The Mama Psychedelia Podcast

In this episode of The Mama Psychedelia Podcast, I interview Cynthia Ingar who is a Peruvian carrier and teacher of ancestral woman medicine and traditions. She is a medical anthropologist, Birth Guardian/Doula, Pregnancy-Postpartum Guardian, women’s health educator, and mother of two boys and a girl who were birthed at home. Cynthia is the founder and director of the Hampi Warmi Project (2008), a community-based Peruvian project bringing intercultural reproductive health to Andean women and girls by revitalizing ancestral woman medicine wisdom and practices, including Andean community midwifery. She teaches the “Wachakuy: Sacred Birth Way” Birthkeeper Program in the Andes of Peru every year in Spanish and English. The goal for this program and her work with Peruvian trained-midwives is to de-colonize midwifery in Peru. Cynthia lives with her family in the Sacred Valley, Peru. Such an inspiring journey Cynthia has been on. Enjoy this Episode.

In this episode of The Mama Psychedelia Podcast, I chat with Leslie Draffin. Leslie is a Certified Psychedelic Integration Guide, Somatic Embodiment Coach, and podcast host. She is passionate about helping people embrace their bodies, cycles, sex and psychedelics. She supports conscious souls who want to heal themselves through intentional microdosing, pleasure, womb reconnection & somatic trauma recovery. In 2022, Leslie left her 15-year career as a TV news anchor after struggling with anxiety, depression & PTSD. She credits microdosing with helping her heal and igniting her pussy-led purpose. In this conversation we explore the themes of embodiment, authentic expression, cyclical living, the archetypes of womanhood sex, rebirth and the power of plant medicines to reorient and transform our consciousness. It was an amazing chat with this powerful woman and I know that you will enjoy it!

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.

Together we explore what lead her to leading a life in Mexico with her husband and sons, what brought her to psychedelic therapy, some of her own intiations in the psychedelic space as well as her entrance into Motherhood, and some golden nuggets she has gathered as a mother and a therapist, she speaks to the specific medicines she works with in the trauma healing space and their impact.

 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.

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. Emerging out of a Cocoon. So much depth there. So many learnings. Happy to be back.*
