In this episode of The Mama Psychedelia Podcast I interview Kearsley Tate Schweller. Kearsley (she/her) is a private chef, postpartum practitioner, author, & educator of Kearsley’s Kitchen. For over 10 years she has devoted her study & practice to the intersection of women’s medicine & traditional foods, braiding together a love for food, herbalism, physiology, hormones, & ritual. She describes her way of life as a “slow simmer” a delicate balance between actively engaging what inspires her and savoring the simple joys of life like wandering the woods, baking sourdough, painting watercolor pomegranates, cuddling her cats, & exploring the symbolic realms through dreams, color, & earth-based ritual. Through her classes, meals, & seasonal cookbooks, Kearsley helps others deepen their relationship to nourishment in many forms. In our conversation together, we touch of the reality at hand these past several months in Appalachia through the floods from Hurricane Helene and what Kearsley's role has looked like in her community there and in supporting new families in need of resourcing. We explore what true community looks like when the going gets tough, how we can all nourish each other and each have our unique role to play in making a difference, many hands can make light work. We will be attaching a link for fundraising for new families navigating the impact of these floods, if you have the means please fund community birth care. We touch on the reality that many birth workers face in burnout, and how we would love to see more maidens elevate themselves in roles of care, for mothers in community, mothers being at the center. We have an in depth conversation on nourishment and all the ways that can look, and chat about Kearsley's amazing course which has a new cohort beginning January 15th, called Mother Mammal: Nourishing the Animal Body of a Mother, go check it out.

In this episode of The Mama Psychedelia Podcast I interview Sena Maria. Sena supports women to embrace a nourished, resilient and radiantly healthy state. She uses Mineral Nutritional Balancing to rebuild our mineral heritage and get to the root of our health issues. She believes that we are only as healthy as our cells and by supporting our bodies ability to create energy and eliminate toxins efficiently, we can return to the simple, natural joy of being alive.

Sena’s degree in Psychology, career at Google and her subsequent studies of yoga, energy healing, shamanism, plant medicine, tools for building emotional capacity and integration, and Mineral Nutritional Balancing have led her to sit with many questions about what humanity may need at this time to heal from trauma + toxins, strengthen our families and create mineral-rich generations to come. She offers a woman-centric approach to healing with Hair Tissue Mineral Analysis utilizing it as a tool for deepening connection with one's self.

In our conversation together, we speak about replenishing mineral stores and the impact this simple act can have on our overall well-being. How our stress levels, our sleep, our organ health, our energy, and so much more can be a direct reflection of our body's mineral imbalances and how we can restore our systems by rebalancing. We touch on the impact of Plant Medicine work and how it can impact our hormones and mineral stores. We speak about the benefits of Mineral Balancing Nutrition in the pre-conception time and also in the postpartum time, and how vital it is. How entering pregnancy and parenthood mineral-y deficient can impact our longevity long term and how our babies pull from our mineral make up to ensure they receive what they need to grow and thrive, often leaving us deeply depleted if we are not in a vibrantly nourished place. Sena speaks to the power of her own findings in retracing through mineral balance, and her work with clients in Hair Tissue Mineral Analysis (HTMA). Sena shares more of her personal journey with this work, and the chapter of life she is in now as a women in her mid 30’s.

In the beginning of this Episode I share more about my online program Fertile Souls *launching November 11th, 2024* this is a 9 month holistic container for folks in their Preconception window and Early Pregnancy.

So 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!

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.

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.
