Uplift For Her

Episode 51 - Kristina Hanson, pelvic floor physical therapist and founder of Uplift Pelvic Health & Wellness, joins us to explore the physical, emotional, and social dimensions of female sexuality. If sex has ever felt painful, disconnected, or simply not like it “should,” you are not alone—and you are not broken. In this eye-opening and compassionate conversation, Kristina offers clinical insight, hopeful strategies, and gentle guidance for reconnecting with your body, reigniting intimacy, and reclaiming your own definition of sexual wellness.

We discuss the anatomy of arousal, the surprising complexity of female sexuality, how trauma (big and small) can live in the pelvic floor, and why communication and consent—especially with yourself—are critical to feeling safe and experiencing pleasure again. This is a must-listen for anyone who’s ever felt dismissed, disconnected, or unsure where to begin.

Episode 43 - Sharon McMahon, known as “America’s Government Teacher” and author of the bestselling book The Small and the Mighty, joins us to talk about how even small actions can lead to big change in our communities. Sharon brings her signature clarity, warmth, and humor to topics that often feel overwhelming: civic engagement, political polarization, social media overload, and how to maintain hope in the face of discouraging news.

Together, we unpack what it looks like to live with intention and purpose, even when the issues seem too big to solve. Sharon introduces us to the concept of doing “the next needed thing,” a small but powerful shift in perspective that can lead to real, lasting change—starting in our own homes, classrooms, and neighborhoods. She also explains how forming real-world connections, like the women’s clubs of the early 20th century, can combat the loneliness and division so many feel today.
