As we welcome 2025, I revisited an article I wrote over 15 years ago. To my surprise, its message feels even more relevant today. In 2002, I first noticed the emergence of what I called the Double Heart or New Kids on the Block—a new wave of conscious souls entering the world. Over the years, their presence has grown, especially during and after pivotal moments like the pandemic. Today, I see them as the New New Kids on the Block, and they are here to help us reimagine connectedness, starting before birth.
Why Conversations with Your Baby Matter
From the moment parents learn they are expecting, the opportunity to connect begins. Pregnancy tests may confirm the news, but it’s the conscious connection between parents and babies that truly sets the tone for life.
Everything a parent feels, thinks or says becomes part of the baby’s experience in the womb. Joy, fear, love, or stress—these emotions create frequencies that the baby absorbs at a cellular level. For example:
- Stress and fear: These vibrations can leave the baby feeling unsafe or disconnected.
- Love and joy: These create a sense of safety, connection, and support.
These early experiences form the foundation of the baby’s emotional and physical well-being, influencing their journey from the womb to adulthood.
Breaking Generational Patterns
Many of the emotional struggles we face as adults—abandonment, insecurity, or feeling unloved—don’t start with us. They often trace back to the emotions passed down by our parents. These aren’t genetic issues but cellular memories embedded through emotional experiences.
When parents take the time to have loving, clear, and connected conversations with their baby, they break the cycle. Instead of passing down fear-based patterns, they embed feelings of support and unconditional love at the cellular level. This connection doesn’t just impact the baby’s early years; it sets the tone for their entire life.
From the Womb to the World
Imagine a world where babies are born feeling deeply loved, supported, and connected. They wouldn’t carry the burden of “wanty-needy” validation that drives so many addictions, illnesses, and dysfunctional relationships. Instead, these children would grow into adults with a strong sense of self-worth and the ability to form healthy, meaningful connections.
Parents can start this transformation by simply talking to their baby. Express joy, love, and gratitude for their presence. Welcome them as the gift of life they are.
How to Start the Conversation
Talking to your baby doesn’t require perfect words or rehearsed speeches. Speak from your heart, and the right words will come naturally. Here are a few ideas:
- Welcome Them: “We are so glad you’ve chosen us as your parents. You are a gift to our lives.”
- Express Joy: “We are excited to see the world through your eyes and experience life together.”
- Affirm Connection: “You are safe, loved, and deeply connected to us.”
These conversations are like a dialogue with the divine—the God within you speaking to the God within your baby.
Creating a Lifetime of Connection
By fostering this connection early, you set the stage for a lifetime of emotional strength and self-awareness for your child. Start the conversation now and nurture a relationship rooted in love, clarity, and support.

Your baby listens. Speak with love, and they will carry that love with them always.
