In this deeply personal episode of Soul Evolution, Emily Frost shares the unraveling and rebirth that followed her first pregnancy, birth, and postpartum season. What began as a conscious conception journey quickly revealed the layers of trauma, unmet needs, and ancestral patterns waiting to be seen and healed.
Emily vulnerably recounts how birth opened the floodgates—bringing grief, rage, fear, and eventually clarity. From losing her identity to reclaiming her nervous system, from early motherhood overwhelm to rediscovering the voice of her intuition, this is a story of rupture and repair told in real time.
Together, we name what so many mothers feel but often cannot say: the invisible cost of being unsupported, the quiet initiations of the postpartum portal, and the path toward becoming the mother you needed.
This is an invitation to meet the parts of yourself that emerge after birth. To trust the voice that rises from within. And to remember that your wholeness doesn’t require performance—it requires presence.
Emily Frost is a mother of two daughters, whose journey through pregnancy, loss, and three back-to-back pregnancies, led her to a dream homebirth that became both a threshold and a homecoming.
She holds birth as a sober psychedelic rite of passage — an unraveling and reweaving that continues to shape how she mothers, creates, and lives. Rooted on a small homestead in the Maine woods, her family rhythms are guided by nature, seasons, and the slow magic of the everyday.
Through her work as a photographer and founder of The Heartspace, she has spent the past decade witnessing women in their becoming — now inviting them home to the land, to play, rest, and be tenderly documented in their metamorphosis.
