In this episode, you’re invited into an honest, empowering conversation about sexual wellness, pelvic health, and hormones, and why they matter far beyond the bedroom. Suneera Madhani and her guest Allison Germundson explore why your body is a leadership skill, how stress and hormones quietly shape your energy and decisions, and why pleasure is not something to feel ashamed of.

(10:16) Why many women are responders, not initiators, and how that affects desire. (12:15) How understanding your anatomy changes pleasure, communication, and confidence. (14:21) Why relaxation—not control—is essential for orgasm and multiple orgasms. (21:10) How perimenopause, hormones, and brain fog impact performance and decision-making.
