The Radical Mother Village Podcast with Christa Bevan
A Radical Mother is a woman poised in her power ready to disrupt cycles of generational trauma that runs in her family like wildfire.
Dedicated to transcending these cycles of trauma to change our lives, the lives of our children, and the landscape of our communities, radical mothers get out of bed each morning prepared to take on the work no one before us has done.
We refuse to hand down our inherited traumas, choosing instead to metabolize its poison and transcend its grasp.
This podcast is designed to support, empower, and educate you on your journey of mothering radically.
Whether you’re a veteran mother with grown children, a new mama with young little ones, or maybe even just thinking about becoming a mother in the future, my goal is for you to feel supported along the way.
In this podcast, we’ll cover topics ranging from the science of stress responses to reconnecting with your intuition to strategies for dealing with anxiety and overwhelm and hear inspiring stories of other radical mothers who have done this work before.
I’m your host Christa Bevan and I’m a nervous system wellness educator for cycle breaker moms as well as a certified TRE (trauma releasing exercises) provider, and a trauma-informed yoga instructor. And of course, a fellow Radical Mother.
My approach to this work blends neuroscience backed tools and heart-centered intuition.
So if a radical mother is you also, you’re in the right place. I’m so excited you’re here and I can’t wait to get started with you because I truly believe that when mothers heal, the world heals.

EP48 Be Kind to Your Mind: The Power of Healing Touch & The Havening Technique with Hilary Russo
The Radical Mother Village with Christa Bevan
12/22/21 • 49 min
In this episode, I'm chatting with Hilary Russo, The HIListically Speaking® Health Coach. She's a Certified Integrative Nutrition Holistic Health Coach and one of only 150 Certified Havening Techniques® Practitioners in the US and 500 in the world. Havening is a psycho-sensory, neuroscience-based approach that can rapidly change the landscape of the brain and remove emotional blocks to live resiliently and “be kind to your mind”.
In this episode you'll learn:
- How the process of Havening can help you alter the landscape of traumas you may be reliving in your life.
- The basic mechanics of the Havening process and how it helps to release feel-good hormones like oxytocin while putting your brain into a delta wave state.
- How Havening can help you process past traumas as well as current daily stressors
- Why Havening is a great choice for yourself and for your kids.
- How to embrace the message in your mess, even if you have trouble seeing it while you’re in the middle of it.
- How doing the work of self-healing ripples out to affect the entire world around you.
- How offering yourself “brain candy” is the sweetest way to be “kind to your mind”

EP42 Embodying the Messy Middle of Motherhood with Kate Leiper
The Radical Mother Village with Christa Bevan
11/03/21 • 47 min
Today I'm chatting with Kate Leiper, a therapist and the founder of The Diamond Women Project. Kate’s body of work is anchored in actively exploring feminine depth, self-intimacy, and devotion, catalyzed by motherhood and sustained by embodied experiences of returning home to self, earth, and spirit.
In this episode we discuss:
- How motherhood continually cracks Kate wide open with rupture and repair of her identity
- How motherhood is a continual process of existing in the “messy middle” and how that leads to our evolution and growth
- How embodiment practices can be a “life raft” to lean into the messy middle
- How trauma and grief “hold hands” but aren’t the same and how we lack cultural rituals to honor the importance of grief in our lives
- How grief is about SO much more complex, nuanced, and applicable to situations outside of the death of a loved one
- Kate shares the vulnerable story of her sister's brain tumor diagnosis and passing
- How dissociation from our bodies can sometimes be essential for survival
- How we can anchor ourselves in the mundane tasks of motherhood
- The tendency we have as mothers of making meaning of every moment and how that pulls us out of the present moment.

EP14 Healing Ancestral Trauma: A Conversation with Generational Healer Jen Wende
The Radical Mother Village with Christa Bevan
04/08/21 • 46 min
In today’s episode...
I’m chatting with Jen Wende, an energy coach, generational healer®, and yoga therapist. Described as powerful and playful, Jen makes healing your and your ancestral emotional baggage lighter and easier so you can show up for yourself, your family, and community in the impactful way you desire. Jen and I discuss:
- Why it’s better for both our children and ourselves when we can get out of our “own spin” and witness their pure consciousness.
- Why Jen goes back as far as 13 or 14 generations to work with ancestors of the past to heal wounds of the present.
- Who the ancestors that Jen works with are.
- How to know if your trauma is yours, or your ancestors.
- Knowing when it’s time for ancestral healing in your life and what it can help you release from your life.
- Why our trauma healing is incomplete if it only addresses the physical body.
- How ancestor trauma creates changes to our energy inheritance similar to the way epigenetic changes alter our DNA and gene expressions.
- Ancestral healing for people may have been adopted or otherwise have no connection to their bloodline relatives.
- How the need for belonging, connection, and validation never go away – even after death.
- Connecting with your ancestors on your own and how to practice listening to your intuition.
- The surprising way I’ve been asking my ancestors for help with my son and how there’s a bigger village of support able to help us out than we sometimes realize.

EP38 The Perfectionism Trap, Adrenal Fatigue & Listening to the Wisdom of the Body with Kerry Magnus
The Radical Mother Village with Christa Bevan
09/29/21 • 53 min
Today I'm chatting with Kerry Magnus, a Holistic Psychologist, and BodyTalk practitioner. She supports women who are deeply called to make an impact in the world to embrace their purpose without burning out. Through her own journey of Adrenal Fatigue Syndrome Kerry discovered that there was a gift in the fatigue as her body communicated that something needed to change.
In this episode we discuss:
- How perfectionism was hampering Kerry’s ability to show up in motherhood the way she envisioned and how it led her to severe burnout
- The uncomfortable reality of dreading time with your child when you are trying to parent through a fog of exhaustion
- Postnatal depletion and the huge impact it has on a mother’s quality of life
- Living with the crushing weight of adrenal fatigue symptoms (and what they are)
- The roots of not feeling like enough and not feeling safe to be in our emotions based on how our parents responded to us as children
- The 5-step process Kerry used to help herself get out of being in adrenal fatigue
- The value of restorative and nourishing practices like yoga nidra, grounding, and shaking
- Tapping into both divine masculine energy for structure and safety in our lives as well as divine feminine energy for life force
- The Body Talk process and how it can support tapping into the body’s innate wisdom for creating wellness
