Lina has surfaced from the liminal space of postpartum to get on the mic and share a Very Kinky Birth Story with you. No it was not a sexy, orgasmic birth but rather kink in the way we practice it around here — an all-encompassing way of holding your tenderest parts through all the huge shit life throws at you. Listen for the many analogues between births and scenes, lessons learned in the birth pool, and, as always, mantras for being kinder to ourselves along the way.
