Ep 149 Description:

"Women have the power to transform this world. If we really want to save our world and bring peace and prosperity, and harmony, we need to go the mother's way away from this male-dominated mode, which is not working. Let's save the world one orgasm at a time." —Ibu Robin Lim

Orgasmic Birth Story Series

Ep 162 Description:

"Try and change your mindset, because we're taught that birth is painful and hard and scary and can't be fun." —Tara Muckerheide

Vaginal Birth After Cesarean (VBAC) is more than a medical choice—it's a profound journey of bodily autonomy and healing. Every woman's birth story carries the potential to rewrite medical narratives that have historically limited her agency.

Tara Muckerheide transformed her birth experiences from medical trauma to empowered motherhood, challenging medical assumptions after two cesarean sections. Through midwifery care and a deep commitment to understanding her body, she successfully achieved two transformative vaginal births, proving that women's birthing experiences can be reclaimed and redefined.

Tune in as Debra and Tara dive deep into a raw, inspiring conversation exploring pleasure-centered birthing, midwifery support, overcoming medical trauma, the power of mindset, partner involvement, and strategies for creating a joyful, empowering birth experience.

Ep 161 Description:

"If we were born in a loving way into the world, that will change the future generations." —Magaly Buitrago

The moment of birth exists in a liminal space between worlds, where science and mystery intertwine. No technology can fully capture the mystery of bringing human life into existence. And in this critical moment, women become portals of creation, simultaneously vulnerable and invincible.

Magaly Buitrago, aka "La-Maga", is a Colombian-born doula and spiritual guide. Magaly's profound near-death experience during childbirth completely transformed her understanding of life, death, and human potential. Her extraordinary journey from a near-fatal birth to becoming an international birth empowerment specialist reveals the incredible resilience of the feminine spirit.

Tune in as Debra and Magaly dive deep into Magaly's orgasmic birth and spiritual awakening, overcoming birth fears, the connection between sexuality and spirituality, and how positive birth narratives can potentially heal generational trauma.
