Birth Is an Initiation: What We’ve Lost in Modern Childbirth
from The Embodied MInd: A journey into mindset, manifestation, and magic — where belief becomes body and transformation becomes truth. · host Hali
In this episode, I share my personal experience of being cracked wide open — a moment when deep rage surfaced and reconnected me to the anger and passion I carry about my first birth. I speak honestly about the ways I felt disempowered and how that experience awakened me to what birth truly is: an initiation, a death and rebirth, and a sacred threshold that must be protected and honored.I explore why it is so important, especially now, that we recognize the power of birth and how it is being handled in our culture. I also speak to the larger forces at play — how, on a mass scale, women are being disconnected from their innate wisdom and stripped of the remembrance that we are the creators of life. This is a raw, unfiltered reflection on reclamation, truth, and the urgent need to restore birth as the powerful rite of passage it has always been.If you loved this episode and want more, I would be so stoked to connect with you!
