This week on Bringing Intimacy Back, host Dr. April and co-host Coach Kay welcomes Mel O discussing SEXY MONEY!

“A boss screamin’ in my ear about who I’m supposed to be Get a 3-piece Wall Street smile and son you’ll look just like me” Youth Gone Wild -Skid Row I want to be myself in an industry confined by stuffed suits, confusing jargon and general lameness. I want financial literacy to come to the many and close the gap between the 99% and the 1%, and I want to drop some F bombs while I do it. Is that so bad? SO, I wrote a book (Finances the Other F Word-Another F Word to love, find it on Amazon) and started this podcast under the same name. Despite the fact I have a background in media I was not onboard with the podcasting gig until Stormie called me and basically forced me to do one. I invited him and another friend, Zoe, along to make it happen. That being said, we kick ass and it reminds me how much I missed the media sector. Welcome home Mel. I love money, I love my money, and I love your money, and I want you to have more of it. The first step of this is to understand it, and I want to bring financial literacy to the masses in a way that doesn’t bore you or speak over your heads. I love music, all music with few exceptions. You, the creative types who make the music I love, I want to help you! The music business is a BUSINESS, and you need to have a basic knowledge of the ins and outs of money if you are going to survive, even if you self-release. So, listen to this podcast, and subscribe, and rate and review us. Quite frankly, LOVE US. We love you and we bust our asses, (well, not Stormie so much), to give you the information you need and deserve. You are a Rockstar and I am your advisor, so let’s fucking rock n roll! Rock On- Mel O CFP www.hotmoonfinancial.com

Bringing Intimacy Back has guest speaker Traci Owen, RN, BSN, CSC, SE, will discuss how pain with sex impacts sexual desire! If your sexual desire has diminished due to pain, find out during this episode of Bringing Intimacy Back and what you can do to increase your sexual desire. This is always the place Where Intimacy is Real and you will laugh, learn and love alongside our hosts every Thursday at 3:30pm EST Live! If you like what you hear, rate our content and leave us a review on any social media platform you listen to us. Traci Owen describes herself as a servant heart and healer. She began her journey in healthcare thirty-eight years ago at the age of seventeen. In 1989, she graduated from nursing school and began a lifelong journey of caring for people in a variety of healthcare roles. From 2009 to 2021, Traci worked in an oncology setting serving as a Care Manager where she walked the treatment journey with hundreds of patients. As she sought resources to help patients and their partner navigate struggles related to intimacy and sexuality, she recognized that there was a huge gap in the medical and mental health models of care specific to adult sexual health education and intervention for those experiencing natural body changes of aging, menopause, chronic health issues, cancer and the treatment of cancer, and physical body challenges. In 2015, Traci created a sexual health program inside her facility and began working with clients and their partners to address concerns related to relational intimacy, sexual body health, and the shared sexual experience. In 2018, she completed a post-graduate certificate program at the University of Michigan in Sexuality Counseling & Sexuality Education. In 2020, she was awarded AASECT Certification as a Sexuality Counselor. There are less than 1,300 professionals who have met the exceptional standards required to attain AASECT Certification. In 2021, Traci and her husband, Michael, established Intimate Pathways Center for Sexual Health, a private practice in Broken Arrow, Oklahoma. Traci identifies her professional role as a partnership with an individual or couple to create a safe environment where intimacy and sexuality can be explored. Our society is drenched with mixed sexual messages, myths, and unrealistic expectations. Our bodies are in constant transition over a lifetime and as the sexual body ages, so will the sexual experience. Traci seeks to guide her clients as they navigate these messages and body transitions by exploring their intimate and sexual desires, providing education, and making recommendations to address the identified concerns. She is a collaborative professional and enjoys working with other members of the healthcare team to help a client meet their goals. “Sexual health applies to Everybody & Every Body.” Traci For more information, visit www.intimatepathways.org/ The Bringing Intimacy Back Podcast is dedicated to inspire, enlighten, and encourage intimate connections.
