Get ready to laugh (and cry a little bit) during this insanely relatable conversation between Krista and her actor-director-musician BFF, Joey Pollari! Krista and Joey chat about the ways we may be overusing “therapy talk” – a.k.a. things only you and your therapist talk about – in our relationships. Instead of slapping labels on someone or going overboard with “honest feedback,” sometimes it’s best to lead with how we’re actually feeling.  Krista and Joey recount stories of their own shortcomings in relationships as well as how they’ve grown in their self-awareness and communication skills. At the end of the day, therapy is one of our greatest tools for evolution, but learning how to integrate what we do in therapy with our real-time interactions is the ultimate relationship game changer! We also talk about: Why birthdays are triggering  Giving loving feedback in relationship The HR-ification of relationships Boundaries vs. walls “Spiritual” people on dating apps  Forgiveness + accepting people The power of stating your emotions Why labels aren’t effective tools for healing Raising the bar in dating  The myth of being “special”  Going after your creative dreams  Resources:  Youtube: @joey_pollari   Instagram: @joeypollari   Twitter: joeypollari   Music: linktr.ee/joeypollari   Sponsors: Seed | Visit seed.com/ALMOST30 and use code ALMOST30 to redeem 30% off your first month of Seed's DS-01® Daily Synbiotic.  Jenni Kayne | Find your forever pieces at jennikayne.com and get 15% off your first order when you use code ALMOST30 at checkout.  Dreamland | Go to dreamlandbabyco.com and enter code ALMOST30 at checkout to receive 20% off sitewide + free shipping.  Dose | Get 15% off your first order, plus an additional 15% off if you subscribe for a monthly delivery!

Do kegels actually work? Is painful sex normal? How can breathing help alleviate pelvic tension and pain? In this episode, we go there and answer all of your burning questions with Dr. Sonia Bahlani, who is an expert in the fields of gynecology and urology―sought purposefully because she was interested in helping patients with pelvic pain.  In her efforts to bring the topics of pelvic pain and women’s sexual health out from behind closed doors and find real, proven solutions for those in pain, Dr. Bahlani joins Lindsey to discuss the key to feeling good “down there,” starting with what exactly is your pelvic floor. She provides valuable insight on what might be causing your pain, what you can expect in a doctor’s office and what to do at home. So much of women’s sexual health remains unexplored, leaving us to wonder and question if specific experiences are normal…but no more. We’re deeply grateful to welcome Dr. Bahlani to the show to unpack the many misconceptions about this important topic.  We also talk about: What is your pelvic floor How to connect with your pelvic floor The relationship between your jaw + pelvic floor Pain during sex: Why it’s happening + what to do  The importance of pleasurable sex + foreplay Women’s healthcare in the U.S. Everyday habits to support your pelvic floor Understanding your urination habits The truth about kegels  Side effects of birth control Resources:  Instagram: @pelvicpaindoc TikTok: @pelvicpaindoc Website: pelvicpaindoc.com Book: Dr. Sonia's Guide to Navigating Pelvic Pain Sponsors: Hatch | Hatch is offering $20 off your purchase of a Hatch Restore 2 and free shipping at hatch.co/almost30.  AG1 | Go to drinkAG1.com/ALMOST30 and get a FREE 1-year supply of vitamin D + 5 free AG1 travel packs with your first purchase.
