It's My Pleasure

Dr. Shyama was such a pleasure to have on the podcast this week. As a practicing gynecologist and certified menopause specialist, she breaks down some of the changes we may see in perimenopause and menopause and how this impacts our sexual response.Dr. Shyama is so well versed on this topic, and as a mother and wife herself she understands how challenging it can be to juggle it all and still find time for pleasure. Because of the lack of education she even got in her medical training when it came to hormones, female pleasure and sexual response, it is her mission to help more people understand what they can do to experience more pleasure and ease during all seasons of life.Episode Highlights:The many causes of sexual dysfunction and what to look out forWhat to expect in perimenopause and post menopause as it relations to symptoms and changes in sexual response and satisfactionWhy Dr. Shyama got involved with Playground, a female sexual wellness company and what products they offer for the female bodyFeatured

New year and a time that so many of us are setting intentions. What I love to observe about this time is about how much of the narrative is about doing MORE.

It is so interesting that we as humans will typically wait for something to be a problem before we make a change. We wait for things to fall a part, or for someone to be dissatisfied or for our mind to be consumed with something ‘not working’ long enough before we take the action to change. In today’s episode Caitie, a past participant of the Tangled program, shared her big ah-ha of how she was hesitant before joining because the sex was good.

But through her journey to experience more desire postpartum she realized how much she always had let her husband’s pleasure take precedence. Caitie opens up about the profound impact this work has had on her relationship, from incredible shifts of more mind-blowing pleasure, to the liberation of saying no and yes from a place of true desire.  If you've ever felt that this area of your life wasn’t ‘problematic’ but had a s
