Ep. 147 - Birth Uncensored: Pleasure, Power & Fearless Birth

with Guta Galli

"Work with pleasure. Find ways to feel pleasure. Don't start thinking about it when you are eight months pregnant. Start from day one or even before getting pregnant when you decide you want to have kids, because it's such a long way to to deconstruct this patriarchal myths that have been interjected into our unconscious since we are children."

Welcome to Episode 147

Sexuality and childbirth are not separate experiences, but a continuous, sacred dance of feminine energy. The same neural pathways that create sexual pleasure can guide us through the most intense moments of bringing life into the world where every contraction carries the potential for a deeply sensual, transformative experience that challenges everything we’ve been told about childbirth. 

 Guta Galli is an interdisciplinary artist who fearlessly deconstructs societal myths about female sexuality and childbirth through her multimedia work. She creates visual narratives that challenge traditional medical perspectives and celebrate the profound, often unexplored dimensions of women’s embodied experiences.

Tune in as Debra and Guta explore how women can deconstruct cultural fears, embrace self-stimulation, prepare mentally for birth, and transform labor into a powerful, orgasmic, and deeply connected experience.
