The Shifting Bed: Cancer, Pregnancy & Pain in the Bedroom - The Open Bedroom Doors Show Episode 8
Sex doesn't pause when your body changes—it just asks new questions.
In this episode of the "Open Bedroom Doors Show" - Real talk for Real Relationships, Angela Skurtu, Licensed Marriage Therapist and Certified Sex Therapist interviews Diane McClain, a cervical cancer survivor.
This episode explores how cancer, pregnancy, and pain can shift our sexual experiences and redefine intimacy. From the physical realities of pregnancy, to the emotional toll of cancer treatment, to the realities of body image, desire, and discomfort, we hold honest space for what happens when the bedroom becomes unfamiliar territory.
Whether you're navigating these changes yourself or supporting a partner who is, this conversation is about reclaiming connection, compassion, and sexual agency—even when everything feels different.
In this episode of Open Bedroom Doors, we kick things off with our "Sex Positions" segment—this time, showing real-life ways to spice up intimacy during the third trimester.

Next up, I sit down with the incredible Diane McClain, a cervical cancer survivor, to talk about how sex and intimacy shift after cancer—raw, real, and full of wisdom.
We wrap it all up with our "Happy Ending" segment, answering a heartfelt audience question about keeping intimacy alive. Don’t miss it!
