Podcast appearances and mentions of joni edelman

In this episode of The Orgasmic Birth Podcast, Debra Pascali-Bonaro speaks with Joni Edelmann, a birth guide, educator, and former labor and delivery nurse who brings together science, sacredness, and decades of birth experience. Together, they explore how safety, nervous system regulation, privacy, and trust can create the conditions for ecstatic birth in any setting, including the hospital. Joni shares the story of her own births, including how her fifth birth became the first she experienced as truly not painful, but deeply intense, joyful, and transformative. She also reflects on how pregnancy, birth, trauma awareness, and support from trusted care providers can shape not only birth outcomes, but a person's sense of power and possibility. This conversation offers practical insight into: What safety really means in birth. How trauma can affect the nervous system and labor. Ways to support parasympathetic regulation. Why privacy, quiet, and trust matter so much. How to process birth experiences that were difficult or disappointing. Why the birth you dream of may be more possible than you think.  Joni also reminds listeners that choosing the right support team matters, and that people deserve care aligned with their values, goals, and vision for birth. Joni Edelman is a birth guide, educator, and former labor and delivery nurse who holds science and sacred at the same altar. With three decades of experience supporting birth in hospitals and homes, she helps families reconnect with the innate intelligence of the body and approach birth as a powerful, transformative, and potentially ecstatic experience. https://www.13moonsbirthwork.com Instagram  - https://www.instagram.com/13moonsbirth -- Review and follow the show—we'd love to hear how this episode inspired you!

Being fat-shamed by your doctor is not okay and yet many people feel as if they must accept this substandard level of care. We need to talk about not only what’s occurring behind closed doors but what people who have been fat-shamed by their care providers can do about it.  Writer and nurse, Joni Edelman, is my special guest this episode. She speaks from her experience as not only a nurse but also as a fat patient. We talk openly about what it feels like to be fat-shamed and how to be your own best advocate.  Know that you’re worthy of proper medical care and should always receive dignified care!
