What if birth is the most psychedelic experience there is?
In this episode, I share my unfiltered natural homebirth story — The Spiritual Surrender Experiment.
This was more than birth; it was an initiation into trust, embodiment, and divine surrender. I’ll walk you through how I prepared, what unfolded, and the sacred lessons that reshaped my understanding of love and power.
💫 In this episode:
• Conscious preparation for a natural homebirth
• The moment of complete surrender
• Birth as a mystical, embodied rite
