I Manifested a Calm, Aligned Birth & It Taught Me A New Level of Mindset
In this corner of the internet, we keep it real, raw, and rooted in alignment. If you’ve been keeping up with the Limitlyss podcast, you already know that I’ve officially broken up with social media (more on that in a sec) and promised to share my birth story through the lens of mindset and manifestation, of course.
This isn’t your typical birth story full of medical details. I want to take you behind the scenes of what it felt like, how I navigated it energetically, and what I learned that I know can serve you, too, whether you’re a mama or simply birthing something new in your life.
Breaking Up with Social Media
First, let’s address the digital elephant in the room: I’ve left social media. Yep, we’re done. I realized I was chasing something that wasn’t mine to hold anymore, and it’s time for a new season. One rooted in presence, in living for a living, and in trusting that I don’t need an app to build an abundant life or business.
I’ve been manifesting offline since 2017, and honestly? That’s where some of my biggest miracles have happened. I’m now teaching my membership community how to live in abundance away from the scroll. If you’re curious, the masterclass “Abundance off Socials” is live in my membership now! 💫
Manifestation + Motherhood: A Spiritual Birth Story
Now, for the birth story. I was 41 weeks when I delivered my son via induction. Not exactly what I’d envisioned, but I truly believe it was his perfect timing. He came Earthside just minutes before a lunar eclipse and on Pi Day (yes, really). His birth chart? Gorgeous. But I’m not projecting anything onto him. If he’s ever curious, I’ll share it. Until then, it’s a sacred little secret between me & the stars.
I chose not to create a rigid birth plan. Instead, I surrendered. From a recovering control freak Virgo, that’s saying a lot. But I trusted my body, the universe, and my baby. That surrender led to a smooth, calm delivery. I barely made a sound during labor. My husband was shocked and yes, he peeked even though I told him not to. 😂
The entire process was peaceful because I intentionally kept it sacred. I didn’t share every detail online. I didn’t invite strangers into that portal. That privacy allowed me to stay grounded and truly present.
Choose Your Hard: From Catheters to Colostrum
Was it all easy? No. I had a tough recovery… seven catheters in six days (don’t recommend), some wild meds I’d never take again, and that terrifying postpartum moment when you’re sent home and realize, “Wait... I’m in charge of this tiny human?!”
Breastfeeding was its own initiation. My milk didn’t come in for days, and the stress was real. But I chose my hard. I knew that formula wasn’t part of my path, so I kept going. Through the tears, doubt, and 3 a.m. feedings, I kept going.
The Bigger Lesson: The Old You Can’t Come
Here’s what motherhood re-taught me: transformation is always uncomfortable. Whether it’s birthing a baby, a business, or a new version of you, the old you can’t come with you. You’ve got to shed. You’ve got to stretch. You’ve got to choose your hard.
That’s why so many of my clients say, “Alyssa, what the actual fuck is going on?!” in their first few weeks of working with me. Because things start falling away. Relationships, patterns, even clients, and it feels chaotic before it feels clear. But it’s not falling apart. It’s falling into alignment.
And that’s the real magic.
Ditching the Rules, Following Zaddy Universe
Society teaches us to follow man-made rules. But what if the real answers are within you? What if your inner voice, the one whispering for more, is your personal magic eight ball? The sooner you stop caring what others think and start tuning into your soul’s wisdom, the faster things start shifting.
I manifested a smooth birth because I believed it was possible. I believed in my body. I believed in my son. I trusted the universe. And I kept my mind in check because mindset is everything. Period.
With so much love and a newborn snuggled in my lap,
Alyssa 💫
