180. Becoming Empowered and Getting Vulnerable with Dr. Casperson

Season 1 · Episode 180

Sunday, October 9, 2022 • Duration 49:24

Listen to this very deep and vulnerable conversation I had with my friend Dr. Kathy Zhang on her podcast, The Purpose Filter. There are so many aspects to living a life of fulfillment, but what if there was one area of your life you could improve that would spill over into all others? Sounds like a bit of a life hack. Well, it is, and we want to share it with you on today’s episode. Is your sex life fulfilling, or are you just going through the motions? The empowerment you get from knowing what you want in the bedroom and being able to speak up and ask for it, or the ability to say no, when no means no, is a crucial element to all aspects of your life. If you can stand up for yourself in these very vulnerable and intimate situations, the empowerment that happens outside of the bedroom will come naturally. This all starts with you and your willingness to make a decision to uplevel your life and stop living on autopilot. “Should we care about the people who are sleeping with the people we are giving Viagra to?” “My husband died so now I need to take care of myself”. “It is easy to be average” “She just wants the damn thing to end – which is another reason that women fake orgasm” On faking orgasms - “He thinks it is the end of the party and you were never at the party.” “You can’t just give somebody desire. It is an inside job” “I think working on your sex life is the final frontier of personal growth.” “Everything you do to have a better sex life spills over to other aspects of your life” “What if my whole purpose in life is to tell people to use vaginal estrogen cream?” Tune in to hear how you can create more joy and abundance in your life! Topics discussed in this episode: • Dr. Casperson’s experience in a largely male dominated field • What is it like becoming the first doctor in the family • Bad advice Dr. Casperson received when she was becoming a doctor • Giving yourself permission to step into your power • Why your voice is important and unique • What was Dr. Casperson’s turning point to change the way she lived her life • Applying dying lessons now while we are living • Why women feel their pleasure and themselves are not a priority • How to move past shame and guilt surrounding sex and beyond • Going from being pulled along for the ride to getting into the driver seat • How young people should re-frame purpose • Sharing the gift of awareness and presence Connect with Dr. Kathy Zhang on Intagram https://www.instagram.com/purposefilter/ And on her website: https://luyikathyzhang.com/ Did you get the You Are Not Broken Book Yet? https://amzn.to/3p18DfK Join my membership to get these episodes ASAP when they are created and without advertisement and even listen live to the interviews and episodes. www.kellycaspersonmd.com/membership --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/kj-casperson/message

179. Roommate Syndrome, Giving Couples Hope, and How To Be a Man Worth Desiring with Coach Glen Lovelace

Season 1 · Episode 179

Sunday, October 2, 2022 • Duration 01:04:58

Meet Glen Lovelace! I love his generosity toward helping men in relationships and his masculine energy on this podcast! He shares his story from desperate (even suicidal) plans to living a life of helping others live their best relationships.

When women learn about their sexuality and get empowered, often they feel stuck because of a spouse who they fear is not open to change. I wanted to bring on someone who literally deals with this as his job. Glen helps men who's wives have been transformed in one way or another, usually by coaching education.

Glenn Lovelace is the wingman for men whose wives have transformed from coaching. He is a certified coach through the life coach school. Glenn has coached over 3,000 clients 1 on 1 since 2008.

His transformation started with bodybuilding after being in a very low place in his life. He decided he needed to prioritize himself to be the best spouse and father he could be.

"It’s okay to be uncomfortable."

How to “gently” change your partner (and remember you can’t change anyone who doesn’t want to be changed).

1) Show them how you have changed

2) Bring in a third party influencer

3) Learn how to speak the same language

4) Always remember you two are on the same team

Roomate Syndrome – just existing together and losing touch why you love and are attracted to each other.

If one person does their work, the marriage can get better.

Your spouse is just there to love.

Can couples start speaking the same language? Glen says yes!

Intimacy not in the bedroom is important!

Wanting your spouse to change for you to be happy is a toxic plan.

177. Me and My Body Are A Team - Teaching Reconnection with Katrina Ubell, MD

Season 1 · Episode 177

Sunday, September 18, 2022 • Duration 32:44

A mindwork episode!

Dr. Ubell is one of the first physician life coaches!

She gained and lost the same 40 lbs at least 10 times since puberty and now helps women become a team with their body and stop obsessing over food using the power of mindwork.

She reached out to me to be on the podcast and at first I didn’t know how to connect the dots besides life coaching. I have a podcast episode called “sex while fat” – we are okay at any size. I was worried she just wanted to talk about losing weight.

So I said Okay if we can talk about how mind work in her arena can also relate to a positive body image and sex life.

Like my older episodes talking about money and sex – these topics are more related than we think because of our thoughts about them.

“I am interested in people stopping hating themselves” – Dr. Ubell

What is diet culture?

The concept of mutual respect between you and your body.

Can weight loss goals exist with body positivity?

Shame is useless.

“I haven’t had success so there must be something wrong with me” Dr. Ubell

Why do we get numb or disconnected from our bodies?

Over eating as a trauma response – sexual assault or childhood trauma – I got big to not feel or too attractive.

Changing one’s identity requires changing our thoughts.

Menopause and weight gain/loss – watch what you believe about this.

Acceptance of our bodies as we get older.

Entitlement thoughts! I feel so seen! I am entitled to my latte!

How to stop invalidating your emotions

174. Vibrators, Princess Marie Bonaparte, and Motorcycle Coils

Season 1 · Episode 174

Sunday, August 28, 2022 • Duration 34:03

First I read from the recently published article, "The Anatomy of Female Sexual Arousal: Princess Marie Bonaparte, the Halban-Narjani Procedure, and the Art of Constantin Brancusi." Then I talk about seven different types of vibrators. Then I finish with a tragic case of motorcycle spring meets penis. Enjoy!

1. The OG - Hitachi Magic Wand. external, powerful and marketed as personal massagers

2. 𝗖𝗹𝗮𝘀𝘀𝗶𝗰 𝗽𝗲𝗻𝗲𝘁𝗿𝗮𝘁𝗶𝘃𝗲 𝘃𝗶𝗯𝗿𝗮𝘁𝗼𝗿𝘀 - put curve on them, call them G’Spot’ and raise the price
⁣
3. 𝗖𝗹𝗶𝘁𝗼𝗿𝗮𝗹 𝘃𝗶𝗯𝗿𝗮𝘁𝗼𝗿𝘀 - these focus on external clitoral stimulation. Air pulse – Wevibe Melt – Best in class IMO.
⁣
4. 𝗗𝘂𝗮𝗹 𝘃𝗶𝗯𝗿𝗮𝘁𝗼𝗿𝘀 𝗮𝗸𝗮 "𝗥𝗮𝗯𝗯𝗶𝘁𝘀" - Work in and out at the same time.
⁣
5. 𝗕𝘂𝗹𝗹𝗲𝘁 𝘃𝗶𝗯𝗿𝗮𝘁𝗼𝗿𝘀 - usually a "starter" vibrator for most folks.
⁣
6. 𝗖𝗼𝘂𝗽𝗹𝗲𝘀 𝘃𝗶𝗯𝗿𝗮𝘁𝗼𝗿𝘀 - many many different types here. Eve by Dame is one that is "hands free", many strap onto a penis.
⁣
7. 𝗔𝗻𝗮𝗹 𝘃𝗶𝗯𝗿𝗮𝘁𝗼𝗿𝘀 - kinda self explanatory.

Vaginal Lasers

How a male can introduce my book to his female partner

Unopposed Estrogen can cause harm

Q&A from listeners:

Genetic testing in 2017 and was positive for Lynch Syndrome. I was just diagnosed with uterine cancer yesterday. 43 years old and total hysterectomy in my very near future. Terrified about trying to get my hormone levels correct post surgery!! Any suggestions or recommendations?

I’m a 38 y/old breast cancer survivor. I’m on estradiol, got all the fancy lubes, and now I’m curious about testosterone… People only seem to talk about estrogen for women, but my libido is nonexistent and penetrative sex is excruciating. Curious if testosterone also takes a hit while on hormone blocking meds post-cancer. I discuss this stuff with the oncologist but it feels trivial compared to the work they did to cure my cancer. However, my PCP won’t touch the hormone topic with me and defers to the oncologist because of my cancer history… thoughts/suggestions?

I’ve gathered so much info from you about the estradiol cream and so much more than I got my gyn to prescribe the cream for me. I’d like to note that I am 59 and I have never had any problems with painful sex or any vaginal issues in the past. I applied the first dose both inside and a bit on the outside areas, it was fine with no noticeable changes. But 4 days later I applied the second dose, this time just inside and within a day or so I felt changes. My clitoral area was sensitive with discomfort and I experienced dryness in the outer labia like never before - not really painful but noticeable discomfort. I have not taken a third dose but I really want to be able to use this so I don’t shrivel up and go away LOL. I also was getting a few hot flashes and they really decreased after the first dose but are back now, although not as much. Is it possible that the discomfort will diminish after a while if I keep taking it? Would it be effective if I only applied it once weekly?
