Everyone talks about sex, but few talk about what really happens beneath the surface — in

your body, your nervous system, and your relationships. In this debut episode, Dr. Rebecca

Howard Eudy (Boston-based sex and couples therapist) and Dr. Alex DiGrado (pelvic floor

physical therapist in Melrose, MA) open up about their paths into two of the most misunderstood

fields in healthcare.

From navigating shame and cultural taboos to redefining what sex actually means, Rebecca

and Alex unpack the real conversations they have every day with clients — and why curiosity,

safety, and humor matter as much as anatomy. Whether you’re a therapist, a new parent, or just

pelvic-floor-curious, this episode gets you under the hood of intimacy, connection, and body

awareness.

What You’ll Learn:

• Why most therapists and doctors aren’t trained to talk about sex — and why that matters
• The biggest misconceptions about sex therapy and pelvic floor PT
• How to expand your definition of sex beyond “intercourse”
• Why “just do your Kegels” can actually make things worse
• The surprising overlap between emotional and physical safety — and what it means for
• desire

Tune in if you’ve ever thought:

• “I want to feel more connected to my body or partner, but I don’t know where to start.
• “What actually happens in pelvic floor PT or sex therapy?”
• “Why does sex feel different after kids, stress, or trauma?”
