Kali Rising: Pleasure, Power & a 10‑lb Home Birth in NYC ✨
|
Dear Reader, What if pleasure in birth wasn’t always soft and serene—but sometimes wild, roaring, and full of fire? In our latest Orgasmic Birth Podcast episode, Genevieve joins Debra to share the unforgettable story of birthing her 10‑pound baby at home in New York City—guided not just by sensuality, but by the fierce, transformative energy of Kali. Throughout her pregnancy, Genevieve and her partner made daily pleasure a non‑negotiable, enjoying juicy, connected sex and a deeply intimate bond that carried them into birth. She expected a calm, meditative “orgasmic birth in the tub”… but when her baby began to descend, a completely different power came through—rage, vocalization, dancing, drumming, and an almost ecstatic relationship with intensity. In our conversation, Genevieve shares: We also talk about the midwifery care that held her through meconium, a stuck shoulder, and a blue‑toned baby—without ever stripping away her sense of safety, choice, or sovereignty. This is a story of devotion to presence, partnership, and pleasure, even when birth takes a very different path than you imagined. 🎧 Listen now to “Kali Rising: Pleasure, Power & Birth in NYC with Genevieve” on our blog and feel your own courage to meet birth exactly as it comes—soft, fierce, or both. Apple Love and pleasure, P.S. I have the perfect tool for your own empowered birth experience (or pleasure-filled postpartum), grab it here.
