Ali Manifested her Dream Birth

Diana Forsell Tayan
About this episode

After a traumatic and disempowering hospital birth in 2020, which Ali compares to a prior sexual assault, Something deep shifted within her. She went from being a self-diagnosed hypochondriac who sought medical treatment for non-existing conditions, to a home-birthing, self-healing soul who has come to know the power of the mind and self-programming.

Ali reconditioned her views on birth, pregnancy, and life, and manifested her dream birth with her second baby.  She believes that it is our birthright to experience life altering and blissful birth, which is our portal to a deeper connection to the Divine, to the life force that guides us, and to our lineage and children.
