About this episode
Alyssa is a 31-year-old high school educator who’s been married to her high school sweetheart for 9 years. When she became sexually active in high school, she was terrified of pregnancy. Even though she was using birth control, she was so anxious for weeks afterward that it was hard to function. Once she was married and decided to start a family, Alyssa experienced two back-to- back miscarriages. Although she was told by the medical professionals treating her that this experience was routine and normal, it left her traumatized, fearful and grieving. She describes losing all trust in her body and shutting down sexually for years afterward. Listen as Alyssa talks about how Wanting It More helped her learn to use her intuition to reconnect with her body and her husband again in a safe and meaningful way.
