What if sexual wellness has far less to do with sex than we've been taught?

Pamela Madsen, founder of Back to the Body and one of the pioneers in women's sexual wellness, joins Kelly for a fascinating conversation about why so many women become disconnected from their bodies, their pleasure, and themselves—and how that disconnect impacts every area of life.

Together, they unpack what sexual wellness actually means, why women are rarely taught to prioritize pleasure the way men are, and how body shame, cultural conditioning, and life experiences can leave us feeling disconnected from ourselves for decades.

They also discuss:

What somatic sex education and sexological bodywork actually are
How body shame, food, sensuality, and pleasure become deeply connected
Why reconnecting with pleasure can improve confidence, creativity, and overall well-being
How women's relationship with intimacy changes through perimenopause and menopause—and why this chapter can actually become a new beginning
Why it's never too late to reconnect with your body, no matter your age
