We affirm that people with chronic health conditions are radically sexy simply by rejecting the negative messages that we get from our culture. On the podcast and in our classes, we learn how to improve the quality of our lives. We talk to people with MS and other chronic conditions, researchers, and healthcare practitioners as we learn to navigate the complexities of sexual well-being.

A discussion about The Pleasure (and struggles) of Care
I'm grateful to writers and researchers like Dr. Sarah Rainey Smithback because their words expose me to new perspectives and challenge me to rethink my perception of reality. I had a dramatic lightbulb moment about surrendering to vulnerability while reading "The Pleasures of Care: Love, Sex, and disability". In this bonus episode, I talk about one section in the book that spurred this revelation.
You'll also hear a conversation between my partner Susan and me; we talk about a wheelchair conflict we had several years ago. It's a discussion about shame, resistance, and control. We're all a work in progress; all we can do is take steps every day to challenge ourselves and enrich our relationships. Vulnerability is scary for everyone but braving this emotion makes you a superhero in your own story.
Be sure to join us for a live Q&A with Dr. Sarah on January 20th at 5:00 PM Pacific Time.
