## Resource

In this episode of Curiously, Ericka sits with Dr. Valerie Akinwande and Dr. Kelly Edmiston for a conversation about women’s bodies, sexuality, and the shame so many of us inherited around both. Together, they explore the importance of honest, ongoing conversations about puberty, pregnancy, postpartum, and sex, especially within families and faith communities. Dr. V shares from her work as a pelvic floor physical therapist helping women better understand and care for their bodies through every stage of life, while Dr. Kelly talks about her upcoming book Shame-Free Sex Talks and creating healthier, more open conversations around sexuality. Along the way, they reflect on embodiment, motherhood, faith, and what it looks like to reconnect with our bodies as something good.
