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.

34. Mama meets Psychedelic Therapy -Micah Stover
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.
