The Cosmic Womb with Emily the MediumShow Notes
"We can’t be so outcome driven that we are missing the point that she will remember this birth for the rest of her life" - Erica Paulson
In this conversation, Emily sits down with doula Erica Paulson to explore the intelligence of birth and the consciousness of babies. Together, they dive into the emerging understanding of birth memory, prenatal bonding, and the truth that babies are sentient beings who feel, sense, and remember their journey into the world. Erica shares her wisdom on somatic awareness in birth, how the body guides labor, how emotions surface as part of the physiological process, and why embodiment is a key skill for anyone supporting birth. She and Emily explore the sacred role of doulas as protectors, and advocates for informed consent and respectful care. The conversation also expands into the spiritual path of motherhood, the energetics of the mother-baby bond, and how to create truly nurturing spaces for pregnancy, labor, and postpartum healing.

In this solo episode of The Cosmic Womb, Emily explores the sacredness of pregnancy, inviting listeners to see this chapter as far more than a physical experience. She shares how pregnancy can become a powerful portal for inner work, emotional healing, and deepened self-connection, while also opening a direct line of communication with the soul of your baby. Emily walks through some of the most common and nuanced questions that arise during pregnancy, including when the soul meets the body, how to stay energetically connected to your baby in the midst of daily life, and how to navigate moments of stress without feeling disconnected. She also speaks to the experiences many parents have: from questioning intuitive feelings about gender, to not always feeling deeply bonded, to sensing multiple spirit babies and wondering which soul has come through.
