This episode of Triumph Beyond Trauma is nothing short of spicy and empowering!

I’m joined by the fabulous Courtney Nolan—former NSW Police Officer, now relationship and intimacy coach—who’s not afraid to tackle the big (and often unspoken) topics around mental health, trauma, and sex.

Courtney shares her unique journey from the high-pressure world of policing to helping veterans and first responders rebuild intimacy and connection after PTSD, stress, and depression.

We dive into how trauma impacts the mind, body, and bedroom, while Courtney serves up her no-nonsense tips to reignite passion, embrace vulnerability, and break the cycles of shame and disconnection.

This isn’t just a chat about sex—it’s about finding confidence, rekindling connection, and building a relationship that thrives, no matter the challenges. With plenty of cheeky insights and actionable advice, this episode is equal parts real, raw, and a little bit sexy.

Grab a cuppa, tune in, and let’s normalise the conversations that matter—because intimacy should be more than just “getting by.”
