I started out in medicine as a registered nurse in 1985. I loved my fast-paced life in the critical care world, working with patients in the intensive care unit and really connecting with them and their families. I found I was good at helping those who were in crisis. However, I also found that people were slipping between the cracks with all of the various medical “specialties” and “specialists.” During this time, I was diagnosed with Rheumatoid Arthritis (RA), an “incurable autoimmune disease.” I felt trapped and betrayed by my own body. I then felt trapped by my medical system when I was presented with the standard immune-modulating and anti-inflammatory drugs as my only options. I was told that diet and stress levels had nothing to do with my disease. I examined my body, mind, heart, and spirit for clues to my disease. In the process of my research and inquiry into the “WHY” of my disease, I discovered Ayurveda. Ayurvedic medicine is an ancient science that encompasses all of these aspects of health: body, mind, heart, spirit, and story. Within one year of changing lifestyle habits from each of the four areas of my WHOLE being, I was free of autoimmunity. Tests could find was no sign of RA in my blood. According to Western medicine, this was impossible. I discovered I had only been trapped by my lifestyle choices and how they impacted my genetics. Shortly thereafter, I discovered Functional Medicine and realized this was a model that took the precepts of Ayurveda and translated them into Western language for the modern person. Ever since, I have been using what I now call the Freedom Framework to find and fix the root causes of blocks in my patients’ physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual energy—while listening to their stories.

Well, the last episode of my podcast was about pregnancy and sexuality, and it seemed to make sense to go right into the next obvious topic, which is postpartum sexuality. Talk about a lot of change to adjust to! You’ve got not only the physical impact of carrying and birthing a baby, but you’ve got the emotional, the psychological, and the relational impacts as well. Life is not the same once you’ve had a baby. It’s a complex time with a lot of changes and challenges. You’re going to be exhausted. You’re going to be focused on the baby. You’re going to have trouble getting the bandwidth to take care of other things in your life right away. You’ve got the transition of your role with your partner now that you’re a mom or a dad. Everything is different, and it really can throw your sex life for a loop. The physical changes are often expected and anticipated, but the psychological challenges are hard to imagine ahead of time. Not only do you probably need to wait some amount of time before you resume sex, that’s just before you are allowed to resume sex. Then there’s the issue of when do you want to? How do you get back in a state of mind where you want to engage physically with your partner? How do you nurture that? How do you communicate about it with your partner? Do hormones play a role in all of this? There’s a lot of transition to go through. Tammy Senn is a certified nurse midwife and a women’s health nurse practitioner and she’s practicing in central Maryland. She’s got over 20 years of experience guiding women through pregnancy, birth and new motherhood and working with families in those same stages of life. She provides reproductive and gynecologic care for women of all ages, and she’s received advanced training in sexual concerns, including evaluation and treatment as well as counseling and education. I think she’s the perfect person to talk about everything that happens when you add the baby to the family: the impacts on sex, what you can expect (although there’s not just one thing to expect) and what you can do about it. We talk about how a six-week check-in is based more on tradition than evidence and is only a guideline. This leads us to cover how there is no “normal” and that it is important to listen to your body. Everyone is different. You will be ready when you feel ready. We also cover some postpartum depression issues, including how it can often manifest in the partner, and how awareness and early communication are key to addressing any issues before they grow. Tammy will be a presenting an educational session entitled Beyond the Pink Pill: A Step-wise Approach to Female Disorders of Desire and Arousal, at the Annual Meeting of the American College of Nurse-Midwives in May of this year.

I am joined by Jeff who shares his journey from addict to working with drug abusers on the streets, letting them know that there is hope. Jeff’s story begins in his early teens when, having been raised by missionary parents in a poor family environment, he rebelled against his religious upbringing. He began dealing drugs, rejecting his family, turning to gangs and inevitably got caught in a vicious circle. Jeff faced major spiritual and emotional questions during this period in his life and he shares his dark and heavy journey when he believed that gangs, drugs, and prison would always be his life. Looking back now he honestly claims, “I didn’t give a sh*t! I just cared about getting high.” Choices: The statistics are terrifying, and that’s just the reported figures, in this episode Jeff explains how drug addiction can affect anyone, from all walks of life, it is not planned, “nobody wants to be a drug addict when they grow up,” however it is those initial choices that you make that impact your life. “It was a choice for me to use when I first used, but it became a disease when I couldn’t choose not to use it anymore,” explains Jeff who now works on the streets with people that have been caught in this desperate cycle like he once was. It is his passion, he understands their stories because he has lived it too. Giving Back: As an ex-addict, Jeff provides parents with clear recovery options and for the past 4 years has followed his clients through their recovery. He points out the growing drug-user population in the States that need help to become sober again but it takes such a massive amount of work, time and sacrifice. Jeff sees his work as giving back. Helping others through addiction is his passion and his way of making up for his past while living on a humble income. He wants to help people that are lost and out on the streets saying “the desperation is so much more impactful.” The Bigger Picture: This episode deals with questions about how to educate the kids that are being drawn into this life, teaching parents how to cope but also asks how the State can help more, how can America not be able to take care of its people? We discuss the benefits and pitfalls of rehab centers, prison and the approach of the court system to releasing addicts back onto the streets to continue their downward spiral with no support. Helping Hand: One of the things Jeff is very clear on is, “never give money”, this will only be spent on drugs. He points us to some really useful information on free resources and tells us all about an organization close to his heart Operation Healthy Hearts who give food, hygiene, clothes etc. to people in exchange for tasks. “This is not a handout…it’s a hand up!” If you would like to connect with Jeff and his team see the details below. There is hope, you just need to take the first step.

Today’s topic is pregnancy and sexuality. It’s just not talked about very often, and if you have been pregnant or if you have been a partner with somebody that’s pregnant, you may have noticed that the doctors often don’t ask or talk about sex. It’s uncommon for medical providers to inquire about any sort of sexual changes that you’re having, the state of your relationship with your partner, or how things are going sexually once sex has been used to make the baby. There’s a void of information and void of support for people that are experiencing a pregnancy and wondering what in the world’s going on with their sex life. Not that everybody has problems. Some people coast through pregnancy with ease. But physical, emotional, and psychological changes happen, and there are some themes to the challenges that people face. My guest today, Aleece Fosnight, is a sexual medicine, urology and women’s health physician assistant in western North Carolina. She is nationally certified by AASECT, the American Association of Sexuality Educators, Counselors, and Therapists as a sexuality counselor and educator, and her specialty includes treating all manner of sexual dysfunctions and concerns, providing sexual health, education information and personalized counseling to patients of all ages. She works a lot in the urology clinic but also in an Ob-Gyn facility, so I’m delighted that she’s here to talk to us today about pregnancy, sexuality, the medical and physical changes that people go through, understanding what they’re facing, and some do’s and don’ts about sex when you’re pregnant. We also discuss how people can enhance their sexuality during pregnancy. We cover some of the more common changes and challenges, but we also touch on some surprising outcomes, such as how couples trying to have a baby can find themselves experiencing more distance. How does this happen? The sex can become goal-oriented, toward making a baby and not toward experiencing pleasure or building closeness. As with many sexual challenges within a relationship, communication can be key to managing tough times.

Julie wanted to develop a product that helped women in their 20’s-50’s gain healthy looking skin while using natural products. Many women of this age have skin problems that include oily and dry skin that can cause many skin problems. Julie believes the natural solution is best and warns of some of the harsher products on the shelves today can do more damage than good. Julie is an entrepreneur who sees a need in the marketplace and finds a way to fill it. She is releasing her new product to market later this year to help replenish nutrition to the skin to give a healthier result than the products on the market today.

I give a lot of thought to what makes a great sex life. What makes us sex life healthy, what makes it enjoyable for people, what makes it fulfilling? When I consider the kinds of things that matter, I think about the ability to slow down and be present in the moment. I think about the ability to tune into your body and to know what you want in that moment. Not just abstractly, like if I asked you at breakfast what you wanted for dinner, but what do you want right now? It’s equally important to know what you don’t want. Not just knowing what your boundaries are, but also how do you recognize what is making you uncomfortable or that something isn’t pleasing right now? And then how do you speak up about that? It’s crucial that you’re able to communicate with a partner in order to ask for what you want (and to speak up about what you don’t) to negotiate and collaborate with them. Another important aspect of better sex is the ability to enjoy the journey. So, instead of being goal oriented or focused on performance or on an outcome, to have better sex, you’ve got to just enjoy what you’re doing in the moment with the partner. You’re fully present. You’re not in a hurry. There’s no test that you pass or fail at the end of it. Those are critical components of good sex. This is not an exhaustive list, but it is a good starting point for what I work with people to accomplish in their intimate lives. There are a lot of professions that help people with this. So, while I do this as a sex therapist, other mental health counselors work with people around some of these issues. Massage practitioners are working with people around touch and just being in their body. I had an earlier episode of Better Sex with a Tantric Healer who’s explicitly working with people around what they want, communicating consent, boundaries, and presence. And it turns out I’ve learned about a new profession, or at least new to me, of people that that help with these issues and skills. I met Anna Joy Reedy, who is my guest today, through a colleague, and I was really struck by how warm and sincere she is. As we talked about what she does, I was fascinated, so I invited her on the show. She is a professional Cuddlist. She has a philosophy degree that she’s put to use as an entrepreneur, and she is enthusiastically pioneering this new frontier of touch therapy as a Cuddlist. This is something she’s fascinated by and really moved to share with people. She’s really interested in all things somatic and she told me she’s got lots of, “not yet birthed writings” in the works too. She’s got a lot to share and I’m just delighted that she’s on the show with me today. We talk about what a professional cuddler does and what you can expect in a session. We also answer the question, “Is it ever sexual?” and cover safety concerns. And, most importantly we talk about the healing power of platonic touch. Proven to help reduce chronic pain and depression, while boosting immunity and enhancing mood, platonic touch and cuddling can positively impact overall wellness. Much like yoga, meditation, and mindfulness, professional therapeutic touch is healing and transformative.

I often hear from clients about how much they struggle when they’re different from each other. In the beginning, we were attracted to this other way of being. We were interested because this person was so different from us. But what  intrigued us in the beginning is what often drives us nuts later in the relationship. So even though opposites attract, they can run into misunderstanding and frustration later. Sometimes I hear, “I want to be spontaneous and my partner always needs everything planned and scheduled.” Or, “I want to have sex to feel connected. That’s how I feel connected to my partner.” While the other person is saying, “I need to feel connected first before I’m going to want to have sex with you.” Or, when something is wrong in the relationship,there are people that want to dig in and solve it right away and make sure they’re coming to a resolution with their partner and that they’re both feeling good. But their partner may be of the type that needs to go away and process internally and doesn’t want to come back and address the issue until they have it worked out in their mind. These are just some examples of how different people can be from their partner in ways that can cause  problems. So, I thought it might be fascinating to have a guest on who specializes in personality type assessment come in and talk about how personality type might impact your sex life. In this episode, we talk about how personality type is really just about energy, where we give our best energy and where we get our best energy. Jessica says that types are on a continuum or scale, that it’s not an “either/or” scenario. You aren’t an introvert or an extrovert, but a combination of both, maybe leaning towards one side. So, you’re more introverted or tend to be more extroverted. In our discussioni, we try to figure out the different ways people show up on this particular assessment and how that might show up in a relationship and specifically with sex. This just gives you another way to think about the differences between you and your partner. How neither person is wrong or broken, but how you have to work together with a different person and make a sex life in a relationship that’s going to work for both of you. My special guest today is Jessica Butts. She is the CEO and founder of FrontSeatLife.org, where she inspires, motivates and educates people to live their life from what she calls their “front seat,” using their innate personality type as measured by the Myers-Briggs. She calls herself a retired psychotherapist since she’s not in practice anymore, and she’s now a life and business coach and Myers-Briggs expert who is on a mission really to inspire other people to accomplish magnificent things by embracing their innate type. And one thing you’re going to hear her say is to be unapologetically who you are. She’s passionate about personal development, traveling, deep connections with people in her life and helping create a hose for her clients. And I’m so delighted that she’s agreed to come on the show and talk to us about Myers-Briggs and sex.

As I was putting the podcast together, I put out a little survey to my subscribers asking what kinds of topics people wanted me to cover. While it is not the most frequent presenting concern in my practice, the most frequent request I got in terms of what to talk about on the show was menopause. I see people in my practice who are dealing with menopause when it is problematic in some way. People report reduced libido, and they talk about changes in their ability to get aroused or be orgasmic. People are sometimes having changes that result in discomfort or pain with sex, so they want to talk about what’s happening and to strategize about what kind of things can be improved. We also talk about what kinds of things they may have to change and how to collaborate with their partner to create a really fulfilling sex life over time. My guest on this episode is going to talk about how people experience the changes of menopause in varying degrees. While most women will experience some of these changes, some people are more bothered by the changes than others. We cover what the symptoms are, subtle for some and intense for others. We explain what’s happening in your body, what some of the treatment options are, and what you need to keep in mind as you’re working with a medical provider in choosing a treatment. We also talk about how important it can be to step up your self-care and overall health as you approach menopause if you haven’t done it already. Dr. Stephanie Ring is a gynecologist and an Integrative Medicine practitioner who specializes in sexual health, hormone replacement, and chronic pelvic pain. Her practice, Greater Denver Integrative Gynecology is located in Wheat Ridge, Colorado and she’s also a fellow of the American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists. She’s also earning a certificate as a sexuality counselor through the University of Michigan so I’m delighted that she’s here to answer my questions, and yours, about menopause.

So why is today’s show about sex therapy? Well, because I’m a certified sex therapist and I know that a lot of people listening don’t know what that means. There is confusion about what sex therapy is and what a sex therapist does. And there’s confusion or lack of knowledge about what it takes to become certified as a sex therapist. As you’re going to hear in the interview today, calling yourself a sex therapist is not a controlled term except in the state of Florida. So anybody can say they’re a sex therapist. However, there’s a huge difference between the people with the training, experience, and knowledge who’ve gotten certified as a sex therapist and everyone else who calls themselves a sex therapist. With them. you have no idea what kind of training, education, or experience that they’ve had. So in this episode, I address the questions: What is sex therapy? What does it take to become certified and why does it matter? I think I’ve got the perfect guest today to talk about this, Sallie Foley is a sex therapist and a sexuality educator. We talk candidly about what sex therapy is, and isn’t. Sallie and I also discuss many of the issues and challenges couples may have where a therapist may be able to help and what treatment may look like. We also give you, the listener, some guidance and when you might need a sex therapist and where you can find a highly qualified and certified provider. Sallie’s the director of the University of Michigan Sexual Health Certificate Program and the former director of the University of Michigan Center for Sexual Health. She’s also served as the Chair of Certification for the AASECT Organization, the American Association of Sexuality Educators Counselors and Therapists. She’s got a private practice in Ann Arbor Michigan and she has written chapters and articles about the treatment of sexual difficulties and co-authored Sex Matters for Women: A Complete Guide to Taking Care of Your Sexual Self. Her book, Modern Love: A No-Nonsense Guide to a Life of Passion was based on her column “Modern Love” in the nationally circulated AARP the Magazine.

SPECIAL ANNOUNCEMENT: Listen for more information! This episode is part of a mini-series with Chad, a deep dive into some of the core questions and challenges surrounding addiction in some families. During this episode, we continue the conversation about enabling, what it is, and how we may play a role in our loved one’s addiction as a possible enabler. We also provide tips which may help family members to stop enabling the addict. If you are doing things for your adult son or daughter that is interrupting the natural flow of consequences, then you may be enabling. Take an honest evaluation and assessment of how you are contributing to their behavior… But, before you feel bad if you think you may be enabling, it’s not just you. There are likely a lot of other people and organizations that are helping this addict get high. If you have questions or topics you’d like Chad and I to discuss on future episodes, please send your suggestions to [email protected]. About Chad: Chad works in Admissions and Outreach at Habilitat, Inc. – a long-term (2-year) residential addiction treatment and vocational training program in Hawaii.

This is the first episode of a 6 part mini-series with Chad, a deep dive into some of the core questions and challenges surrounding addiction in some families. Be sure to tune into Part 2 for an exciting announcement you won’t want to miss!! So, what is enabling? As parents, we always want to do what’s best for our children. It’s always been that way. But, are we helping or are we enabling? Are we making it easy for them to make poor or good choices? Ask yourself, “How can I enable my child to do the right thing?” First, it’s important to recognize the signs and beware of the “land mines.” Try not to get caught up in the addict’s timeline and if needed, take a “time out” for yourself so you can get some support. It can be helpful to prepare in advance for the difficult conversations and go into them with some “go to” phrases. Watch for the manipulation, and remember saying “No” is okay, it doesn’t mean you are being a bad parent.

It can be extremely hard to get out of your own head. People get distracted by their to-do list, by stresses of life, what they must do for work. They’re distracted by concerns that are keeping them up at 4:00 in the morning. A lot of people, even if they aren’t distracted, are so used to thinking and analyzing, it’s called being up in your head instead of in your body. And the ability to drop into your body and be present and feel what you’re feeling and be in the moment it’s important. And it’s certainly important in sex and in connecting with a partner. There are practices like mindfulness, which is popular, learning to meditate, learning to get into your body, learning to let go of thoughts. Those are powerful. But another thing along those lines is Tantric practice. Most of us think about Tantra as some sort of mysterious sexual training or activity but it’s really about getting out of your mind and into your body and into the moment and connecting intimately with yourself and with other people. Tantric practitioner and teacher Matthias Rose has a wealth of knowledge and experience and a passion for sharing this with people. He and his wife Pandora Rose sort of discovered Tantra on their own. They kind of tripped into it having sort of mystical experiences with each other and their own sexual relationship. And from there it opened their eyes to “where is this coming from, how do we learn more about this?” He went on to learn a lot about Tantra and get more formal training in it. He’s based in Seattle and he offers events and workshops. He’s got a community space and he does private coaching and healing sessions with people and he agreed to be on the show today.

Stephanie Myer, as The Martyr Coach, helps people reclaim their identity and higher purpose so they can stop the self-imposed suffering and start their truth-telling journey. In her work, she partners with clients to come up with the specific program to meet them where they are at and begin to live life in alignment with who they truly are and always have been at their core. Not who they think they should be for others, or unintentionally taking on traits of others around them. Unfortunately, many people choose to suffer, not consciously, but somewhat automatically. A martyr tends to be someone who is so intent on helping to try and fix or help others, they neglect their own self-care. This allows the martyr’s internal “garden” to become trampled and damaged, which they then guard, blocking out the good with the bad. The martyr then tires of tending their own garden and puts their focus on tending someone else’s, to the detriment of both. Stephanie explains the Dreaded Drama Triangle as first articulated by Dr. Stephen Karpman in the 1960’s, which describes the different roles of the Victim, the Rescuer, and the Persecutor. She also goes into detail regarding the power of the positive alternative, The Empowerment Dynamic (TED), with the roles focusing on the Creator, the Challenger, and the Coach. TED allows you to choose to not be a victim and makes room for positive mindset shifts to happen. Understanding how these can directly correlate with moms and parents challenged by addiction within their families can help them recognize dysfunctional behaviors and attitudes, which will help set them free to live beyond hope.
