029. The Secret Life of Cerebrospinal Fluid w/ Dr. Mauro Zappaterra
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.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.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.This episode is about remembering that we are fluid beings, deeply connected to something ancient, sacred, and intelligent that has always been within us.Inside this conversation:What CSF reveals about our emotional and spiritual stateThe third ventricle as a portal to higher consciousnessThe lifelong bond formed in the amniotic field—even with surrogatesHow to tune in to the subtle energies of your own neurofluid systemWhat we lose when we ignore the unseen—and how to reclaim itChapters: Introduction The Brain’s Hidden River: Dr. Mauro Zapaterra’s Exploration of Cerebrospinal Fluid The Neurofluid Connection and How the Third Ventricle and CSF Support Consciousness and Dimensional Awareness The Untold Power of Cerebrospinal Fluid, A Hidden Key to Anatomy and Awakening How Cerebrospinal Fluid Shapes Fetal Development and Reflects Maternal Emotion How Amniotic Fluid Creates a Lifelong Connection Between Surrogate and Child Steps to Connect with the Stored Intelligence in Your CSF Why We Resist the Unseen and How to Attune to Subtle Energies Epidural Interventions and Their Influence on Cerebrospinal Fluid and Holistic Ways to RebalanceConnect with Mauro Zapaterra MD, PhD:WebsiteInstagramConnect with Eyla Cuenca: Website Eyla’s InstagramYouTubeConnect with Born To Know:<a href="https://www.instagram.com/borntoknowpodcast/" target="_blank" style="background-color: transparent; color: rgb(17, 85, 204)

028. How to Truly Understand Your Child w/ Kirk Martin
What if parenting wasn’t about control—but connection? In this powerful episode of Born to Know, 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.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.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.Chapters: Introduction Redefining Parenting: Kirk Martin on Healing, Connection, and the End of Power Struggles The Mimicry Effect: Why Children Reflect the Behaviors They See in Parents Stop Micromanaging, Start Empowering: Kirk Martin’s Phrases That Build Confidence in Kids—and Calm in Parents Letting Go of Control: Practical Tools to Support Your Child Without Micromanaging Let Them Choose: Why Choices Help Kids Understand Themselves Freedom Doesn’t Breed Rebellion: How Respecting Your Child’s Choices Fosters Self-Awareness and Lifelong Authenticity The Power of Being 'Weird': Why Authentic, Strong-Willed Kids Grow Into Exceptional Adults Misunderstood in the Classroom: Why Strong-Willed Kids Resist Traditional Schooling—And Still Grow into Bold, Creative Leaders Raising Creative Kids: Why Boredom, Nature, and Peer Connection Matter More Than Constant Entertainment Teaching Trust, Not Obedience: The Hidden Costs of Conventional Schooling and the Power of Autonomy at Home How Parental Anxiety Shapes Children and Disrupts the Parent-Child Connection The Phrases that Shape Us: How Parental Words Resonate Into Adulthood and Impact Self-Worth Nurturing Curiosity: Why Focusing on Your Child’s Strengths Outshines Any Report CardConnect with Kirk Martin:WebsiteInstagramConnect with Eyla Cuenca: Website Eyla’s InstagramYouTubeConnect with Born To Know:InstagramWebsiteApple PodcastsSpotifyBorn To Know is created by:<span style="background-color: transpa

026. Before Birth, After Death & What Hypnosis Reveals w/ Sam Joshi
In this episode, I sit down with hypnotherapist Samanvaya “Sam” Joshi to explore what really lives beneath the surface of our everyday awareness. We dive into Quantum Healing Hypnosis—a gentle yet profound process that opens the door to the subconscious mind, where old stories, past lives, and even pre-birth memories are stored. Sam shares how we can access the root of emotional pain without force, without faith, and without needing to “believe” in anything. This approach does not need to conflict with dogmas, as the goal is to uncover what already resides in the unconscious mind.We talk about healing the inner child, remembering our soul’s path, and how hypnotherapy can help rewire patterns that began before we could speak. There’s a beautiful intersection here between science and soul—between the brain’s neuroplasticity and the timeless wisdom that lives within us. If you’re curious about the deeper layers of healing, or if you’ve ever wondered what your subconscious is trying to tell you, this conversation is for you.Chapters: Introduction Eyla’s Inner Journey: Hypnosis, Past Lives, and Healing with Sam Joshi Unlocking the Subconscious: Sam Joshi’s Approach to Quantum Healing Hypnosis (QHHT) Opening the Door to the Subconscious: The Power of Relaxation and Trust in Hypnosis From Seeker to Healer: Sam Joshi’s Journey to Dolores Cannon and Hypnotherapy Soul Bonds in Hypnosis: Discovering the Invisible Thread That Connects Us No Faith Required: Breaking Down Skepticism and Unlocking the Power of Hypnosis The Lost Voice Within: Healing the Inner Child and Rebuilding Trust in Ourselves Past Lives Revealed: How Hypnotherapy Opens the Door to the Soul’s History Rethinking the Afterlife: Escaping the Constraints of Heaven and Hell Layers of Memory: From Pre-Birth Consciousness to Infant Pain Recall The Path to Empowerment: Taking Responsibility for Your Spiritual and Physical Journey Unlocking Life’s Full Potential: The Alchemical Power of HypnotherapyConnect with Sam Joshi:Website Instagram Connect with Eyla Cuenca: Website Eyla’s InstagramYouTubeConnect with Born To Know:InstagramWebsiteApple Podcasts<a href="https://open.spotify.com/show/0vPg1j1sDbafbRUNwQc22W" target="_blank" style="background-color: transparent; color: rgb(17, 85, 204)
