What if birth wasn’t an ordeal from which women needed to be “delivered”?

What if instead, birth could be a spiritual experience; a journey that was transformational, transcendent, and even ecstatic?

To delve into these questions, I’m joined by the remarkable Yolande Norris-Clark. 

Better known as ‘Bauhaus Wife’ on social media, Yolande is a radical birth liberation activist who’s supported thousands of women to have the physiologic birth of their dreams. She’s also birthed all nine of her own children at home, culminating in an orgasmic birth with her ninth baby — something which I was incredibly keen to pick her brains about!

In this awe-inspiring conversation, we delve deep into Yolande’s personal story — including what it’s *really* like to birth nine babies at home, how she experienced intensity during her first eight births, and what finally changed for her ninth birth that allowed her to have a pain-free, orgasmic experience.

We also dig into the stuff that every woman needs to know about birth — like understanding the layers of social conditioning we’ve been subjected to, why you don’t need to be ‘special’ to have a pain-free or orgasmic birth, why birth is our spiritual inheritance, and how to tap into your own potential to have a blissful and orgasmic birth.

This conversation blew my heart and mind wide open, and I’m so excited for you to hear it. Whether you’ve journeyed through birth yourself, plan to in the future, or you’re just seeking a deeper appreciation for this profound rite of passage, then press play now… this one’s for you.
