doula, fertility support practitioner, and movement educator. We met in our first holistic Doula training together about 4 years ago, and bonded over our love for babies, birth and beyond. In Alexandra's episode, we talk spirit baby communication & connection, communion with spirit children that do not come through in the physical, lose that choose to leave a pregnancy and not incarnate, and those that return to come into human form. We talk about her conscious conception and deep pregnancy journey with her son Sebastian, and her two previous pregnancies with babies that did not come through. Alex shares her experience of having a very inward meditative labour & birth, how her son's energy grounded her into having a deep practice with meditation & hypno-birthing practices in pregnancy. We talk about the death and rebirth that comes with stepping into parenthood, how the postpartum time can be nourishing with the support that is needed to allow for this. We talk about breastfeeding and the high of Oxytocin. We talk about miscarriage and the stigma it carries and how we can better show up and support for this initiation and loss that is far too come and often isolating. This conversation brings a depth and a lightness to these topics that are sacred and I am so grateful you get to tune in. Resources: Where you can find Alexandra : https://www.alexandrapellatt.com/Instagram: @alexandra.pellatthttps://www.instagram.com/alexandra.pellatt/Aviva Romm - Empowered Miscarriage at Home https://open.spotify.com/episode/6qqGRI5KTk1YPJ3N0DNdsXPacific Rim College -Holistic Doula https://www.pacificrimcollege.com/faculties-programs/program/holistic-doula-certificate/Spirit Babies Book -https://www.amazon.com/Spirit-Babies-Communicate-Child-Youre-ebook/dp/B001O1O7HQMackenzie's offerings: https://snipfeed.co/hunnywombIG: @mamapsychedeliahttps://www.instagram.com/mamapsychedelia/@hunnywombdoulahttps://www.instagram.com/hunnywombdoula/Intro Music "Waters of the Earth" by Satori covered by me, Mackenzie.(For more of her music, check out her Spotify) https://open.spotify.com/artist/6wf55RQ8QUEzAA2SeXDWSh?si=H-tnVLtzR2OoHnLU1ztOpw

In this episode of The Mama Psychedelia Podcast, I chat with Nikki Cosmic, a wise + wild woman, creatrix, dream weaver and loving Mama to 7 beautiful children, 3 of which she birthed herself.  Building a life filled with pleasure in the lush mountains of Costa Rica with her blended family of 10. Ancestral nourishment, Shamanic Parenting, Human Design + Family Constellations, Entheogenic medicine, Herbalism, and laughter encompass most of what she loves to offer to this world. Together we talk about her move to Costa Rica from to US, how she met her now beloved partner in an Ayahuasca ceremony, their families converged into one, along with his ex partner and baby mama of 4 kids, (Nikki's bestfriend & now "sister wife") and how beautifully it all works. Plant medicines and the growth they have assisted with in her life as a women and parent. She talks about how she came to conscious parenting practices, re-parenting herself and paved a new way for her children, as well as how she found healing, forgiveness, and joy through psychedelic exploration since her youth. We discuss sacred sexuality, healthy practices for staying sane and well as a mama, and he also shares with us some of her own conception & birth stories. All the divine synchronicities that have led her to where she is now, her connection to ancestral nourishment and of course how microdosing with mushrooms has brought a deep presence and playfulness to the relationship she fosters with life and her children.

In this episode of The Mama Psychedelia Podcast, I interview jungle mama, Estonia Elizabeth. A Kenyan woman who has made home here in Costa Rica over the past 4.5 years. In our conversation today we dive into Estonia's upbringing between Kenya and Texas, stepping into a role of nurturing from a young age, as well as her journey of moving to the Central America solo with her backpack & hula hoop. She shares with us her experiences with intuitive led pregnancy, how she protected her energy from the outside world's unsolicited birth advice, and how she allowed her inner knowing to lead the way. The stories of her empowering home free births of her two suns, supported by sisters and her lover, how she traversed the altered states of natural birthing, the highest high of the human experience. Tapping into womb wisdom and her path forward of guiding women on their own journeys of sovereign motherhood. After these raw & primal births, Estonia continues to wild mother through use of psychedelic medicines, somatic movement therapy, inner child healing work and more! In Costa Rica, she microdoses frequently to aid in her rebalancing & regenerating process during post partum. Through her 6 year relationship with mushrooms, now she's opened Mushroom ceremony spaces for people to dive into the medicine. She highlights that the use of psylocilibin in Postpartum depression is truly a pivotal tool to spark reconnection to self after birth. Staying connected to our joy is how we make it through the more difficult transitions in life, no matter how they look. Even with beautiful births, we can all benefit in many ways from the added psychological & chemical support to balance the wild hormonal experience with birth. She hosts jungle retreats featuring plant medicine & wild nature immersion that guide us back into remembering our most primal self. Additionally, she offers womb healing sessions & motherhood support sessions.Resources: Where you can find Estonia: Estonia ElizabethIG: @junglemoonmama https://www.instagram.com/junglemoonmama/https://linktr.ee/junglemoonmamaMackenzie's offerings: https://snipfeed.co/hunnywombIG: @mamapsychedeliahttps://www.instagram.com/mamapsychedelia/@hunnywombdoulahttps://www.instagram.com/hunnywombdoula/Intro Music "Waters of the Earth" by Satori covered by me, Mackenzie.(For more of her music, check out her Spotify) https://open.spotify.com/artist/6wf55RQ8QUEzAA2SeXDWSh?si=H-tnVLtzR2OoHnLU1ztOpw

In this episode of The Mama Psychedelia Podcast, I have the pleasure of speaking to a woman that has really been a major catalyst on my own healing journey, Luna Itzell. An ayahuascara of 20 years, a truly sensational vocal talent accompanied by her husband Helder in all their musical endeavours, and a mother of a 19 year old daughter. Luna has one of the brightest hearts I've come to know in this life, her service in ceremony is remarkable, the weaving of her song medicine with the sacred medicine of the Amazon Ayahuasca, the divine healing space that she creates for us all to remember who we truly are. Luna tells us about her journey of coming to plant medicine in her early 30s to heal from her own fertility journey and mental, physical, emotional disturbances. How that journey led her to motherhood and medicine work as a life path. She shares pieces here and there on several sacred medicines of the earth and their spirits, living a ceremonial life in reverence of creator, and how this has served her in her 19 years of mothering. What she shares here is truly a blessing to anyone entering parenthood or needing a reminder amongst the challenging times. She tells us about her father's influence in entering medicine ceremony for the first time, some of his own journey as a young man in Oaxaca, Mexico, as well as her thoughts on mother's sitting in ceremony throughout their pregnancies. This is one you don't want to miss you, Gracias Luna por todo. For walking me back home in some of the most transformational vulnerable moments in my adult life, and for reminding me that “everything is okay.” After all we are all guided here, thank you for sharing your soul's wisdom. Resources: Where you can find Luna: FB: https://www.facebook.com/lunaitzellIG: https://www.instagram.com/luna.itzell/Spotify: her music https://open.spotify.com/album/5ecInGR7qC4P6nEh46iA1K?si=40Iwe32cREaaU795n7f8zghttps://open.spotify.com/track/2pSqwgeGsviyTrtGNGj3LW?si=kf9FjlM5S0WsxhrlwdWwTwWhatsApp: +52 624 191 9246Mackenzie's Offerings:  https://snipfeed.co/hunnywombIG: @mamapsychedeliahttps://www.instagram.com/mamapsychedelia/@hunnywombdoulahttps://www.instagram.com/hunnywombdoula/Intro Music "Waters of the Earth" by Satori covered by me, Mackenzie.(For more of her music, check out her Spotify) https://open.spotify.com/artist/6wf55RQ8QUEzAA2SeXDWSh?si=H-tnVLtzR2OoHnLU1ztOpw

In this episode of The Mama Psychedelia Podcast, with Siân Marie Pilkington, we take a journey through her matriarchal life. As a woman who walks women through sacred rites of passages and altered states of consciousness, from menarche to birth, miscarriage to menopause, she embodies the radical elements of the wise woman way.  A woman of wordcraft, mother of four daughters, deep rooted energy worker, green witch, long term birth companion and retreat facilitator, she is a spiritual midwife. She tends to the divinity of family led birth, serving mamas resisting the modern disturbance of the mysteries, perpetuating healing to humanity from the root, when life begins. Together we discuss spirit baby communication and the etheric gifts of children, Siân's Celtic roots and being raised up in a familial village in England, the enchantment of the ancient ways, reclaiming radical birth and traditional birth keeping and so so much more. Intro Music "Waters of the Earth" by Satori covered by me, Mackenzie.Resources:  Where you can find Siân's offerings:https://www.motherbecoming.com/IG: @mother.becoming        @sacredpregnancycalgary        @theenchantresswellhttps://thematrona.com/ -Whapio (Our Elder Midwifery Teacher) https://www.patreon.com/genakirbyhttps://birthful.com/podcastrebozo/ -Gena Kirbyhttps://motherwit.ca/motherwit-doula-training -Lesley Everest https://jillcolpitts.com/ -Jill Colpitts Mackenzie's offerings: https://snipfeed.co/hunnywombIG: @mamapsychedelia       @hunnywombdoula 

Philip Yancey grew up confused by the contradictions: “We heard about love and grace, but I didn't experience much,” he says. Throughout his fifty year writing career, this is the book he has contemplated all along: “I truly believe this is the one book I was put on earth to write.” Today Philip joins the Better Samaritan podcast to discuss his new memoir, Where the Light Fell. He reveals what has happened between his mother & brother since writing his memoir, compares the response to the polio with the response to the COVID-19 vaccine, and talks about recovering from a toxic church.  Plus, exclusive for Better Samaritan listeners: enjoy 5 ½ hours of Philip's favorite writing music on our Spotify playlist.  RESOURCES: Where the Light Fell: A Memoir (available now) "On Being a Good Neighbor", sermon draft by the Rev.

In this episode, we continue our conversation about mental health and what we can learn from the Simone Biles situation. In Episode 028, we focused on those who are currently facing a mental health struggle of some kind. In this episode, we focus on those who are walking with someone or know someone who is struggling. How should we respond to them? We share a real-time story from one of our listeners who is being real, taking risks, and doing whatever it takes for them to get healthy, and God is doing some amazing things in and through them. "My depression may not ever be taken away, but God is giving me victory in it." According to Johns Hopkins University, about 26% of American adults suffer from a diagnosable mental health illness. So one out of every four people you interact with is dealing with a mental health illness of some kind. So, how should we respond to those who are battling it? 1. Respect how they feel 2. Give them room to heal 3. Return to them with your presence Resources: Where is God when it hurts? by Philip Yancey www.bethe1to.com (Suicide Prevention)
