The Mate Chronicles Transistor (https://transistor.fm) https://feeds.transistor.fm/the-mate-chronicles For multi-hyphenate Argentinian artist, Natasha Nua, yerba mate isn’t just an energy drink, it’s a ritual. A spark of soul connection, clarity, and conscious action. Join Natasha in her debut podcast, The Mate Chronicles, where she shares this magical drink with her inspiring guests: artists, changemakers, visionaries, and the beautifully chaotic humans shaping our world. Whether you discovered yerba mate through a canor grew up passing the gourd in South America, this podcast is your portal deeper. Listeners join these conversations to explore the current times: art, AI, politics, climate change, spirituality, technology, business and what it truly means to stay conscious and inspired in chaotic times. Through honest dialogue, humor, ritual, and a bit of messiness, the show offers tools, perspectives, and grounded wisdom anyone can carry into their own life and creative journey. Because the world is wild, community is medicine, and sometimes we all just need a shared cup and a moment of inspiration to keep going. We’re all figuring it out… one sip at a time.

Welcome back to The Mate Chronicles. I'm Natasha Nua, and today I'm sitting down with Tiffany Scalia, co-founder of our sponsor Erva, to drink her cold-brewed ginger lime mate and talk about the wild road from music festival lemonade stands to building a values-driven yerba mate brand from the ground up.

This is a conversation about mate, yes, but also about building something real and sustainable: a business, a marriage, a movement. If you're an entrepreneur feeling overwhelmed, a mate lover curious about the culture or someone who just needs a reminder that people power still wins, this episode is for you.

Welcome to The Mate Chronicles. I'm Natasha Nua, Argentine-American actress, writer, producer, and mate magician. In this prologue I share why I started this podcast, where yerba mate really comes from, the sacred ritual behind it, and why this ancient plant has been my portable home across every city and identity crisis.

In this episode, I touch on the origins of yerba mate and the Guaraní people of Paraguay and Argentina, the sacred ritual of cebado: gourd, bombilla, and the cebador, The moon goddess Jasy myth and the spirit of generosity, Animism, why I feel at home nowhere and how mate grounds me, chronos, and ultimately... why I created The Mate Chronicles.

Whether you discovered yerba mate through a can or grew up doing mateadas in South America, this podcast is your portal deeper.  If you're feeling overwhelmed, uninspired, or like time is running out, this podcast will bring you back to yourself.
