SELLEST OSAST
In this 100th episode of Unboxable, Somatic Therapist Aléna Turley reflects on the power of deep, body-held belief that defies logic, rational thinking, or even medical science.
She shares her four-year journey to conceiving and carrying her third child—after pregnancy loss, a difficult second pregnancy, multiple miscarriages, intense life pressure, alternative support, and discouraging fertility assessments including IVF that was halted due to low eggs.
Following a Whole30 wholefood reset and a move overseas to Bath, England, she conceived and experienced a largely low-intervention, empowered birth supported by a doula, midwives, and birth education, and community breastfeeding support.
This episode is all about cultivating trust in the body as an intimate companion, seeking support, resting and replenishing, and learning the difference between distraction and an aligned, life-affirming path.
