Join me to have deep conversations about breaking the taboos of Sexuality + Motherhood/Parenthood.

Want to have a positive birth experience even in the hospital? In this episode, labor and delivery nurse Jen Hamilton shares her wisdom for having a positive and pleasurable hospital birth. She provides tips on feeling safe and comfortable in the hospital environment, choosing your ideal support person, communicating your needs to your care team, and mentally preparing for the sensations of labor. It's time to erase fears and replace them with feel-good vibes. Get ready to enjoy birth on a whole new level!

Jen Hamilton's career as a labor & delivery nurse looks different than most other nurses in her field. With over 3 million TikTok followers, Jen Hamilton is using social media to transform maternal healthcare. Featured in news media like The New York Times and CNN, Jen's mission is to prevent birth trauma, dispel labor & birth myths, and empower patients with evidence-based information.

Are you aware of the benefits of our natural flow of hormones? In this eye-opening episode, midwife Marina Lembo shares her profound wisdom about birthing high - harnessing the power of our natural hormones to facilitate easier, safer births. She explains how activities like hugging, dancing, laughing, and relaxing prompt our bodies to release healthy hormones like oxytocin and endorphins. Meanwhile, common hospital interventions like restrictions on eating/drinking and separation from loved ones spike stress hormones like adrenaline, leading to complications. Marina details the cascading benefits of optimizing hormones during labor and birth, from easier breathing transitions to immediate breastfeeding success, stronger immunity, and even positive epigenetic effects. She delivers an empowering message: no matter what twists and turns a birth story takes, we can tap into our inner "pharmacy" to bathe our babies in hormonal health.

Marina Lembo is an Argentine Homebirth midwife, with 24 years of practice. 4300 assisted births. She is a TEDx speaker (2019). Translator of midwifery books (Spiritual Midwifery) and documentary films including our (Orgasmic Birth and Birth Story, Ina May, and The Farm Midwives). Founder and twice president of the Argentine Association of Independent Midwives. She Led the lobby to preserve home birth practice in midwifery regulation and started a national Birth centers network initiative. Marina is a Midwifery professor and Technical expert She is a National and international lecturer. Human rights in childbirth activist. Homeopath. Mom of 2 children born at home. We had the pleasure of reconnecting this June in Bali at the International Confederation of Midwives Congress where I was once again inspired by her passion and activism.

In This Episode:

• Midwife Marina Lembo explains how activities that make us feel good like hugging, dancing, and relaxation prompt the release of healthy hormones like oxytocin and endorphins into our bloodstream.

• Common hospital interventions like not allowing eating/drinking, and separating women from loved ones triggers increased stress hormones often leading to complications.

• Optimizing the natural flow of hormones facilitates labor progress and transitions, allows the intelligence of hormones to self-regulate pace and identify problems, and confers many benefits to the baby.

• Home births allow women to control their environment to lower stress and facilitate the unimpeded flow of natural hormones.

• Even high-intervention births can help repair a baby's hormonal health by using bonding behaviors like skin-to-skin, eye contact, hugging, and more.

Key Takeaways:

• You do not need to rely on machines or pills for healthy hormones - you can produce them naturally

• Harness pleasurable activities to release healthy hormones for a healthy birth

• Restrictions on normal behavior spike harmful stress hormones

• Natural hormone flow intelligently regulates labor and protects mom & baby

• Lowering stress facilitates healthy hormone release

• Bonding repairs a baby's hormones after difficult births

• Everyday behaviors boost helpful hormones

• Poor hormonal flows imprint for generations

Key Quotes:

"Many people think that they can get [a healthy pregnancy/birth] with all the machines and pills and checkups but in fact...when we do activities that we enjoy and when we relax, we are releasing these healthy hormones into our bloodstream." - Marina Lembo

"In some countries, being out of the hospital is related to poverty. [Natural] birth has worked for thousands of years in the history of humanity… Start being more open-minded." - Marina Lembo

"Taking care of a newborn, it's tough work. Anybody who has had a child knows that. So if you can get all the benefits of this natural cocktail of hormones, it helps a lot to make this work that it's really tough a little bit easier." - Marina Lembo

Orgasmic Birth Podcast: Pleasure in pregnancy, birth, and parenting. I believe pleasure is our birthright - from our sexuality, birth, parenting, and beyond, we can find pleasure when we create space for joy and intimacy in our lives. Join me to have deep conversations about breaking the taboos of Sexuality + Motherhood/Parenthood.

Listen to leading experts in sexuality, healing, and childbirth, as well as stories from new parents, doulas, doctors, midwives, and nurses. We will discuss how to positively prepare for childbirth and parenting by expanding love and intimacy in your life.

Discover the transformative power of pleasure in childbirth and parenting in this episode. Join host Debra Pascali Bonaro as she engages in a candid and enlightening conversation with Nicole Moore. Together, they explore how early life experiences can shape our perspectives on love, intimacy, and procreation, emphasizing that it's never too late to heal and rewrite our narratives. Nicole's journey, from embracing birth as a beautiful bounty to her profound work with the Birth Into Being Method, illustrates how cultivating pleasure can pave the way for an empowered pregnancy, birth, and postpartum experience, fostering a beautiful feedback loop with our children. Tune in now to gain insights on understanding your own imprints and finding the courage to assert yourself in this pivotal phase of life with Nicole Moore.

Nicole Moore is a Mother, gardener, performance artist, poet, and an outspoken, multi-passionate birth nerd. She has lived on and off-grid intentional community in the forest, by the sea, for the last 20 years, raising her kids and cultivating a deep trust in birth & life. Her mission is to help women and families know what is possible in birth, why it matters, and to help them access a blissful experience for themselves. (Along with all the associated gifts and side effects...) Nicole knows in her bones that birth can be beautiful because she is one of the 'lucky' ones who had incredible undisturbed birth experiences. She draws on these memories or imprints every day of her Mothering life.

Nicole's lived experience of birth as beautiful, bountiful, and full of potential as a doorway to healing - along with her 15 years of work with birth imprints (via the Birth Into Being Method) confirms her beliefs in birth as a tool of conscious evolution.

In This Episode:

• Nicole's mission - helping women and families access a blissful experience for themselves
• Nicole draws on her own undisturbed birth experience to help others heal and create new imprints
• Birth Into Being Method - a set of processes and exercises to help understand yourself and clear inhibiting patterns from the past
• For pregnant women, it can help create an environment for birth with privacy and safety
• It also prepares for motherhood by teaching how to hold boundaries when needed
• Acknowledge what is there in your past that needs to be healed, looked at, or strengthened
• Pleasurable birth is an opportunity to optimize a baby's neurological capacity for pleasure through oxytocin exposure

Key Takeaways:

• Learn to recognize old imprints and choose differently
• Make a change if your environment doesn't make you feel safe or comfortable
• We have the power to assert ourselves with family and hold boundaries around the care received
• Postpartum bliss is possible by reclaiming the need to prioritize yourself
• Birth is a doorway to healing, opening up the capacity for gifts for you and your family
