We're very excited to welcome onto the show, the Sexy Biz Babe herself, Ms. Tian Lynn. She joins the ranks of fellow Mindbenders as someone who has made it her life to explore the non-ordinary states of consciousness encountered when our sexual energy and desires are awakened and engaged.
A TED speaker and sex and intimacy coach, Tia shares her journey and expertise. She discusses the deep-seated issues of sexual shame and the liberating power of embracing one's sexuality, which she believes enhances personal confidence and life satisfaction.
Drawing parallels between psychedelic experiences and sexual awakening, Tia explores how both realms can significantly influence mental health and personal growth.
Her approach to coaching involves helping individuals break free from societal and self-imposed stigmas to lead more fulfilled lives, underscoring the transformative power of understanding and accepting one's sexual identity and desires.

I'll lead this introduction to our episode with Jason Estes with this quote from an article published in New York Weekly:
"At the heart of Jason’s teachings is the concept of Self-Mastery—a journey that requires authenticity, integrity, and ownership of responsibility. MTVO’s mission revolves around cultivating this mastery, empowering individuals to navigate life’s challenges with grace and clarity."
Masters of the Void is an organization Jason founded, along with Void Space Technologies. And to understand what they're all about, you'd honestly need to sit down and let Jason fill you in. (letting myself off the hook in 300 words) We don't get too deeply into exactly what the organizations are about, but by the time you're finished listening to this interview, you may have a sense for the heart and mind behind both. At least, that is my hope.
I met Jason while volunteering at an event in DTLA, high atop a magnificent rooftop terraced garden and gathering space. It was a wellness event, and I was responsible for helping guests explore what is called the "Quantum Energy Wellness Bed." Check out Void Space Technologies and learn more about that, but it's mastermind was Jason, and I enjoyed connecting with him quickly, taking in his passion for all matters of the spirit, the energy spirit is made of, and the field containing it all.
"Quantum" wasn't a term I'd much familiarity with before meeting Jason, loose allusions came to mind but our conversation helped bring my understanding into clearer focus. I think it's a pretty mindbending thought, this life, our perception of life, and strategically, how to feel either horrific or ecstatic while experiencing it.

Gina Joseph is a sensualist, intimacy guide and yoga teacher based in Miami, Florida. Her goal is to facilitate profound sensory experiences for individuals seeking to embrace their physical senses without the burden of shame, guilt, or societal stigmas associated with pleasure.
This, from Gina's website (ginajoseph.me)
In our evolving world, sexuality has expanded its presence yet become entangled in commercialization and excessive stimulation. While discussions around sex have become more open, a tapestry of ideals and taboos still shrouds the sensual realm, calling for deeper healing and heightened vulnerability.
Within my sessions lies a sacred sanctuary, a haven where vulnerability is not just welcomed but celebrated—a space to tenderly acknowledge and address any emotional scars or traumas transcending mere physicality. Here, we embark on a journey to explore and embrace every facet of the self, to unearth new avenues of soulful stimulation and tend to our sensuality with the utmost care, preparing to grace future connections with beauty and nourishment unparalleled. We have our senses to work with in our waking lives. When we discuss psychedelic things, we are aware of the mind's capacity to manifest our experience of reality. An undeniable component of a human's reality, are the sensual, and further, the erotic energies. How can a more skillful relationship to these energies make for healthier, happier living?

Dr. Stephanie Michael Stewart is a holistic psychiatrist who brings a spiritual, environmental, and social justice perspective to her work. We met at a gathering in LA, and I knew I wanted to have her on the show to talk about her experience and insights into the challenges faced as we negotiated the psychedelic wellness space, with specific regard to the consideration of race when evaluating the efficacy and equity of the rapidly materializing care landscape.
After serving as Chief Resident of Psychiatry at Cedars-Sinai Medical Center, Dr. Stewart led LA County’s West Central Wellness Center where she developed innovative programs for communities of color that integrated evidence-based psychiatric treatments with complementary therapies. She then founded Worldwide Wellness, where she expanded her approach to incorporate travel, immersion in nature, Indigenous wisdom and, more recently, ketamine-assisted therapy. Dr. Stewart is currently developing a psychedelic-assisted therapy training program for psychiatric residents at historically black colleges and universities. Dr. Stewart holds a BS in Biology from Spelman College and an MD from Morehouse School of Medicine. She is a psychedelic advisor to multiple organizations in the US and Canada and is a member of Chacruna’s Racial Equity and Access Committee. She is of Black, White, and Native American descent.

Birth is a trip! A few years back I interviewed a psychotherapist working with ketamine assisted psychotherapy who had written on the psychedelic nature of childbirth, the parallels drawn between that ceremony, and plan medicine ceremonies that she had participated in.
Some of the key figures on the frontline of birth and birthing in the US are doulas and midwives. They hold space and share knowledge leading up to, during, and after the birth experience and have a special bond with the mother. They know first hand how the perception of time changes in that very powerful process.
Haize Hawke came onto the show to discuss this work and dive deeper into the psychedelic nature of childbirth. This, taken from her website:
I am a Mother, Doula, Student Midwife, Meditation Teacher, Healer, Long- Distance Birth Coach, a Life Coach, and a Spiritual Counselor residing in Los Angeles, CA. My Doula training began with ACHI and completed with ALACE. I focus on creating the family unit in a way that allows for the most support and relaxation in birth. I also focus on Nutrition, and lifestyle during pregnancy, birth, and delivery. Pregnancy is a spiritual, emotional, mental, and physical journey. The sessions I hold provide the mother with a safe place where she can ask questions, speak freely, and become empowered and supported. In private sessions, I offer birth related issues, including preconception planning your pregnancy, fear and labor, birth trauma (yours or your mother’s) miscarriages, stillbirths, or abortions and postpartum concerns. Phone and Skype sessions are available for those not able to meet in person for a fee. Lastly, I am the facilitator of Sister2Sister/Brother2Brother Coming of Age Spirituals and Rites of Passages Ceremonies. This is a celebration and support for a young girls and boys as well as women and men, evolving into adulthood. This is a wonderful opportunity for all to be taught the responsibilities and gain the support of embracing this new journey to come.

The idea of being hypnotized has always fascinated me. What's actually taking place when one is under hypnosis? Where does your mind...go? And can modalities like past life regression hypnotherapy really help a person, much less be scientific proof for the phenomenon of reincarnation and therefore indicate definitively that there is indeed, life after death?
Bringing Cheyenne onto the show made sense, as a certified hypnotherapist is engaged on the daily with reaching people at, and taking people into, a state of "non-ordinary consciousness." Her work has many practical applications, such as smoking cessation and ultimately healing from past traumas. But as a seeker, she too is willing to look at the mystery with confidence and embrace the unknown in a spirit of integration.
This, from Cheyenne's website: allismindhypnotherapy.com:
The rewarding road to aiding others is a long-established tradition for Cheyenne. She has always known that her passion for science, spirituality and neurological development would be key components for her professional path. Setting her sights on these uncompromisable variables inevitably led her to the Hypnosis Motivation Institute of Tarzana, California, where she studied neuro-linguistic programming and countless techniques within the Kappasinian model for clinical hypnotherapy.
Cheyenne has found her calling within hypnotherapy as it provides opportunities for her to share the deeply impassioned training in the arts of mental alchemy. This is where she works to train others to hold the reins to their personal desires and steer forward and beyond.
