Adult Sex Ed for Women w/ Dr. Maria Sophocles | Szn. 5 Ep. 11
How much do women really know about their own sexual health? From painful sex and changing orgasms to menopause and hormonal shifts, women experience significant changes in their bodies throughout their lives. Yet many are left wondering what's normal, what's treatable, and why no one ever told them what to expect.Dr. Jenn Kennedy sits down with board-certified OB/GYN and menopause specialist Dr. Maria Sophocles, author of The Bedroom Gap, for a candid, eye-opening conversation about the medical realities of women's sexual health—and the information too often missing from the conversation.Together, they explore endometriosis, hysterectomy, menopause, painful sex, pelvic-floor dysfunction, changes in orgasm, medications, clitoral adhesions, vaginal dryness, and hormone therapy—and why women are so often left navigating these issues without adequate guidance.They also challenge some deeply ingrained assumptions about sex itself. Why is penetration treated as the ultimate goal? Why do women assume something is wrong when their orgasms change? And why aren't doctors routinely asking about sexual health?Consider this the adult sex education you probably never got.Connect with Dr. Maria:Website: https://mariasophoclesmd.comConnect with Dr. Jenn:Instagram: @drjennkennedyWebsite: Pleasure ProjectWebsite: Riviera Therapy

Sex After Prostate Cancer w/ Victoria Cullen | Szn. 5 Ep. 9
What happens to intimacy after prostate cancer treatment—and why are so many men and couples unprepared for the changes?Dr. Jenn Kennedy sits down with Victoria Cullen, founder of A Touchy Subject and creator of The Hub, to talk candidly about sexual recovery after prostate cancer. They explore erectile changes, orgasm, penile rehabilitation, grief, masculinity, performance anxiety, and the emotional impact of suddenly feeling like you're living in a different body.But this conversation isn't only about what can be lost. It's also about what can be rediscovered.Victoria shares why sexual recovery requires more than simply waiting for erections to return, how partners can approach recovery as a team, and why expanding the definition of sex can lead some couples to experience more pleasure and connection than they had before treatment.They also unpack common myths—including the idea that sex is over after prostate cancer or that erections that don't return quickly never will—and discuss practical ways to support recovery before and after treatment.Whether you're navigating prostate cancer yourself, supporting a partner, or simply want to better understand sexual health after cancer, this episode offers information, hope, and a powerful reminder: your body is still capable of pleasure.Connect with Victoria:Website: www.atouchysubject.com & The HubConnect with Dr. Jenn:Instagram: @drjennkennedyWebsite: Pleasure ProjectWebsite: Riviera Therapy

Manifest, Masturbate & Money w/ Jennifer Love | Szn. 5 Ep. 8
This conversation with Jennifer Love explores a provocative question: What if feeling turned on wasn’t separate from success--but an important part of it?Dr. Jenn and Jennifer dive into the intersection of erotic energy, power, and wealth, and how embodiment can radically shift the way women lead, earn, and take up space. Jennifer speaks candidly about her self-pleasure practice and how intentional connection with her body became a source of confidence, clarity, and authority in both her business and personal life.Together, they unpack why pleasure still feels taboo in conversations about ambition, what happens when women stop divorcing desire from drive, and how reclaiming aliveness can expand capacity for visibility, impact, and income.Bold, thoughtful, and unapologetically edgy, this episode is for women ready to challenge inherited narratives about success and step into a more embodied, powerful way of leading.
