    S2E22: A Trailblazers Path to Transformation by Michael Mitter

    In today’s episode, you’ll hear a story written and narrated by my friend, Michael Mitter.  It's a story about relationships and connectedness between parent and child, child and extended family. It's a story about trailblazing a path to transformation as a gay man in a world full of broken people with expectations, opinions, and demands. It's a story about boundaries, integrity, and love. It's a story about the magic of learning. My hope is that you will lean in and truly listen to what it is he shares because maybe, just maybe it will help you learn to better respect and love others that are different than you.

    S2E19: Pain in the Vag - Living with and healing Vaginismus with Paige @NovaSeventh

    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!! Connect with Paige on Instagram @Novaseventh   CAUTION & TRIGGER WARNING! Today we talk about pelvic floor and sexual dysfunction, sex - whether it’s painful or pleasurable, and what healing can look like.
