The Mama Psychedelia Podcast
Mama Psychedelia is a platform to de-stigmatize the psychedelic nature of Parenthood. We celebrate stories of the role of ceremony, entheogenic allies, and the intuitive realms in every state of the parenting journey from pre-conception, postpartum, familial rites of healing and reconciliation, birth, death, and beyond. In each episode of the Mama Psychedelia podcast, we will explore and witness lived experiences of mothers, healers, birth keepers, and ceremonial facilitators. And in the process, open the space for the expansive transformation that these ways can bring in to any human life.This platform is a home for education, de-stigmatization, and enrichment through conversations that center intuition, ancestral guidance, and medicines of the earth. This is not a space to persuade, prescribe or preach.This is, however, a space for radicalism, sovereignty, and enlightening, thought-provoking discussion. One for storytelling, breaking taboos and to share personal truths that shed light on the magic & healing that can come through the childbearing continuum. My invitation while you listen to these stories is that you allow yourself to access your deepest inner knowing, and that you open yourself to connection with the ancestors that walked before us, and to collaborate with them in all you chose to do. My wish is you can recognize the unshakeable truth that exists within you. Please do what you wish with the insight I trust you will receive in every episode of Mama Psychedelia. We are not licensed medical or mental health professionals — nothing said here is medical advice. We don’t promote or advocate for the use of illegal substances; we simply wish to hold space for education, harm reduction, and medicine work that have long histories of use in cultures worldwide.

8. Honey for my Heart -Luna Itzell
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.
