What happens when we try to control the most natural act on Earth?

In this deeply human conversation, Philipp Kobald sits with Kiley Tkaczyk Jones—a pre-conception, birth, and postpartum doula—to explore the mystery, surrender, and raw spirituality of giving birth.

Together, they question how modern medicine has turned birth into a procedure instead of a passage—and what it would mean to bring back trust, ritual, and consciousness to the beginning of life. In short, Why Modern Birth Lost Its Magic (and How to Get It Back)

This episode isn’t only about childbirth—it’s about letting go, learning to trust the unknown, and remembering that some transitions in life can’t be planned. They can only be lived.

💬 Key Takeaways

• Why the real power of birth lies in surrender, not control
• How modern systems disconnect women from their intuition
• What birth reveals about fear, death, and awakening
• Why rebuilding the “village” around mothers matters more than ever
• How “containing discomfort” becomes the first spiritual lesson of parenthood
