Episode 28: Ego Deaths & Sacred Surrender

In this week’s episode of the Mushroom Mamasita Podcast, I sit down with Katherine Smailis—mystic, therapist, world traveler, and cosmic truth-seeker—for a wildly expansive conversation that weaves together medicine journeys, sacred sexuality, emotional intelligence, and the deep call to live in alignment with soul.Kat shares her evolution from working in the Western medical system to answering the call of the mushrooms, teaching sacred sexuality in ancient Egyptian temples, and walking the path of global pilgrimage and remembrance. We explore themes like ego death, reclaiming feminine power, living outside the box, and the mystical intersections of science, spirit, and embodied truth.If you’ve ever questioned the systems you were raised in, longed to feel more connected to Source, or wondered what happens when you surrender to your soul’s mission—this episode is for you. Warning: you may leave forever changed.Every episode I will share a book that I feel supports the message or theme of each show. Kat suggested I share 2150 AD by Thea AlexanderListener discretion is advised: This podcast discusses sensitive topics related to trauma, abuse, addiction and psychedelic therapy, which may be sensitive or triggering for some listeners.  I encourage listeners to engage mindfully and take care of themselves throughout the conversation.Connect with Bijou FinneyIG:⁠ ⁠@mushroommamasita⁠⁠Website:⁠ ⁠mushroommamasita.comConnect with Kat: IG: @kat_integrativetherapist
