    We All Need Pleasure! Endo Thick of It with Laura Zam

    We are pleased to invite Laura Zam, an author, speaker, certified trauma professional, and sexuality educator, to our discussion today. Laura spent three decades searching for love and eventually met the man of her dreams. However, she faced several bedroom issues associated with past childhood trauma and menopause, which threatened her marriage and her ability to experience pleasure. In response, Laura embarked on a journey of sexual healing, studying everything there was to know about trauma recovery, female sexuality, and relationship health. Today, she is on a mission to help others reclaim their sexual vitality and reach their potential. Laura offers pleasure empowerment coaching services for individuals and couples, as well as online courses and speaking engagements about pleasure, sex-positive consent, and trauma recovery. She is also the author of THE PLEASURE PLAN, a bestselling memoir about her own journey.   Connect with Laura: Author of THE PLEASURE PLAN Website: LauraZam.com Twitter: @LauraZam Instagram: @LauraZam_Author Facebook: @LauraZamAuthor Podcast: https://laurazam.com/podcast/ Laura will be speaking at the 2024 PEACH Corps Conference in May 2024 in Yonkers, NY.

    Endo Thick of It with The Mandevilles

    It was awesome getting to know the Brian and Julia Mandeville. We discussed Julia’s endometriosis diagnosis, the struggles of having pain dismissed, the importance of self-care for both partners, the importance of patience (except for people who think it's their business to inquire about your fertility), advice for other couples navigating chronic illness, and much more. They are a beautiful example of how two individuals can be so different and yet still truly meant to be. Though they remain in the thick of it, they've learned a lot about navigating endometriosis in marriage so check out this convo and let us know: what felt relatable? What tips would you share with other couples navigating chronic illness?   Do you have a topic idea for the podcast? We'd love to hear from you!

    Endometriosis: A Family Affair - with Mike and Kellie Baker Part 2

    We had such a great time speaking with Mike and Kellie Baker, an amazing couple and parents of three lovely children. Kellie suspected that their daughter’s symptoms were due to endometriosis, then later realized that she too was experiencing symptoms that also appeared to be due to endometriosis. Her suspicions were right. Soon after their daughter’s laparoscopic surgery that confirmed her endometriosis diagnosis, Kellie had surgery which confirmed her endometriosis diagnosis as well. Kellie and Mike shared so many powerful insights into what it’s like to care for a child with endometriosis, how they stay connected while navigating chronic illness, and how to seek out moments of joy through the journey.  Mike is fondly known in the endometriosis community as @Endodad76. He’s an Endodad and an EndoHusband who uses his AI art to create endo warrior tributes designed to honor and inspire those who are dealing with this devastating disease. Check out his work on his IG page or his website https://endodad76.zenfoliosite.com/ We'd love to hear from you!

    Reflections on the 2nd Annual Endo Black Award Gala

    We had the honor of attending the 2nd Annual Endo Black Inc. Award Gala and had a wonderful time! Endo Black Inc. is a Black women-led nonprofit organization advocating for and raising awareness about the challenges faced by African-American women and women of color living with endometriosis. This special event was such a beautiful way to recognize individuals who are working tirelessly within the endometriosis community.  All who were in attendance had the opportunity to be wowed by the entertainment, inspired by award recipients' stories and acceptance speeches, and learn so much about the impact that Endo Black Inc. is having on the community.  To learn more about Endo Black Inc. and support this amazing organization, go to:  https://www.endoblack.org/    Do you have a topic idea for the podcast?

    Part 2: Intimacy and Active Consent with Nurse Jenna of DiscovHER Health

    We continue our conversation about sexual medicine and reestablishing intimacy with Nurse Jenna of @discovherhealth. The main take home messages: if you have reached the point of your pelvic pain journey where you’re ready to work on sexual intimacy, you can really collapse time by working with a sexual medicine specialist and pelvic floor physical therapist who can help guide your efforts. Whether you can access one or not, building your knowledge is the most powerful thing you can do!! Seek out reputable sexual medicine resources and follow the social media accounts of clinicians who are committed to improving the sexual health of all.   Lastly, you can’t rush your healing so introduce new therapies such as self touch, vibrators, a new lubricant, dilators, a  pelvic wand, even stretches and exercises that support your pelvic floor — SLOWLY and with a curious, evaluative mindset. Reflect on the sensations it created, how your body responded, and gauge your readiness to step it up a notch.   The Discovher Health website is full of FREE resources on various pelvic conditions and her curated HERshop is full of Nurse Jenna-approved health and pleasure products.
