This podcast explores our earliest beginning —known as Early Primal Experience, - from preconception, the womb, through birth and early childhood This is a space for anyone who’s ever felt that something early — before words, before memory — shaped how safe, connected, or worthy they feel today. We explore how our earliest beginnings, from the womb through birth and early attachment, leave imprints that still live in the body… and how understanding them can change everything. You are invited into a mystical realm of remembering how you were shaped, and to allow your authentic self to emerge.

    When Something in You Reacts Why Does My Body Know Something My Mind Doesn't?

    When Something in You Reacts: Why Does My Body Know Something My Mind Doesn't? Have you ever had a reaction that seemed bigger than the moment? You know you're safe, but your body doesn't seem to know it. Someone gets quiet, and you feel anxious. Someone is disappointed in you, and suddenly you feel like you've done something terribly wrong. Someone pulls away, and your body begins preparing for abandonment, even though your mind knows this person loves you. You may find yourself wondering: Why am I reacting this way? What is wrong with me? What am I not remembering? In this episode, we explore the fascinating relationship between memory, the body, the nervous system, and our earliest experiences. We often hear the phrase, "The body remembers what the mind forgets." But what if the truth is a little more nuanced? What if the body isn't storing a hidden recording of the past? What if it is expressing what our experiences have taught us to expect? Perhaps our bodies don't simply remember the past. Perhaps they predict the future based on what they've learned from the past. We explore implicit memory, somatic patterns, breath, posture, sensation, emotion, and the ways experiences can become embodied even when we have no conscious story about them. We consider the possibility that some of the things we call personality: people-pleasing, perfectionism, hypervigilance, caretaking, or even difficulty receiving love, may have once been intelligent adaptations. And if our bodies learned through experience, what might they need to experience now in order to learn something new? This episode invites you to move away from the question, "What's wrong with me?" and toward curiosity: What did my system learn to expect? What is my body trying to protect me from? And what might I need to experience now to feel something different? Perhaps healing isn't always about finding the missing memory. Perhaps sometimes, healing is about creating a new experience. Join me as we explore the living past within us and the possibility that our bodies are not broken, but communicating a story that is ready to be understood. The Cosmic Birth Podcast explores the psychological, spiritual, and mystical dimensions of our earliest experiences—from before conception, through the womb and birth, and into early childhood—and how these beginnings may shape the people we are becoming today.

    Pre-Birth Memories: What does the baby remember?

    What Does the Baby Remember? What if your story began before your first conscious memory? We often think of memory as something that begins when we are old enough to talk, to remember people, places, and events. But what if memory is more than what we can consciously recall? What if our earliest experiences are held in the body, the nervous system, our emotional patterns or even in some deeper layer of consciousness? In this episode of the Cosmic Birth Podcast, Julia explores one of the most fascinating questions in prenatal and perinatal psychology: If babies are conscious before birth, what might they be experiencing? We'll explore the pioneering work of David Chamberlain and Thomas Verny, along with ideas from prenatal psychology, birth psychology, developmental neuroscience, trauma research, and the growing conversation around consciousness and memory. Together, we'll wonder about: • What babies may perceive and experience in the womb• Whether prenatal experiences can influence us later in life• The possibility of birth memory and implicit body memory• How the emotional environment surrounding pregnancy may affect the developing baby• What a baby might experience during birth and the transition into the world• The difference between conscious memory and implicit, emotional, and bodily memory• Whether our earliest experiences shape our expectations about safety, connection, trust, and belonging• What it might mean to consider birth as our first major relational experience This is an invitation to become curious about the possibility that our story began much earlier than we have been taught to believe. Perhaps our first memories aren't stored as pictures or words. Perhaps they are held as sensations. As expectations. As a felt sense of whether the world is safe, whether someone will come when we call, whether we belong, and whether we are welcomed here. And perhaps the question isn't only: What does the baby remember? But also: What has the baby never forgotten? Join me as we move closer to the beginning of the human story and explore what your earliest experiences might have to say about the person you are becoming today.

    The Disappointed Dreamer: Why Hope Begins to Feel Dangerous (and How to Trust Life Again)

    What if the opposite of hope isn't despair... but self-protection? Have you ever caught yourself saying: "What's the point?""It probably won't work anyway.""I don't want to get my hopes up."We often call this pessimism. But what if it's something much more tender? In this episode of the Cosmic Birth Podcast, Julia Sahalie explores The Disappointed Dreamer—the part of us that quietly stopped dreaming after experiencing too many disappointments. Together, we'll uncover how early experiences in the womb, birth, childhood, and our closest relationships can shape a nervous system that learns to protect itself from hope. You'll discover: • Why hope can begin to feel emotionally unsafe• The developmental origins of expecting disappointment• How repeated unmet hopes create protective patterns• The hidden gifts of the Disappointed Dreamer• The beliefs that quietly shape our relationships, careers, and dreams• Why healing isn't about "thinking positive"• How safety, support, and nervous system capacity allow hope to return naturally Julia also shares a gentle fireside story about an old apple tree that had forgotten how to bloom—and the patient gardener who reminded it that healing begins at the roots. If you've ever felt afraid to dream again, this episode is an invitation to discover that perhaps nothing is wrong with your heart. Maybe your heart has simply been waiting for the right conditions to bloom again. "Hope deferred makes the heart sick, but a longing fulfilled is a tree of life." — Proverbs 13:12 Healing isn't learning to hope harder. It's creating the inner conditions where hope can quietly return.

    The Good Student: Why Getting It Right Keeps You Lost (Persona Series)

    Have you ever noticed that even healing can become another classroom? In this episode, we explore one of the most recognizable adaptive identities: The Good Student. This isn't about intelligence or achievement, it's about the deep belief that if you just do it right, you'll finally be enough. We dive into: - Where this identity formed (and it likely started much earlier than you think) - The unmet primal need underneath constantly looking for the right answers. - The birth imprints that taught your nervous system that love is conditional - The real gifts this adaptation gave you and why they're now holding you back - Why you keep searching for the next teacher, the next answer, the next modality - How Eleanor spent decades looking for answers everywhere except where they actually lived—inside her - The integration: how to keep your conscientiousness and reliability while finally learning to trust yourself Sometimes the greatest act of healing isn't finding a better teacher. It's discovering that the wisest voice has been quietly waiting inside you all along. If you've ever felt like you're one course away from finally getting it right, this episode is for you.

    Your Story Began Before Birth: Exploring Memory, Consciousness & Pre-Birth Experiences

    What if your first memory happened before you were born? In this episode of the Cosmic Birth Podcast, Julia Sahalie explores one of the most fascinating questions in consciousness research: Can memory exist before the brain is fully developed? Drawing from the work of Neil and Elizabeth Carman, David Chamberlain, Ian Stevenson, Jim Tucker, Stanislav Grof, Michael Newton and others, Julia explores reports of pre-birth memories, soul planning experiences, children's spontaneous recollections, near-death research, and emerging theories about consciousness beyond the brain. Topics include: • Pre-birth memories in children • Soul planning and choosing parents • Consciousness before birth • Stanislav Grof and the holographic model of consciousness • David Chamberlain's birth memory research • Ian Stevenson and Jim Tucker's studies of children's memories • Memory, the brain, and the mystery of awareness • The possibility of a soul blueprint This episode is not about convincing you what to believe. It's an invitation into wonder. What if your story began before your first breath?

    The Caretaker Wound: How Early Survival Becomes Self-Abandonment

    Many of us wear the Caretaker role like a badge of honor. We're the dependable one. The helper. The listener. The one everyone can count on. But what if being a caretaker isn't simply a personality trait? What if it began as a survival strategy long before you had words to explain it? In this episode we explore the developmental origins of the Caretaker persona and how our earliest experiences can shape a lifelong pattern of prioritizing others while losing connection with ourselves. You'll discover: • The two most common ways the Caretaker develops in childhood and early attachment experiences • Why children often become emotional caretakers without realizing it • The hidden beliefs beneath people-pleasing, over-giving, and rescuing • The gifts and strengths of the Caretaker archetype • How this pattern shows up in relationships, work, family, and health • The emotional experience of feeling responsible for everyone else • Why burnout is often connected to self-abandonment • A fireside story about Andromeda and the sacrifice and Dr. Seuss's Thidwick the Big-Hearted Moose and what it teaches us about boundaries, belonging, and generosity This episode is not about becoming less caring. It's about learning how to include yourself in the circle of care. If you've ever felt exhausted from carrying everyone else's needs, this conversation may help you understand why and offer a gentler path home to yourself.

    The Special One: Unraveling the Wound Beneath Being Exceptional

    We often think of "The Special One" as someone hungry for fame and admiration. But what if the real question they're asking is far more vulnerable? "If I am extraordinary enough, will you finally see me? If I have a rare gift, will you choose me? If I shine brightly enough, will you stay?" In this intimate episode, we explore how The Special One wound develops—often rooted in a parent's unmet needs, grief, or the subtle message that ordinary love isn't enough. Through reflection questions and a deeper understanding of the primal need for unconditional belonging, we explore how The Special One can reclaim the right to be loved simply for existing—not for what they achieve. This is for anyone who has ever wondered: "What would my life be if I could just rest and still belong?” Join the Inner Infant Sanctuary https://cosmicbirth.com/page/iis-registration Visit my Website https://cosmicbirth.com/ Take the Early Primal Core Needs Quiz https://juliasahalie.outgrow.us/PrimalCoreNeeds Take the Core Fear Quiz: http://cosmicbirth.com/core-fear-quiz Follow me on Instagram https://www.instagram.com/juliasahalie Follow me on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/juliasahalie ABOUT THE PODCAST:The Cosmic Birth Podcast explores birth imprints, prenatal psychology, attachment wounds, primal needs, nervous system healing, spirituality, soul remembrance, relational trauma, authentic embodiment, and the journey back to wholeness.

    The Wanderer's Heart: Why You Keep Moving and How to Learn to Stay (Persona Series)

    Do you find yourself perpetually searching for the next place, the next person, the next experience? Do you feel most alive when you're exploring but most lonely when you try to commit? If so, you might be a Wanderer. In this episode, we explore the early roots of the Wandering pattern, often developed when a child learns that home is not safe, that staying brings abandonment, or that movement is the only reliable form of protection. We unpack the beautiful gifts this adaptation brings: pioneering spirit, resilience, and deep freedom. And we gently acknowledge the shadow side: the inability to root, the fear of being trapped, and the exhaustion of perpetual searching. Through the story of Solaris the deer, we discover how safety can feel like a cage when we've never experienced it. And the story by Dr. Suess of Solla Sollwe, we explore what it means to choose to arrive, not because you have to or you found the perfect place, but because you finally know you can. This episode is for anyone who has ever felt like a beautiful misfit, too restless for one place, too curious to commit. It's for the seekers, the explorers, and the wandering hearts learning that there's a difference between wandering away from something and wandering toward home.
