Description

Welcome back to another episode of the Pelvic Power Podcast!

💫 In this episode we talk about:

  • Why asking for what you want—especially in intimacy—is not rude, but powerful
  • The challenges of dating when you live with pelvic pain or lichen sclerosus
  • A personal story from a recent date
  • How self-advocacy during intimacy can shift your pelvic pain experience
  • Why your pleasure practice matters—and how to explore it solo or with someone else
  • Communication tips for setting boundaries around physical closeness and sex
  • Ideas for venturing back into dating gently, at your own pace


The reminder that you are a goddess, and knowing your desires is part of your power 💗
