Mae Podesta
Mae is a licensed psilocybin facilitator and certified executive and transitional intelligence coach who helps people navigate threshold moments with a blend of groundedness and wonder. She works with individuals seeking deeper meaning and authenticity in their lives, as well as those in transition – whether stepping away from careers that no longer fit, reimagining life’s purpose at midlife, or breaking through patterns or beliefs that have long obscured their authentic selves.
Mae knows what it feels like to be stuck, ready for change, and in search of meaning. After two decades in corporate and startup environments, she found herself burned out and disconnected from herself. Change wasn’t linear – she rediscovered psilocybin and embarked on a spiritual journey that continues to reshape her life today. These experiences taught her that true transformation is not a single breakthrough, but the courageous, ongoing work to weave insights into everyday life.
In her practice, Mae brings a deep reverence for the medicine and a trust in its intelligence to meet people where they are. She creates containers where people feel safe, supported, and truly seen—spaces that honor both the rigor of the work and the mystery of what unfolds. Her approach weaves together intentional preparation, journey work, and the sustained support needed to integrate insights into daily life and relationships.
Mae has a particular understanding of people who’ve spent years achieving, optimizing, and performing—and who’ve arrived at the quiet question of whether there’s something more. She gets the tension between wanting change and not knowing how to step off the treadmill. Her work is for those ready to move beyond surface fixes and into the deeper territory of remembering who they are beneath all the doing.
Outside of work, Mae is an avid hobby explorer who finds joy and meaning in nature, learning new things (currently trapeze), and volunteering with animal rescues. She believes that play, creativity, and connection as essential ingredients to a life fully lived.
