What this episode covers
"We can’t be so outcome driven that we are missing the point that she will remember this birth for the rest of her life" - Erica Paulson In this conversation, Emily sits down with doula Erica Paulson to explore the intelligence of birth and the consciousness of babies. Together, they dive into the emerging understanding of birth memory, prenatal bonding, and the truth that babies are sentient beings who feel, sense, and remember their journey into the world. Erica shares her wisdom on somatic awareness in birth, how the body guides labor, how emotions surface as part of the physiological process, and why embodiment is a key skill for anyone supporting birth. She and Emily explore the sacred role of doulas as protectors, and advocates for informed consent and respectful care. The conversation also expands into the spiritual path of motherhood, the energetics of the mother-baby bond, and how to create truly nurturing spaces for pregnancy, labor, and postpartum healing.
