It's My Pleasure

Ep. 201: Reclaiming Intimacy and Sexuality After Breast Cancer with Adriana McCulloch


Listen Later

In this important episode, Adriana McCulloch shares her personal journey with breast cancer and the many things that aren’t discussed openly when one faces cancer treatment. Because the fact is, that there is so much emphasis on the treatment itself and getting through that, but not how to put all the pieces back together once treatment is complete. 

There is a physical and emotional impact of cancer treatment that is carried on well after the treatment that can bleed into so many areas of life, but especially a woman’s relationship with her body and sexuality, including the challenges of body image, intimacy, and early onset menopause. 

Adriana sheds light into her own journey navigating these challenges as well as ways that those facing treatment recovery can begin to reclaim their intimate lives and sexuality.

We dive into the healing process from grieving to self-love and of course tapping into pleasure.

Highlights:
  • Adriana's personal experience with breast cancer diagnosis and treatment, and how it inspired her to become a coach for others
  • The profound impact of cancer treatment on Adriana's relationship with her body, including scars, loss of sensation, and feelings of distrust
  • The importance of grieving and unlearning societal expectations and trauma to build a solid foundation for healing
  • The journey of rediscovering pleasure, intimacy, and communication after cancer treatment
  • The societal perceptions and expectations of breast cancer survivors, and how they can negatively impact one's ability to pursue pleasure and intimacy
  • The need for more support and resources for cancer survivors, especially in the areas of sexuality and mental health
