Let's Talk About Sex...ual Health & Pain With Sex.

Melissa Clark is a Nurse Practitioner, with over 14 years of experience, specifically with women's health. Amy invited Melissa to talk about Menopause in a previous episode and diving into sexual health. Melissa's approach to women's health is multi-disciplinary. This is why the Dear Misfits Podcast was so excited to be able sit down with her for two episodes to discuss topics that aren't talked about enough.  The goals of this episode is to plant a seed of encouragement for you to consider your needs. Do you have pain with sex? Do you have other issues with your sexual health? Let's first get comfortable thinking about it so that you can get comfortable to move ahead with some strategies to help your concerns!

What is Menopause... Actually?

Please, for the love, listen to this episode about Menopause. Amy discusses Menopause with Melissa Clark, a Nurse Practitioner, who has focused on Women's Health for over 14 years.  Melissa's approach to Women's Health included focusing on the whole woman, not just one aspect.  Plus she is a collaborative practitioner that understands the value of a team approach to an individual's health.
Menopause has a lot of misconception around it. There is also a lot of mystery on what actually defines Menopause. We try to clear some of that up with Amy and Melissa. 
Check out this episode, we hope it clears up some questions and sheds some light on the fact there is NO one sized fits all approach. You are you. A beautiful and uniquely made creation. So that is how your health needs to be addressed!
