20: The Surprising Reason Childbirth Can Kill a Couple’s Eros with Eyla Cuenca


Listen Later

Today’s conversation with Eyla Cuenca, birthkeeper and one of Kelly’s best friends, goes along with other experiences in which Kelly has “become what she once judged,” this time, about the way she gave birth. She shares her feelings that homebirth can be an initiation into ourselves, the man-woman erotic relationship, and health freedom. Eyla shares why she chose to be in the antepartum, birth, and postpartum space, how she supports people in making grounded birth decisions, and how the introduction of men into a woman’s birth space has complicated the polarities that are necessary between partners during a birth in creating powerful eros to carry their family forward.


Today on Reclamation Radio:

  • Kelly’s change in perspective on childbirth from medical school to now
  • Kelly’s homebirth experience: An initiation into herself
  • Hospital vs. homebirth mythbusting: Guiding you back to your knowing to make grounded birth decisions
  • Hospital birth and free birth are both based on the same beliefs: The importance of releasing control
  • A man’s role in the historically women only event that is birth: Tapping into dominant and submissive polarities
  • Creating your own eros with your partner through giving birth in your power, out of the hospital
