Your Birth, Your Rights, Your Pleasure

POSTSLINKSPRODUCTS

Dear Reader,

Birth is meant to be a time of deep power, love, and transformation—and that is only possible when every woman and birthing person is truly seen, heard, and informed. When fear, misinformation, or rigid protocols override physiology and choice, people’s autonomy and dignity are the first things to disappear.

In this week’s episode, I share reflections from my recent time in Japan and weave them together with a powerful new open letter from midwives and birthworkers in the UK, calling for truth, respect, and human rights in childbirth. Together, they reveal how often pleasure, anatomy awareness, and bodily autonomy are missing from our conversations—and why bringing them back is essential for safer, more satisfying births.​

You’ll hear how:

  • Pleasure and safety are deeply connected, and how reclaiming pleasure in birth can expand your sense of power and choice.​
  • Human rights in childbirth are not abstract—they show up in informed consent, respectful language, and the ability to say yes and no throughout pregnancy and birth.​
  • Simple, clear anatomy education can transform decision-making, helping you understand what your body is doing and why.​
  • You can advocate for care that honors your physiology, your intuition, and your baby—while still making use of medical support when truly needed.​

If you are pregnant, a partner, or a birthworker, this episode will support you to claim more safety, more respect, and more pleasure in birth—without sacrificing evidence-based care.
