This is key." \u2014Anna Lundqvist What if the very thing you\u2019ve been taught to fear about birth could actually be powerful\u2014even pleasurable? If you\u2019ve ever wondered why your desires for a calm, connected, or sacred birth feel "too much" or "too radical," you\u2019re not alone. In a world where women are told to numb, silence, and surrender their bodies to systems, reclaiming joy in birth isn\u2019t just brave\u2014it\u2019s revolutionary and rebellious. Anna Lundqvist is a former midwife and the founder of Sacred Birth International, where she mentors birth workers and empowers women through education on physiological, sacred birth. With decades of experience witnessing both clinical and intuitive birth practices, Anna offers grounded, spiritual insight into how women can birth with sovereignty and sensuality. Her global perspective and deep reverence for the feminine make this episode a transformative deep dive into what\u2019s possible when we invite pleasure into the birth space. Ready to challenge the narrative and rewrite your own birth story? Hit play to hear how reclaiming pleasure, presence, and power can change everything\u2014from the way you prepare for birth to the way you meet your baby. Expect real talk on orgasmic birth, embodied wisdom, the mind-body connection, and why choosing pleasure is the most rebellious act of all.   Connect with Debra!
