Welcome back to the Pelvic Power Podcast!
✨ In this heartfelt (and joy-filled) conversation, Penny is joined by her friend Michelle Milhei, the creator of The Happy Pelvis — a beautiful community supporting people living with chronic pelvic pain. Together, they open up about what it’s really like to navigate life, relationships, and self-care while living with pelvic pain.
From early experiences of discomfort and shame to learning how to communicate, build safety, and find support, this episode is an honest look at the messy, beautiful reality of healing and human connection. There’s laughter, tenderness, and so much truth in this chat between two women who deeply get it.
In this episode we walk about:
- Michelle’s journey with endometriosis, interstitial cystitis, and lichen sclerosus — and how she turned her pain into advocacy
- The ups and downs of dating, marriage, and intimacy while living with chronic pain
- How safety, communication, and emotional honesty build real connection
- The importance of self-care practices like breathwork, nervous system regulation, and rest
- Why finding community — and laughing about the hard stuff — can be healing in itself
- ...and so much more!
Enjoy the episode!
