You Are Not Broken

Join me on a lecture I gave to some surgeons (some of my favorite people BTW). I discuss - sexual normative roles and how that affects our personal sex lives. We were taught “sex negative” education – don’t get pregnancy or infections, save it for marriage What happens when the novelty of sex wears off Is desire a circumstance, a feeling, a result? Where do we put it in a coaching model. Desire and sex for women. What do I mean by crappy sex? Sex, surgery and mindfulness Normalizing responsive desire Sleep and a happy sex life/drive What is responsive desire? How alcohol works with the brain to hurt/help our sex drive Why older people have great sex Why our thoughts about our spouse helps or hurts our sex life – and our thoughts are completely under our control. Do you desire what you already have? Why textbooks dedicate way more space to male sexual organs than female. Anatomy lesson Why PIV sex doesn’t work for female orgasms Are you “should-ing” all over your sex life? We finish this episode with some coaching on our sex life – we use the “model” from The Life Coach School. If you want a good sex life you can’t be passive about it.

For the Men!! Oh come on, it is for the women too! Body part warning: I call a male body part a name in this podcast - truly I mean no harm and no shame and no hate. It is only to point out that we can question what we are doing and break down the idea that PIV sex is the default and gold standard. All my love to ALL BODIES and ALL BODY PARTS. Suffering from a dry spell with your partner? Do you feel like your sex life has tanked? In this podcast, I collaborate with Dr. Rena Malik, a fellow urologist, to share with you 7 tips to help increase your female partner's pleasure! Dr. Kelly Casperson's Backstory Tip #1 Schedule time for Sex - Desire isn't even necessary - don't take this the wrong way - I NEVER mean do it when you don't want to do it - rather that for a lot of women, desire arises while doing. And some people don't believe in scheduling as it makes it a "chore" - think of it more as prioritizing your intimate life with yourself and your partner. Like you will forget to go on a date unless it is scheduled because life gets too busy - kind of thing. Tip #2 Know your Female Anatomy - What exactly is the G-Spot? Focus on the Outside Structures Tip #3 Prioritize her, it's not all about you Tip #4 Go Slow Tip #5 Use Lubricants Tip #6 Meet in the middle based on your desires Tip #7 Communication is key Dr. Malik hosts a popular YouTube Channel https://www.youtube.com/c/RenaMalikMD/videos Find her her also at www.instagram.com/renamalikmd and https://renamalikmd.com/ --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/kj-casperson/message Learn more about your ad choices.

Listen to this with your partner! So much talk about partner communication I am so excited to talk to Dr. Alexandra Stockwell. We officially met on a panel for sexperts in October 2020! Which are really the only panels I should sit on these days as they are so fun! She is on a mission to change the cultural narrative around long-term relationships from one of stagnation and companionship to the delectable joy a couple can feel when they build passion and excitement to nourish them both. How do you define a “juicy” relationship? Why people compromise in their relationships. Great sex in a long-term relationship is no accident – talk about the myth of why people think it should be easy or not take work. Tips for becoming a better lover. Why did you write “uncompromising intimacy”? There is a couple – late 60’s – early 70s….he watches porn, turns down her advances – she keeps asking for sex…she states she is torn between divorce and suicide……where would you start? So many women fake orgasm – give me your thoughts on that. You have said that “Humans learn by observation or modeling” – I totally fell in love with that statement. How does that apply to your work? We were talking in January about a stat that 49% of women in their 50s stop having sex – then we had to nerd out and look that up. What do we tell women in their 40s/50s about the next decade of life with their spouse? People are afraid to talk about sex – but it is the vulnerability and communication that actually builds intimacy – people feel entitled to intimacy without doing the hard work. Underneath every complaint is a desire. How to have sex like a woman! Okay, tell us about your programs, how to find/follow you and get your book! Uncompromising Intimacy: Turn your unfulfilling marriage into a deeply satisfying, passionate partnership. https://amzn.to/2UCQZmA The Marriage Podcast with Dr. Alexandra Stockwell: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/the-marriage-podcast/id1548060690 --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/kj-casperson/message Learn more about your ad choices.

Featured in this week’s episode of You Are Not Broken host Kelly Casperson, MD interviews OBGYN Dr. Meedlen Charles. Dr. Charles will discuss the effects of Postpartum Depression and how women can be embarrassed talking about the issues they have after giving birth. Dr. Meedlen talks about the importance knowing that women with previous conditions of anxiety and depression are more likely to be affected by Postpartum. However, most women will have effects after birth, and this is a normal part of giving birth that many do not want to discuss. In some cultures, it is frowned upon to talk about what women experience after pregnancy and birth. Most women will experience many difficult side effects after birth including lack of desire, body issues, anxiety, depression, vaginal dryness, and more. Some women may feel as if these effects are uncommon, but the reality is that many women experience side effects after giving birth. Women may have a difficult time having sex with their partner or breast feeding for a long period of time. When returning to the work force, women might endure a hard time “wearing multiple hats” and managing their role as a new mother. These feelings are normal and common in most cases. We talk about pain and dryness with sex. Hormones can be a reason for this, so can birth trauma. Tips and tricks and our favorites! Typically, there are appointments a few short weeks after giving birth to observe if a woman is experiencing postpartum. Unfortunately, many believe that postpartum will stop after 30 days or 3 months, but the reality is that it can last up to a year after giving birth. The highest risk for perinatal suicide occurs between nine months to a year after giving birth. Learn when Dr. Charles brings in physical therapy to a woman’s healing plan post-partum. We talk about low libido post-partum. So common and there are so many reasons why. The best cause of action is to talk honestly to your doctor because while it may feel embarrassing, they are there to help you. They can recommend lotions or oils to make your body feel more comfortable during sex, therapists to help you deal with your anxiety or depression, and more. Join these physicians as they talk about women and their mental/physical state after having a child. And then be sure to subscribe to the podcast on Spotify and Apple Podcasts.

Happy New year! I reflect on the past year. How I got started by listening to the voice in my head. Yeah, kinda like Frozen 2 (which my kids are currently watching). - You have to deal with your limiting beliefs that aren’t moving you forward Impossible goal for 2021 – how about intimacy? It is the journey, not the destination – a journey of 1,000 miles starts with a single step. It is not the YOU when you get there – but the journey What is your reason for your goal? If it is so you feel better about yourself, ask yourself why you can’t feel good about yourself now. You are worthy now, just as you are. Nothing you can get/obtain will CREATE the worthiness. Feeling of worthiness comes from thoughts, not circumstances. So, if you want to have a better sex life to feel worthy as a spouse etc etc….what is preventing you from feeling worthy as a spouse now? Watch out for the SHOULDS! I also share the top four rules by Dr. Rachel Carlton Abrams in “the Multi-Orgasmic Woman". Self-cultivation – best renaming EVER! And in the meantime, remember, you are not broken. --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/kj-casperson/message Learn more about your ad choices.
