If pelvic pain or low libido has made intimacy feel more frustrating than fun, you’re not alone. In this episode, I sit down with Sara, my sex therapist, to talk about the realities of sex when you’re dealing with chronic pain, neurodivergence, and the mental load that often comes with it.

We dive into:

• Why pelvic pain can mess with your libido (and what you can do about it)

• How societal norms shape our ideas about desire and intimacy

• The emotional labor women often take on in relationships (and why that needs to change)

• The role of therapy in reshaping thought patterns around sex and pain

• How to improve communication with your partner and advocate for your needs

If sex has felt like a struggle, this episode is for you. Let’s talk about it.
