ORGASMIC BIRTH THE PODCAST: The Potent Birthing Body with Christine Marie Mason. May, 2024
“Your body belongs to you. Your body isn't for someone else's pleasure. It's not an ornament.” —Christine Mason
The female body undergoes profound changes during pregnancy and childbirth. As the womb expands to nurture new life, the body's shape and functions are transformed. However, societal attitudes have not always celebrated these transformations, with pregnant and postpartum women facing criticism and shame regarding their changing forms. In recent years, there has been a growing movement to reclaim the potent beauty and power of the birthing body. By reframing stretch marks as badges of motherhood and embracing the sensuality of breastfeeding, women are rediscovering the dignity and strength inherent to their reproductive experiences. In this episode, we are shifting the focus on loving and valuing the changing bodies of pregnant and postpartum women.
This week, Debra sits with Christine Mason, a mother, author, and founder of Rosebud Woman. Christine emphasizes the power of reconnecting with one's inner radiance to overcome societal objectification and fully step into the beauty and power of female reproduction. Tune in as Debra and Christine discuss the challenges with body image, ways to heal trauma and reconnect with one's body, practical tips and perspectives on caring for the physical changes of pregnancy and childbirth, as well as honoring the transformative role of motherhood.
