Episode 51: The Hidden Key to Sexual Wellness with Kristina Hanson

Episode 51 - Kristina Hanson, pelvic floor physical therapist and founder of Uplift Pelvic Health & Wellness, joins us to explore the physical, emotional, and social dimensions of female sexuality. If sex has ever felt painful, disconnected, or simply not like it “should,” you are not alone—and you are not broken. In this eye-opening and compassionate conversation, Kristina offers clinical insight, hopeful strategies, and gentle guidance for reconnecting with your body, reigniting intimacy, and reclaiming your own definition of sexual wellness. We discuss the anatomy of arousal, the surprising complexity of female sexuality, how trauma (big and small) can live in the pelvic floor, and why communication and consent—especially with yourself—are critical to feeling safe and experiencing pleasure again. This is a must-listen for anyone who’s ever felt dismissed, disconnected, or unsure where to begin.  Connect with Kristina online at https://upliftphw.com and on Instagram @upliftpelvichealthandwellness Listen to Kristina's first episode on the Uplift For Her Podcast: Episode 15: Pelvic Floor Physical Therapy with Kristina Hanson Recommended lubricant: Coconu Organic Personal Lubricant – safe, clean, and body-friendly.
