Hey, Friend! I have decided to make a major change to the podcast. I explain the decision plus what you can expect in todayâs episode. Itâs Friday morning as Iâm writing this, and Iâm already getting tons of feedback - some in support - some not so much. And thatâs OK. Please know the decision was not made lightly, in fact, you can hear the decision making process as Bret and I reviewed that on todayâs show. Friends, donât put off that medical appointment! â
mammogram
â
annual OB/GYN
â
colonoscopy Btw - March is colorectal cancer awareness month and I finally got my first one. Iâd been putting it off for years, afraid of all the prep-horror stories Iâd heard about. Iâm here to tell youâ¦itâs NO big deal! With the recommended screening-age dropping to 45, yes, I was definitely behind (no pun intended). The prep these days is way less traumatic than it used to be, and the procedure itself is as simple as can be. You take a little nap, and itâs over. The hardest part for me was not knowing I couldnât drink any water beforehand and getting sent home for two hours like a 2nd grader who got into trouble at school. Oops! So, if a little dehydration is the worst part, Iâd say yaâll need to book your appointments today! My colonoscopy and yearly mammogram are why Bret and I are back in California for a bit. And to visit our kids and Bob, of course. Now, I donât consider myself a celebrity by any stretch, but about once a week, someone will recognize me (or my voice) and maybe ask for a quick photo. Which I *usually* love. Well, this week, it happened more than once, and while my clothes were off, at said MD appointments. #onlyme (Listen to the full hilarious story, plus a few more about laxatives, pap smear prep and drinking too much [here](). [image]() Itâs funny how certain topics, even though they are very human, can make us squirm or blush. Obviously, sex is one of those and the specific topic of female pleasure takes top billing. Sometimes it feels like people are so open about this topic that itâs a bit off putting⦠#TMI My hope is simply to help you feel comfortable enough, and even have the right words to have this conversation on a regular basis with your significant other. I would love for you to listen in to a conversation with Wednesday's expert on the topic of: female pleasure with Alisa DiLorenzo. (Listen to the full episode [here](). When I first started these types of interviews, there were certain taboo words and topics that were difficult for me to talk about without feeling a little uncomfortable. [image](=) What I realized was: these conversations shouldnât be embarrassing. (PS - this blouse is from Alice and Olivia) Here are few of the topics we discussed: - Why is sex a taboo subject for many people
- Why it is important to shed light on all aspects of pleasure
- Speaking about sex and having sex is important for mental, sexual, and physical health
- Why having conversations about sex and pleasure leads to deeper partner relationships
- Knowing your own anatomy is crucial in being comfortable with sex
- Why being raised in a religious household may make it difficult to discuss the topic of sex Lastly, since weâre traveling coast to coast the next two weeks, Iâve stocked up on all of my favorite supplements that fight jet lag and keep my sleep on point.
