We are heating things up today on the Slow Living Podcast. I am talking with Amy Rowan, The Suburban Sexologist!
"Why did you want to talk about sex?" This is a question that Amy hears all the time. People are always wondering what led her down this path. But Amy feels that she was born into it as her father was an OBGYN and mother a therapist.
Amy works with women and couples to help them have a healthy, long term relationship with sex. She wants everyone to be able to build trust and communication to have a thriving sex life with their partner.
We are talking about:
Can you re-create the desire you had for your partner from when you first started dating?How to make scheduling sex funHow to make things exciting again in your relationship
Amy has devoted her life to creating a safe and welcoming space for people to come and learn.

Let's talk about love!
There are all different kinds of love. But one of the most important ones is self love. In today's episode I am talking about how you need to love yourself unconditionally.
Something that I do is create love notes for myself. It's a great way to give yourself positive affirmations. For you, I have created Love Notes with an emphasis on YOU! If you would like your own Love Notes - you can find them HERE!
Our upbringing and our relationships with our parents can leave us feeling unfulfilled. Your emotional needs may not have been met to the fullest.
If you feel that you need to work on your inner child, here are some books that I recommend:
Lindsay Gibson's "The Adult Children of Emotionally Immature Parents"
Jonice Webb "Running on Empty"

Today's episode came to me in the middle of the night (yes literally!) and I had to share it with you. I want to talk about diet culture and some of the pressures that you can have from society around diets.
The number one thing I want you to take away from this episode is the need for self love! The love you have for yourself needs to be complete and total unconditional love. Even though the scale might not be the number you want or your favorite pair of pants don't fit like they use to, the most important thing to remember is to love yourself unconditionally.
In my coaching, I talk about health at every size with my clients. Because health is not just the number on the scale, it is also how you feel inside. Are you able to take your dog on a walk? Are you able to play with your kids or grandkids? Health is about so much more than the physical appearance.
When it comes to food, I don't cancel anything out. I believe in balance and lifiving life! However, I do have an acronym for "DIET" that I use every day - Do I Eat This? I ask myself how will it make me feel? This is something that has helped me in my personal journey!

Today I want to share with you a little into on women's health. I have some episodes coming up that are going to dive deeper into these topic. So I wanted to get us ready for that!
Recently, I watched the Barbie movie and it really triggered something in me that I wanted to share. There is a speech in the movie that highlights the expectations that we have as women.
These expectations may not be fair but they are what we face daily. And it is important to learn how to move past them as a woman.
I am also excited to share some stories that YOU all have shared with me about your personal health journeys!
If you want more information on women's health, take a listen to these previous episodes!

Today's episode is so special to me and marks an important start to April which is also PMD Awareness Month! My guest today is Sandi MacDonald and she is the co-founder of IAPMD which is the International Association for Premenstrual Disorders.
She started experiencing different symptoms and behaviors early in her life, as early as high school. Through many years of struggling emotionally and physically, she was always asking what was happening to her. She saw doctors, therapists, and tried different medications, but nothing was a cure.
It was not until she became a mother that she finally started to find answers. Sandi discovered that she had PMDD (Premenstrual Dysphoric Disorder). PMDD is something that is not widely talked about but Sandi has decided to bring it to the surface!
We are answering your questions:
What are the classic symptoms to look for in PMDD?Is there a link between PMDD and a hormone imbalance?Does PMDD mean that perimenopause and menopause will be more difficult to go through?Does alcohol increase symptoms?
If you want more information visit Sandi's website- it is a wonderful resource! https://iapmd.org/
