Ep 164 Description:

"The birthing process and the birthing journey is inherently a spiritual experience, and once we have divorced that spiritual aspect from child birthing, that's when we run into a lot of issues." —Zina Grace

Sometimes, the weight of old wounds and silence around sexuality can make it seem impossible to reclaim our sense of power and connection. There's a different way forward—one that honors our story and opens the door to healing.

Zina Grace's path weaves through deep personal loss, religious trauma, and a relentless search for meaning, leading her to help others transform pain into spiritual and erotic renewal, especially for Black women navigating birth and healing. Zina brings a bold, compassionate perspective on reclaiming pleasure and intuition as essential tools for empowerment.

Join in as Debra and Zina get real on breaking cycles of trauma, finding spiritual rebirth, and bringing pleasure back into birth and life—plus Zina's practical tips, stories, and the truth about black maternal health, intuition, and creating safe, loving spaces.
