Birth is far more than a physical event—it is a profound spiritual portal that transforms us on every level. In this talk, I explore how birth opens a gateway for rebirth, awakening, and ancestral healing, inviting us to step into new dimensions of ourselves. Whether through conceiving, birthing a child, or birthing a new version of who we are, this portal asks us to surrender, expand, and embrace the power of creation within.

Birth is a portal of co-creation.

We are not alone.

We are so divinely supported.

But often time we feel like it falls on us.

It is my responsibility to create.

It is my responsibility to produce.

It is my responsibility for this outcome to happen.

It's my responsibility to make things happen.

Right?

And that's our masculine energy.

That's our masculine energy telling us we need structure.

We need protocols.

We need procedures.

But that's only half of the story.

Because with our feminine energy we get to trust.

We get to surrender.

We get to receive.

We get to ebb and flow through these structures.

We get to create space.

We get to be versatile,

Adapt.

We get to hold our strength and our fluidity and our power and our vulnerability.

We get to embrace our emotions.

Birth is one of the most potent and powerful portals.

Not only in welcoming and inviting and birthing a baby.

But whatever creative venture.

If you are stepping into a new business.

If you are stepping into a project.

The sacral,

The womb holds.

Creativity,

Passion,

Pleasure,

Joy.

It's our center of creation.

But we are co-creators.

We are not doing this alone.

So when we can embrace the birth process as this co-creative flow between our human selves and our divine selves.

We see the potent magic that can happen here in this space.

I'm going to talk about each of my children's births.

And what they required of me.

What they asked of me.

What I experienced and what I moved through.

So with our six-year-old daughter.

Her soul prepared me for a beautiful spiritual awakening.

Releasing old identities,

Releasing my career.

I was a corporate publicist for over 12 years.

And as soon as I became pregnant with her,

I had this deep understanding,

This deep knowing that I had to let all of that go.

The identity,

The career that I built.

The ego involved.

What I thought that I wanted.

What I thought that I needed.

I had to let it all go.

And I had to create and reconstruct this new identity.

That's when I created my business.

That's when I launched my business.

I had no idea what entrepreneurship looked like.

I had no one around me who was an entrepreneur.

I learned everything.

I sought community,

Mentors.

And I've had my business now for six months.

I literally built my business two weeks postpartum.

My daughter was two weeks old.

And I was stepping into this new business.

She cracked me wide open.

Her birth was a portal.

It was a rebirth of me.

I completely changed who I was,

Who I thought I was,

Who I thought I needed to be.

And I became who I came here to be.

I aligned with my soul self.

With our son,

He showed me the way to embrace my femininity.

To really trust and surrender when life throws its chaos at you.

Are you going to trust?

How far are you willing to go to trust?

When I thought I surrendered into my femininity,

My son was like,

Oh,

No.

You have so much more to go.

With my son,

I felt like I hit rock bottom.

In my business.

In my ego.

My son was one of my biggest ego deaths.

I thought I had released a lot of the parts of my ego.

With him,

It was like,

Oh,

No.

Go deeper.

Go further.

I did a year straight of nervous system work.

Nervous system recalibration.

To really get out of that fight or flight,

That survival mode.

Because he showed me there's an easier way to be.

There's an easier way to do this.

You don't have to hold on to those ancestral patterns,

Those beliefs.

He catapulted me into a new level of ancestral and feminine healing.

A new level of my business that was birthed through the ashes of that identity.

And when I became pregnant with our third son,

Even though I am a psychic medium,

Even though I communicate with spare babies,

I had a dream of our third child.

I knew he was coming about a year before.

I saw his face.

I knew his name.

But my human self had a specific timeline that I wanted.

I was like,

Okay.

I want this timeline.

I need to get this,

This,

And this set up in my business.

I have all these things to do.

But then here he was.

I became pregnant.

And then I questioned,

Why?

Why now?

Why is this timing?

He came through because he was the last piece of the puzzle.

My final spirit baby earth side here with us.

He created,

He put all of these pieces into place that I didn't even know needed to be put into place.

He gave me so much strength,

So much resolve,

So much courage.

He helped me birth my new body of work.

He helped me manifest and bring in the things that we've been wanting to talking about.

He brought in this visionary energy.

He brought in this new wave of strength and courage and resilience within me.

He brought me this new voice,

This new identity.

My postpartum journey with him,

I felt like I just lost.

I didn't know what to say.

I didn't know how to show up.

I didn't know who to be.

And it all quickly fell into place.

The pieces of the puzzle,

My missing puzzle piece,

Created this beautiful,

Complete image.

Not only of my business and who I came here to be,

My purpose,

But our family.

I know why he needed to be here at this time.

I realized,

I knew that he completed us as a family unit as well.

And so if we allow it,

If we let it,

If we don't resist.

Because the first thing that we do when we're in,

You know,

To experience a birth,

There needs to be a death,

Right?

There's that polarity,

The duality of life,

Death and birth.

So what dies is a former identity,

A former version of ourselves,

A former relationship to things.

And our first inclination is to resist it.

Right away we say,

Oh no,

I don't want to let this go.

I'm going to hold on really tight.

I don't want to let it go because this is where I've been.

This is where I'm comfortable.

This is where it's safe.

And so we hold on tight and we go through these really deep,

Dark emotions.

And we're still holding on.

We're holding on.

We're holding on.

We're holding on.

And it's like we're being dragged through the mud with this thing that we refuse to let go of.

And it makes the birth process so much harder because it's like we're resisting.

And I like to call it the contraction before the expansion.

And so when we start to feel that resistance,

We're like,

Oh,

This is the uncomfortable part.

This is the contraction.

Okay,

Let me just breathe through it.

Let me just surrender.

Let me just trust.

Let me just let go.

And then I can expand.

The universe can do its thing.

God can hold me,

Support me,

Carry me,

Bring me the soul people,

The soul experiences that I need to weather this,

To get through it,

To get onto the other side of it.

Birth is a portal if we let it.

If we allow ourselves to die and be reborn.

And the more that you go through it,

The easier it gets.

You could start seeing like,

Okay,

This is happening.

I've felt this before.

I know what this is.

I know what it feels like.

You know,

You could kind of start coaching yourself through it.

But,

You know,

That initial death is probably the hardest because you're like,

What's happening here?

Am I going crazy?

I don't like this thing anymore.

I don't want to be doing this.

I don't resonate with these people anymore.

You kind of feel like you're going crazy.

Like,

What is happening?

Everything is falling apart.

Everything is breaking away.

We don't like that,

Right,

Because we feel like we're losing control.

We feel like everything that felt so safe and so comfortable is literally being pulled from under us.

And yes,

It is because it doesn't suit you anymore.

It doesn't serve you anymore.

You're not meant to be in that space,

In that relationship,

In that place,

In that environment anymore,

In that energy,

In that frequency.

You are rising.

You are ascending.

You're entering a new energy.

You're entering a new frequency with new relationships,

With new things that are going to support you,

That are going to expand you.

And that terrifies us because we've never been there before.

We've never dealt it.

We've never been there.

We haven't done it.

So it makes us nervous because we're like,

Well,

How am I going to react?

What's going to be on the other side?

Like,

What is that going to look like?

And that's kind of the beauty of life,

When we can lean into that fear,

When we can truly throw our hands up in the air and we could feel like,

Okay,

I've hit rock bottom.

Like,

There's nowhere else to go but up from here.

And I remember with our first son,

That's exact.

I remember laying on the floor in tears and saying,

I don't want to fight anymore,

God.

Just take me.

Just take me and guide me and show me and lead me because I don't want to fight anymore.

Show me what I need to do.

Show me where I need to go.

Show me who I need to be,

How I need to serve.

And from there,

You rise.

From there,

You surrender.

You stop fighting.

You stop resisting.

And you just start living.

You start doubting.

You start chasing.

I'm sorry.

You stop chasing.

You start attracting.

And that is the beauty of birth.

Once we learn how to work with its magnificent co-creative energy,

The life force energy,

When we start tapping into that womb of creation,

Our wombs of creation,

The beauty that lives there,

The significance,

The possibility.

So birth is the most potent,

Powerful portal,

If you let it,

If you just allow it to be.
