Most birth conversations stop in the delivery room. This one goes far beyond it.
Eyla Cuenca (@eylacuenca) has attended around 300 births over the past 15 years, training doulas and helping women process birth trauma that often stretches back generations. In this episode, Eyla shares what changed after she birthed her own daughter, the grief that surfaced during labor, and why she stepped away from the polarity between hospital birth and free birth.
We also dive into postpartum phone addiction, Edward Tronickโs still-face experiment, and Eylaโs perspective on when the soul fully anchors into the body.
From there, the conversation expands into reincarnation, soul fractals, the Akashic record, and a deeply personal story about how a mushroom ceremony reshaped my relationship to past abortions and circumcision.
