What if our understanding of sex, especially in the medical world, is all wrong? In this passionate and unfiltered conversation, Surabhi Veitch is joined by pelvic health physical therapist, sexuality educator and counselor Dr. Uchenna Ossai, also known as Dr. UC. They explore how pleasure is more than just an orgasm, why goal-oriented sex is limiting, and how cultural identities shape our experiences with intimacy.

From navigating sexual shame to being more present during sex across different life challenges like pregnancy and postpartum, this episode is a must-listen for anyone who works in healthcare or anyone who wants to elevate their intimacy.

They also dive into the Pelvic Health Sexuality Counseling Certificate Program by Dr. Uchenna Ossai and Heather Edwards, a fellow pelvic physiotherapist, and they discuss why intersectionality must be central to how healthcare providers approach care.
