Sex for Saints

This week I had the privilege of interviewing Valerie Schwalbe from Well Being Physical Therapy in Murray Utah, specializing in the pelvic floor. If you have pain during sex, pelvic pain, leaking of any type, pelvic floor strain, feeling the effects of childbirth (episiotomy, scar tissue, prolapse, discomfort) or help with athletic performance - this podcast is for you. I think this covers just about everyone. You will learn what your pelvic floor supports and why it is just as critical to have therapy for the pelvic muscles as much as you would need therapy for a knee after surgery, She and I also tap into some of the reasons for sexual pain - the physical as well as emotional. Her treatment aligns heart and mind with the body. What you are experiencing may be common - all your friends may have the same problem - but that doesn't mean it is normal. If you are in the Utah area, Valerie is seeing patients at Well Being Physical Therapy. https://www.wellbeingphysicaltherapy.com Or you can go to www.pelvicrehab.com to find a pelvic floor specialist in your area.

Today's podcast is packed with fun and valuable information. If you have children you already know there is a distinct difference in the way little boys and little girls perceive their bodies. Those differences tend to remain stuck in our brains into adulthood. I will share insight as to why that is and how you may be missing some of the greatest pleasures in your life - sexual arousal. You might be aroused and not even know it. Your brain just needs to catch up to what your body is already doing - because it knows how. Let's work together to fix that!

What is anxiety? What does it look like? How is it affecting your life - your partners life? In Podcast #108 I will take a look at anxiety and the possible side affects on your sex life. I share three main reasons anxiety may be interfering with your best life. Anxiety is an emotion that can take a physical as well as an emotional toll on you and your relationships. For some, there is a need for medication and a mental health advisor or doctor. But for many, it's about managing our thoughts. I will discuss the importance of becoming friends with our emotions, rather than running from them to alleviate anxiety in your life. It's possible - it really is.
