About this listen

Content Warning: This episode includes discussion of sexual violence, trafficking, systemic abuse of power, reproductive rights, and medical trauma. Please listen with care and tend to yourself as needed.

In this episode of Transformed by Birth, I'm joined by somatic practitioner, embodiment coach, feminist health care advocate, and full-spectrum doula Pamela Samuelson for a courageous and deeply grounded conversation about bodily sovereignty in this cultural moment.

Together, we explore what it means to trust your body when systems of power undermine that trust. We talk about the continuum between reproductive rights, beauty standards, sexual violence, medical paternalism, and the subtle ways we are taught to doubt our own sensations.

Pam shares how reclaiming anatomy, touch, and embodied authority is not just personal work, but cultural resistance. We explore how self-trust is built through sensation, relationship, and community, and why becoming a parent can both expose and strengthen our roots.

This conversation is an invitation to remember: your body is not property, it is yours.
