On this episode of the Sick and Seeking Podcast I speak with coach and advocate Alyssa Truelove about what it’s like living with two chronic conditions: endometriosis and fibromyalgia.

We speak about:

• Alyssa’s diagnosis story and the shocking news she received at 19 years old that she has endometriosis.
• The importance of understanding that what you are feeling in your body is valid, even if your illness is invisible and others can’t see it

In today's episode, my guest and I talk about one of my favorite topics, SEX!

We get real and raw because we believe there needs to be more safe spaces to engage in healthy conversations about sex.
Is it painful or pleasurable? What are some of the causes of painful penetration? How do you work towards healing and having pleasurable sexual experiences?

We also dish about pelvic floor physical therapy, dilator therapy,  talk therapy, vaginal botox, and the financial burden that comes with healing, and more!

If this topic resonates with you, know that you're not alone and it's not your fault! You deserve healing and to experience pleasurable sex!!
