As Soul Evolution approaches its 100th episode, Emily remasters and re-releases one of the most loved and powerful conversations from the archives — a raw, embodied exploration of sovereignty, lineage, and physiological birth with Lindsey.
Lindsey shares her two birth stories with unfiltered honesty — her first, a hospital birth that became a “trial run” in reclaiming her voice, and her second, a fully sovereign free birth at home. Together, Emily and Lindsey trace the threads of maternal lineage, healing the mother wound, and the power of intuition as a compass for birth and beyond.
This episode is a deep remembrance of what it means to trust the body, to birth without fear, and to meet the divine feminine within the portal of labor.
