029. The Secret Life of Cerebrospinal Fluid w/ Dr. Mauro Zappaterra

<p><span style="background-color: transparent;">In this episode, I sit down with Dr. Mauro Zappaterra—Harvard-trained physician, researcher, and truly one of the most heart-centered scientists I’ve ever met. His work has changed the way we understand not only fetal development, but consciousness itself. Together, we explore the powerful, often overlooked role of cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) and amniotic fluid—what I now see as the brain’s hidden river and the womb’s sacred mirror.</span></p><p><br></p><p><span style="background-color: transparent;">Dr. Zappaterra takes us into the third ventricle, a deeply intuitive space in the brain where CSF flows and dimensional awareness begins. We talk about how this fluid supports our nervous system, carries emotional and energetic imprints, and can become a tool for healing if we learn to attune to it. For birth workers, parents, and anyone on a path of remembering, this conversation reveals the deep intelligence stored within us since before birth.</span></p><p><br></p><p><span style="background-color: transparent;">We also explore the emotional signature of amniotic fluid—how a mother’s or surrogate’s internal state imprints the developing child, and how that connection lives on far beyond the womb. You’ll hear how interventions like epidurals can shift the natural flow of this system, and what we can do to reconnect with it holistically.</span></p><p><br></p><p><span style="background-color: transparent;">This episode is about remembering that we are fluid beings, deeply connected to something ancient, sacred, and intelligent that has always been within us.</span></p><p><span style="background-color: transparent;">Inside this conversation:</span></p><p><br></p><ul><li><span style="background-color: transparent;">What CSF reveals about our emotional and spiritual state</span></li><li><span style="background-color: transparent;">The third ventricle as a portal to higher consciousness</span></li><li><span style="background-color: transparent;">The lifelong bond formed in the amniotic field—even with surrogates</span></li><li><span style="background-color: transparent;">How to tune in to the subtle energies of your own neurofluid system</span></li><li><span style="background-color: transparent;">What we lose when we ignore the unseen—and how to reclaim it</span></li></ul><p><br></p><p><strong style="background-color: transparent;">Chapters:</strong></p><p><span style="background-color: transparent;">(00:01:13) Introduction</span></p><p><span style="background-color: transparent;">(00:01:59) The Brain’s Hidden River: Dr. Mauro Zapaterra’s Exploration of Cerebrospinal Fluid</span></p><p><span style="background-color: transparent;">(00:17:10) The Neurofluid Connection and How the Third Ventricle and CSF Support Consciousness and Dimensional Awareness</span></p><p><span style="background-color: transparent;">(00:25:29) The Untold Power of Cerebrospinal Fluid, A Hidden Key to Anatomy and Awakening</span></p><p><span style="background-color: transparent;">(00:35:41) How Cerebrospinal Fluid Shapes Fetal Development and Reflects Maternal Emotion</span></p><p><span style="background-color: transparent;">(00:47:17) How Amniotic Fluid Creates a Lifelong Connection Between Surrogate and Child</span></p><p><span style="background-color: transparent;">(00:55:00) Steps to Connect with the Stored Intelligence in Your CSF</span></p><p><span style="background-color: transparent;">(01:12:01) Why We Resist the Unseen and How to Attune to Subtle Energies</span></p><p><span style="background-color: transparent;">(01:17:21) Epidural Interventions and Their Influence on Cerebrospinal Fluid and Holistic Ways to Rebalance</span></p><p><br></p><p><strong style="background-color: transparent;">Connect with Mauro Zapaterra MD, PhD:</strong></p><p><a href="https://www.holdingspace.com/" target="_blank" style="background-color: transparent;

028. How to Truly Understand Your Child w/ Kirk Martin

<p><span style="background-color: transparent;">What if parenting wasn’t about control—but connection? In this powerful episode of </span>Born to Know<span style="background-color: transparent;">, I sit down with Kirk Martin, founder of Celebrate Calm, who has helped over 1 million families across 20+ countries transform relationships with even the most strong-willed children. His work has brought peace to homes challenged by ADHD, anxiety, defiance, and explosive behavior—not by forcing change in kids, but by guiding parents back to themselves.</span></p><p><br></p><p><span style="background-color: transparent;">We explore why micromanagement blocks emotional maturity, how parental anxiety fuels disconnection, and why conventional milestones—like reading at age 4—are often arbitrary distractions from a child’s true development. Kirk offers tangible tools for letting go of control, building emotional safety, and raising kids who trust themselves.</span></p><p><br></p><p><span style="background-color: transparent;">If you’ve ever felt the pressure to “fix” your child, this conversation invites a shift: what if your child isn’t broken… and never was? Learn how curiosity, autonomy, and deep respect can replace punishment, pressure, and power struggles. This is for parents raising ADHD kids, spirited learners, and beautifully “different” children who don’t fit the mold—and never should.</span></p><p><br></p><p>Chapters:</p><p><span style="background-color: transparent;">(00:00:00) Introduction</span></p><p> (00:02:26) Redefining Parenting: Kirk Martin on Healing, Connection, and the End of Power Struggles</p><p> (00:07:26) The Mimicry Effect: Why Children Reflect the Behaviors They See in Parents</p><p> (00:09:00) Stop Micromanaging, Start Empowering: Kirk Martin’s Phrases That Build Confidence in Kids—and Calm in Parents</p><p> (00:14:29) Letting Go of Control: Practical Tools to Support Your Child Without Micromanaging</p><p> (00:18:30) Let Them Choose: Why Choices Help Kids Understand Themselves</p><p> (00:23:57) Freedom Doesn’t Breed Rebellion: How Respecting Your Child’s Choices Fosters Self-Awareness and Lifelong Authenticity</p><p> (00:28:21) The Power of Being 'Weird': Why Authentic, Strong-Willed Kids Grow Into Exceptional Adults</p><p> (00:32:00) Misunderstood in the Classroom: Why Strong-Willed Kids Resist Traditional Schooling—And Still Grow into Bold, Creative Leaders</p><p> (00:38:00) Raising Creative Kids: Why Boredom, Nature, and Peer Connection Matter More Than Constant Entertainment</p><p> (00:45:09) Teaching Trust, Not Obedience: The Hidden Costs of Conventional Schooling and the Power of Autonomy at Home</p><p> (00:50:15) How Parental Anxiety Shapes Children and Disrupts the Parent-Child Connection</p><p> (00:54:27) The Phrases that Shape Us: How Parental Words Resonate Into Adulthood and Impact Self-Worth</p><p> (01:00:05) Nurturing Curiosity: Why Focusing on Your Child’s Strengths Outshines Any Report Card</p><p><br></p><p><strong style="background-color: transparent;">Connect with Kirk Martin:</strong></p><p><a href="https://celebratecalm.com/" target="_blank" style="background-color: transparent; color: rgb(17, 85, 204);">Website</a></p><p><a href="https://www.instagram.com/calmparentingpodcast/" target="_blank" style="background-color: transparent; color: rgb(17, 85, 204);">Instagram</a></p><p><br></p><p><br></p><p><strong style="background-color: transparent;">Connect with Eyla Cuenca:&nbsp;</strong></p><p><a href="https://uncoveringbirth.com" target="_blank" style="background-color: transparent; color: rgb(17, 85, 204);">Website</a><span style="background-color: transparent;">&nbsp;</span></p><p><a href="https://www.instagram.com/eyla_cuenca_birth/" target="_blank" style="background-color: transparent; color: rgb(17, 85, 204);">Eyla’s Instagram</a></p><p><a href="https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCcfd3Lwuxw9SuTL5o-h-3rA" target="_blank" style="background-color: transparent; color: rgb(17, 85, 204);">YouTube</a></p><p><br></p><p><br></p><p><strong style="background-color: transparent;">Connect with Born To Know:</strong></p><p><br></p><p><a href="https://www.instagram.com/borntoknowpodcast/" target="_blank" style="background-color: transparent; color: rgb(17, 85, 204);">Instagram</a></p><p><br></p><p><a href="https://www.uncoveringbirth.com/born-to-know-podcast-home" target="_blank" style="background-color: transparent; color: rgb(17, 85, 204);">Website</a></p><p><br></p><p><a href="https://podcasts.apple.com/podcast/id1770050656" target="_blank" style="background-color: transparent; color: rgb(17, 85, 204);">Apple Podcasts</a></p><p><br></p><p><a href="https://open.spotify.com/show/0vPg1j1sDbafbRUNwQc22W" target="_blank" style="background-color: transparent; color: rgb(17, 85, 204);">Spotify</a></p><p><br></p><p><strong style="background-color: transparent;">Born To Know is created by:</strong></p><p><span style="background-color: transparent;">Host &amp; Executive Producer: </span><a href="https://uncoveringbirth.com" target="_blank" style="background-color: transparent; color: rgb(17, 85, 204);">Eyla Cuenca</a></p><p><span style="background-color: transparent;">Post-Producer &amp; Editor: </span><a href="https://vrsvisuals.com" target="_blank" style="background-color: transparent; color: rgb(17, 85, 204);">Victoria Rondón</a><span style="background-color: transparent;">&nbsp;</span></p><p><span style="background-color: transparent;">Graphic &amp; Website Designer: </span><a href="https://neonattitudearts.com" target="_blank" style="background-color: transparent; color: rgb(17, 85, 204);">Turbo Rainbow</a></p><p><br></p><p><span style="background-color: transparent;">Want to dive deeper into the world of birth?

027. Unlocking AI's Higher Purpose w/ Laura Matsue

<p><span style="background-color: transparent;">In this powerful episode of </span>Born to Know,<span style="background-color: transparent;"> I sit down with Laura Matsue—a psychospiritual coach, evolutionary astrologer, and healer whose work has transformed my understanding of soul growth, trauma, and the future of AI. From the very start, Laura’s story of her reverse nodal return sparked a profound psycho-spiritual awakening that sets the tone for a conversation that will truly change your life.</span></p><p><span style="background-color: transparent;">We dive deep into Pluto in Scorpio’s generational call for soul-level healing and trauma transformation, exploring how evolutionary astrology reveals our karmic contracts and soul lessons through the North and South Nodes. You’ll discover how the Saturn-Pluto conjunction marked a cosmic turning point, triggering the global pandemic and reshaping social and cultural beliefs on a profound level.</span></p><p><span style="background-color: transparent;">We also unpack the echoes of Orwellian propaganda and energetic influence in the COVID era before moving into the astrology behind the AI revolution with Pluto in Aquarius. Laura sheds light on the hidden toll AI takes on creativity and consciousness, and how this technological shift challenges us to reclaim real human connection.</span></p><p><span style="background-color: transparent;">For parents, this episode offers insight into raising children in a digital world and reviving creativity through real-life exploration. We close by exploring somatic healing, recognizing dissociation, and building stronger relationships through body awareness.</span></p><p><span style="background-color: transparent;">If you’re ready to rethink AI and spirituality, prepare for spiritual growth in the digital age, and awaken your soul’s journey—this conversation with Laura Matsue is your gateway.
