This episode marks part one of our first ever Sex Series! In honor of Scorpio Season, the holiday season, and the shifting of our environments and selves, we dive into some of the edgier and more taboo parts of life. This first episode features Lisa Chatham, a Naropa University professor and licensed Psychotherapist. We begin to unpack the very difficult to navigate conversation that is consent and discuss the not so black and white nature of it. Lisa brings brilliant psychological, developmental, and social information to the table to aid a well rounded discussion. Consent is a topic that requires much more than an hour long conversation so thank you for baring with us as we do our best to hit some major (and maybe some unpopular/controversial) points. I hope you enjoy, see you next time.

In this episode, April and Loren dive into the topic of SEX!  The women discuss how the sexual experiences they've had  throughout their lives have changed the way they communicate with their partners.
April admits that this is a very uncomfortable topic for her, but she knows Loren will offer her 'SEXpertise' on the subject.
Find out what the women really like, and also the things they are not a fan of.  

There will be no new episode next week.  The women will be taking the week off for Christmas.  They will be back with a BRAND NEW episode on New Year's Day.

Remember, you can now stream the entire season of "You, Me, & My Ex" on discovery +.

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!!
