Mandy Hart shares her journey from curious kid to sexologist, exploring how sexuality, trauma, and a STI diagnosis shaped her self‑perception and passion for real sexual health education.

She and the host talk about making taboo topics safe to discuss, understanding your body, and why men and women struggle to seek help.

The conversation dives into inner child work, breathwork, body awareness, and vulnerability as tools for processing trauma and building safety within yourself. They close by unpacking how intimacy goes far beyond sex, why boundaries matter, and how self‑reflection and hard choices drive real personal growth.
