KEY TAKEAWAYS 

Painful Periods Are Not Normal. Painful periods could be a sign of PCOS. The lack of conversations about women’s health issues is a significant concern. This podcast helps educate women on important health topics, empowering them to become their own health advocates. SHE MD gives women the knowledge they need to have informed discussions with their doctors.Would You And Your Spouse Agree To Have One Fling A Year Before Marriage? No! Of course, you wouldn’t. But live and learn. Aurora did just that and regrets that decision. Her story about her husband’s flings will make your head spin. Open Marriage And Swingers—Do Those Marriages Stand The Test Of Time? It might seem exciting, but if you're hoping for a lasting marriage, consider whether you know of any swinging relationships that have endured.Men And Women View Sex Differently. For a man, a fling might just be casual, while his wife may see it as a deep betrayal, knowing that for her, an affair would likely involve emotional attachment. This reflects the idea that men and women approach relationships from different perspectives; as the saying goes, "Men are from Mars, women are from Venus."Does a Woman Disconnect from Her Husband After Childbirth? Many significant changes occur after having a child. Physically, a woman’s body is different. Her focus often shifts as well, with her attention now centered on caring for her baby, which can impact her relationship with her husband. It can take time to resume intimacy, especially if she’s breastfeeding, as this adjustment period requires patience.Does Being Sober Curious Resonate With You? Are you curious about living a sober lifestyle? The "sober curious" movement is real and encourages people to rethink their relationship with alcohol. It’s about questioning why you drink and whether it’s enhancing or complicating your life. Are you drinking because of a social event, the time of day or another reason? Does this resonate with you?
