Ep 150 Description:  “Pleasure is not a luxury. It is not a distraction. It is a human right. And reclaiming it—in childbirth, in healthcare, in life—is a path toward healing,  well-being, and activism.” —Debra Pascali Bonaro   Our bodies are intricate landscapes of sensation, where hormones dance, nerves communicate, and physiological responses intertwine in ways we're only beginning to understand. And these same pathways that create sexual pleasure are remarkably active during childbirth, challenging centuries of medical narratives that have reduced this transformative moment to a clinical, painful procedure.  This week, Debra discusses her landmark article, Orgasmic Birth: The Anatomy of Pleasure in Childbirth, published in Frontiers in Global Women's Health Journal, delving into the science of orgasmic birth, systemic obstetric violence, reproductive justice, hormonal landscapes of pleasure, the anatomy of childbirth, cultural narratives of pain, bodily autonomy, and the transformative potential of reclaiming women's birthing experiences. Don't miss this groundbreaking episode!  

Ep 149 Description:  “Your birth is yours to shape— not in every detail as the baby has some too— but in energy, intention, and experience. You deserve to be heard. You deserve to be honored. You deserve a birth that reflects YOU, your power, your pleasure, and your love.” —Debra Pascali-Bonaro  Birth isn't just a medical event—it's a deeply personal journey where you hold more power than you realize. What if your birth experience could be transformed from a clinical procedure to a profound, empowering moment of connection? Imagine stepping into your birth with confidence, clarity, and the ability to shape an experience that honors your deepest desires. Tune in as Debra breaks down the essential roadmap for creating personalized birth preferences, revealing how to communicate effectively with your healthcare team, understand your provider's practices, explore holistic approaches beyond medical interventions, and ultimately reclaim your birth as a sacred, intentional experience that reflects your unique vision of bringing new life into the world.   Connect with Debra!

Ep 142 Description:  “Healing begins as you start honoring every aspect of your birth story and celebrate your wins. No one fails in birth. Sometimes, you have to dig deeper into that well of strength than you ever would have imagined prior. This is something to take pride in.” —Debra Pascali-Bonaro   The notion that hospitals inherently rob birthing individuals of their autonomy and joy is a limiting belief that deserves to be challenged. The reality is that, with the right mindset and preparation, a hospital birth can also be a deeply empowering and transformative experience. Explore the powerful intersection between pleasure and hospital birth as Debra shares tips on preparing for the big day, setting the mood for your birth room, advocating for your needs, coping with labor sensations, and welcoming your baby with grace and power.    Connect with Debra!

Ep 135 Description:  “Every birth is unique, so pleasure might look different for you than it does for someone else. The goal isn't to force a specific experience but to open yourself to the possibilities you.” —Debra Pascali-Bonaro   Birth and sex— two deeply intertwined experiences that hold the power to transform lives. Embracing their connection unlocks a world of possibilities, from joyful labors to empowered deliveries. Yet, the taboos surrounding this bond often leave us disconnected from our innate abilities to birth with pleasure. Hence, this episode aims to unpack the profound links between birth and sex, exploring the role of hormones, the significance of sexual organs, and the transformative potential of incorporating pleasure into the birthing journey.  Tune in as Debra invites us to rewrite the narrative of childbirth!  Connect with Debra!

We've all heard stories about birth. Maybe you've heard your own birth story from your parents. And if you are pregnant or have children of your own, you have definitely heard several birth stories, even from strangers! Some of those stories are good, and some are not so good. Unfortunately, it seems like the not-so-great and even scary birth stories are the ones that are told the most. As a doula who helps families have better birth experiences, this breaks my heart. What we hear can form a belief about how birth is and what it can be. Imagine if you only heard stories about birth being beautiful, empowering, even pleasurable, and orgasmic. What an impact that would make! My guest today knows all about this and is chatting with us about orgasmic birth and what expecting families need to know. Who is Debra Pascali-Bonaro?

In this episode, we chat with Debra about orgasmic birth and tips and secrets to create more love and intimacy in birth and parenting. Here are several of the questions that we covered: How did you become passionate about the birthing experience?  Childbirth and sex can both be taboo subjects. Why do you think this is, and how can we change this narrative?  Can you elaborate more on the connection between childbirth and sex?  What is orgasmic birth? And is it real? Why should pregnant people include intimacy and sexuality in preparing for birth?  What can women do during pregnancy to help prepare for a positive birth experience?   What role does a partner play in this experience?  How can a doula help facilitate a pleasurable birth experience?  What are your top tips for ensuring an enjoyable and pleasurable birth?  What are the benefits of an orgasmic birth?  The narrative around birth is often that it is painful and scary, but I have heard you say it is powerful and can be pleasurable. How can we empower more women to approach birth with this mindset?  How do you recommend women continue to connect to their intimacy during the postpartum period?

Female sexual nature is reflected in the birthing process Discovering the sexuality of childbirth Trust your body in a new way, in a new place, and allow yourself to have an orgasmic birth  Key Takeaways: There is a connection physiologically between sexual activity and birth When women are aroused, they release oxytocin even without physical stimulation and at the moment of birth, it is 10 times higher than at any other point in a woman's life. There are a few ways that birth and sex are very much alike -People don't know how long it will last, and they don't know what awaits them at the end Bringing awareness of the plateaus while you're making love is a good start. Give yourself the time to pause, regroup, hesitate, and stumble.  Tweetable Quotes: “In midwifery care, what we really emphasize is not the time but the well-being of the mother and baby.” - Elizabeth Davis “You don't do birth, it does you.” - Elizabeth Davis Connect with Elizabeth Davis Website: https://elizabethdavis.com/ Facebook: https://m.facebook.com/elizabeth.davis.98622/  Connect with Debra!

At the top of the hour, join me as I interview Robert Moss and his approach called ACTIVE DREAMING, an original synthesis of contemporary dreamwork and shamanism.  We'll discuss if the departed communicate with us in our dreams, if we can lead alternate lives in our dreams, dreaming the future, dream archaeology, nightmares, and if dreams can connect us to our ancestral wisdom.  I'll ask Robert what he means by "living by coincidence" and if dreaming can help us heal. Then in the second part of the show, we've rescheduled Elizabeth Davis author of Women's Sexual Passages: Finding Pleasure and Intimacy at Every Stage of Life and Orgasmic Birth: Your Guide to a Safe, Satisfying and Pleasurable Birth Experience.  YIKES!  Who would have thought that was possible!  Among the things we'll discuss are how sexual desire changes during the monthly cycle and menopause, if contraception modifies normal fluctuations in desire, the role of ritual in women's lives and studies that provide insight into the benefits of having or denying ourselves a healthy sexual life.
