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.

“The way to start to feel comfortable with it in birth is to become comfortable with the vibrator before your birth.” —Molly Moon

Molly Moon is a yoga teacher, doula, and sacred songstress who brings the timeless wisdom of the feminine into her work. Her passion for guiding spiritual awakening has been reignited by the birth of her own child, inspiring her to explore nature-based education

Orgasmic Birth Story Series

Ep 147 Description:

"Work with pleasure. Find ways to feel pleasure. Don't start thinking about it when you are eight months pregnant. Start from day one or even before getting pregnant when you decide you want to have kids, because it's such a long way to to deconstruct this patriarchal myths that have been interjected into our unconscious since we are children." —Guta Galli

Sexuality and childbirth are not separate experiences, but a continuous, sacred dance of feminine energy. The same neural pathways that create sexual pleasure can guide us through the most intense moments of bringing life into the world where every contraction carries the potential for a deeply sensual, transformative experience that challenges everything we've been told about childbirth.

Guta Galli is an interdisciplinary artist who fearlessly deconstructs societal myths about female sexuality and childbirth through her multimedia work. She creates visual narratives that challenge traditional medical perspectives and celebrate the profound, often unexplored dimensions of women's embodied experiences.

Tune in as Debra and Guta explore how women can deconstruct cultural fears, embrace self-stimulation, prepare mentally for birth, and transform labor into a powerful, orgasmic, and deeply connected experience.
