Ep 110 Description: “Not only do people deserve a safe birth and a respectful birth, but every person deserves a day that brings you joy.” —Debra Pascali-Bonaro Tragically, pleasure has long been a missing piece in the modern birthing experience. Too often, birthing people are made to feel that expressing or even acknowledging their sexual or pleasurable feelings during labor is taboo or inappropriate. This harmful mindset not only robs individuals of the profound joy and empowerment that can arise during birth but also contributes to a culture of disrespect and trauma surrounding one of life's most sacred events. Therefore, this week's reflection is centered on the importance of reclaiming pleasure as a fundamental aspect of the birthing experience. Tune in as Debra shares her passionate insights on challenging the societal taboos around sexuality and sensuality in birth and her vision for a radical transformation of maternity care that prioritizes the holistic well-being of birthing individuals. Plus, discover resources that can help you celebrate your body, your baby, and your birth. Connect with Debra!
