In this soulful continuation of Awakened Living with Yali Giovanni, Yali reconnects with returning guests Kassandra “Ajaluna” Carr of Ajaluna Wellness and Kiyona Miah of Kiy2Shanti for Life as Doulas, Part 2.

Together, they share the real, unfiltered side of birth work—the heart, the challenges, and the deep purpose behind serving mothers and families through one of life’s most powerful transitions.

In this episode:

• Safe and beneficial herbs for pregnancy and postpartum care
• The role of mindfulness, yoga, and grounding in motherhood
• Emotional energy and the importance of releasing trauma during pregnancy
• Why doulas are vital in modern birth spaces
• The physical and emotional toll of birth work—and how doulas practice self-care

This conversation is raw, wise, and full of gratitude—a reminder that birth is not just a medical event but a sacred journey of transformation for the entire family.
