Dear Reader, As this beautiful year comes to a close, I’ve been reflecting on all the wisdom, laughter, and transformation we’ve shared through the Orgasmic Birth Podcast. 🌸 Each conversation this year has reminded me that birth — like life — is meant to be safe, sacred, and full of pleasure. Thank you for listening, sharing, and continuing to reimagine what’s possible in birth and beyond.
Here are the 5 episodes you loved most in 2025 — each one a doorway to more trust, power, and joy in your birthing journey: 🌺 1. The Anatomy of Pleasure in Childbirth Discover the science of pleasure — how the same hormones, nerves, and muscles that bring erotic pleasure also guide the body in birth. A favorite for anyone ready to explore the deep physiology of joy and intimacy in labor.
Simple, body‑aware techniques that help babies slip out with ease. This episode shows how balance, movement, and gentle touch can transform birth outcomes — and remind us that birth works beautifully when we do less, not more.
Five accessible practices to melt fear, reframe pain, and awaken oxytocin. This one became a go‑to guide for parents and doulas alike who wanted to bring more calm, connection, and confidence to birth.
This bold, joy‑filled conversation broke taboos and opened hearts. From laughter to liberation, Molly reminds us that pleasure is medicine — and that self‑trust changes everything in the birth room.
A powerful invitation to release fear and reclaim freedom. Sara helps us see how the cultural obsession with risk steals joy — and how putting risk in perspective clears the path to trust, confidence, and pleasure in pregnancy and birth. Each of these episodes reflects what I love most about our community — curiosity, courage, and deep love for the miracle of birth. 💫
