In this raw and deeply personal episode, I sit down with Emma Shakti—yoga teacher, mother, and radiant force in the Blue Mountains, NSW community (Dharug and Gundungurra Country). Emma shares the full arc of her motherhood journey: from our work together in the early days when she felt called to bring another baby into her life but wasn't quite ready to let go of what she had with her firstborn, to conceiving, surviving a life-threatening illness during pregnancy, and ultimately experiencing a powerful homebirth.

We dive into the beliefs she needed to shift before welcoming a second child, the wisdom she gained from pausing and truly listening to her womb’s truth, and the fierce power of trusting her body through birth despite all odds.

Emma’s story is a testament to the power of presence, the voice of intuition, and the soul lessons that motherhood continues to bring.

Whether you're on your conception journey, in motherhood, or reweaving your story with your body—this one will stir something within you.
