In this most loved episode, Emily sits down with her mentor Anna Lundqvist, the Spiritual Midwich behind Sacred Birth International, to invite first-time mothers into a deeper remembrance of natural birth. Together, they unravel myths, explore Herstory, and illuminate how reclaiming physiological birth transforms both women and the world.
Beginning around the 22-minute mark, Emily and Anna discuss:
Herstory and the origins of birth’s medicalization
The truth about mortality rates and cesarean sections
How healthy stress benefits your baby during labor
The role of biomechanics and fetal positioning
Reprogramming your subconscious mind for birth
The lasting impact of birth imprints
Why peace on Earth truly begins at birth
They also explore purposeful pain—how to understand and cope with the intensity of labor—as well as the roots of postpartum depression and how to prevent it through nourishment, community, and support.
The conversation closes with a powerful reflection on choosing a birth team capable of holding sacred space—because the energy of your attendants deeply shapes your birth experience.
This episode is a must-listen for first-time mothers longing to trust their bodies, honor their lineage, and reclaim birth as a sacred rite of passage.
