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.

23. Ovulation is a Super Power -Chloe Skerlak
This episode of The Mama Psychedelia Podcast is with Chloe Skerlak, a Justisse Holistic Reproductive Health Practitioner and Certified Full Spectrum Fertility Awareness Educator. This episode goes beyond personal story telling, and is deeply educational for menstruating folks and those who wish to better under our cyclical nature and the power that it holds.
Infused with joy, laughter, and play, Chloe teaches fertility awareness education to women and people with cycles so they may regain their sexual and reproductive sovereignty, become advocates for their own health, and live vibrant, healthy lives. She is also the founder of the Cervix Portrait Party (yes - taking photos of your cervix is a thing!) and is passionate about teaching body literacy to pre-teens and teens. Chloe also loves salsa dancing, full moon bathing, and playing the ukulele.
Together we dive in to all the juicy details of the cycle. Fertility Awareness for hormonal free contraception, body literacy, as well as how it can be used for intentionally conceiving. We touch on menarche to menopause, how fertility tracking is taking your sexual health and "birth control" into your own hands. We talk about the reality of abortion laws, and emergency contraception measures, as well as the inner seasons of the cycle, how to leverage your energy and awareness when you are most vital, and how connected we are to the rhythms of the moon. I love this episode and love what Chloe stands for. Check it out.
