A Beautiful Homebirth After Loss & Fertility Challenges | Blake's Story

Blake Romney (@conscious_kiddos) is back for the second time! She shares the beautiful story of her homebirth with her baby boy Azlan, after a devastating loss at 17 weeks and a long preconception journey. We discuss how labor is very similar to plant medicine journeys and how Blake was able to practice safety within her body years prior to birth, to fully surrender to the experience and sensations of birth. We also talk about the challenges and expansion of life after loss and the choice point of choosing greater Trust (soul) instead of greater Fear (ego). 

Blake's first podcast episode from last year is: "Fertility Challenges as the Catalyst for Expansion & Alignment"

The Body Guides Us To "Wake Up" (Becoming Conscious)

One way we "wake up" is through body pain, anxiety, depression, infertility, miscarriage, disease, etc. The body tantrums very loudly to get our attention, to get us to change our life. (Some people wake up from loss, grief, or a major, shocking life change). Through months or years, we slowly wake up in other ways too....like witnessing our minds addiction to victimhood.... then we witness our "masculine shield" that tries to protect us from pain and hurt. We are guided to learning how to cultivate inner safety within us, learning how to Mother to ourselves and be with our "shadow." Ultimately, the epicenter of the consciousness journey is: THE BODY!

Molly (@molly___flint), a mother and pediatric nurse, shares her deeply insightful personal journey through miscarriages and her drive to achieve a homebirth with her first baby, through masculine knowledge and evidence, without the balance of feminine intuition and inner knowing. We highlight the interplay between ego and logic and how birth is meant to teach us something we do not know, especially when we believe we "know everything" about birth.

The Mind Can Use Prayer for Control & Complacency

The ego mind can use ANYTHING for it's own control. God can be used for good or evil. Prayer can be used for surrender OR control. In this episode I talk about the many thoughts I have about prayer: why it's so important, but also how we have to be honest with ourselves and be aware of our ego mind.
