Hi babes! In this beautiful and deeply personal episode, I sit down with Fertility Doula + Spirit Baby Channel Carla Maldonado for an honest conversation about motherhood, healing, and reconnecting with your feminine power. Carla opens up about her postpartum experience after the birth of her son, navigating physical challenges like mastitis, the emotional toll of feeling unsupported, and the unexpected identity shift that many women face after becoming mothers. She shares how this difficult time became the catalyst for a profound self-love journey that eventually transformed her marriage, her relationship with herself, and her purpose. We talk about what shifted for her between her first and second pregnancies, including how energy healing, Akashic Records, and subconscious work supported her in conceiving her daughter Cleo. She walks us through how energetic blocks (like fears around breastfeeding or trauma from past birth experiences) can subtly prevent conception—and how clearing them can create space for your spirit baby to come through. Carla also shares what it's like parenting as a Projector with a Manifestor son and Reflector daughter, the importance of teaching children to listen to themselves, and how Human Design helps her nurture her kids' individuality and confidence. We even get into how she energetically supports her son Tiago with nightly energy healing—and the sweet way he asks for it! We wrap up by diving into Carla's signature 12-week group program The Conception Vortex, which helps women heal, reconnect with their bodies, communicate with their spirit babies, and manifest conscious conception from a place of deep alignment, joy, and trust. Whether you're a mom, soon-to-be mom, or healing your own feminine relationship—this episode will make you feel held, inspired, and reconnected to your power. connect with Carla on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/iamcarlamaldonado/ work with Carla: https://stan.store/iamcarlamaldonado xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx connect with me: https://www.instagram.com/iamellisamae/ Work with me: https://stan.store/byellisamccoy
