In this deeply expansive and heart-opening episode of Breathe, Laugh, Parent — The Shine Om Podcast, Rachel sits down with Angela Louise Tonkin, creatress of Birthing in the Feminine Way and founder of The Heart of Living.
Angela is a women’s mentor, channel, feminine leadership guide, and “doula of creation” who supports mothers and mothers-to-be to birth new identities, new versions of themselves, new projects, and new life pathways—all from the heart and through the feminine.
Across this powerful conversation, Angela shares:
✨ What it truly means to “birth in the feminine way”How pregnancy, birth, creativity, and identity evolution are all guided by the same cyclical energetics of birth → death → rebirth.
✨ The difference between feminine and masculine energeticsHow so many women are unknowingly living from an overdeveloped, protective masculine that keeps them in control, burnout, perfectionism, and suffering.
✨ Her personal birth story and spiritual awakeningIncluding the profound moment during labour where she witnessed her own patterns, ego, and conditioning—and how that revelation formed the foundations of her program.
✨ How our own birth imprints shape our adulthoodAnd how patterns we don’t even know we’re carrying can show up in motherhood, relationships, business, and identity.
✨ The identity work at the core of her programWho we become determines what we create.
Angela breaks down how to birth the version of yourself you actually desire—mother, woman, creator, leader.
✨ Why suffering in motherhood is not inevitable
And how women can consciously reshape their experience by meeting their needs, softening into their feminine, releasing perfectionism, and working with the energetics of flow.
✨ The power of sisterhood and the feminine collectiveAngela speaks to the depth, safety, and transformation that happen when women are witnessed, held, and supported by other women.
✨ Real transformations from her clientsIncluding women moving out of depression and anxiety, healing long-held wounds, expanding their capacity as mothers, and birthing businesses, babies, and completely new life paths.
✨ Living life with intention, intuition, and trustThis episode is a beautiful invitation to step out of force and into flow… to live from your heart… to trust the timing of your life… and to remember your own power to create and birth what you desire.
