About this listen

The Nerve to Heal is hosted by two certified Sexological Bodyworkers who dive into the rich and often misunderstood connection between the mind, body, and nervous system. Together, they explore how emotional and physical pain are deeply intertwined—and how lasting healing requires more than just symptom relief. With science-backed insights, personal stories, and candid conversations, this podcast unpacks the role of embodiment, trauma, nervous system regulation, and conscious intimacy in real, lasting transformation. Expect grounded wisdom, a bit of sass, and a radically honest look at what it means to heal from the inside out.Copyright 2025 All rights reserved. Hygiene & Healthy Living

  • The Cervix Episode - The Sacred, the Scarred
    Oct 30 2025

    You’ve probably had a Pap smear. But have you ever talked about it?

    Sylvie and Angie go there—breaking down what really happens at the intersection of medicine, trauma, and the female body. From Nazi medical experiments to modern “standard procedures,” they expose the cold, clinical culture of cervical care and show how somatic awareness can turn one of the most dreaded experiences into an act of radical self-connection.

    You breathe all day… but are you doing it in a way that actually supports your pelvic floor, your pleasure, or your nervous system? In this episode, we explore the sneaky ways breathing habits impact your jaw, your genitals, your sleep, your orgasms, as well as your ability to feel. With practical breath tools (like lateral ribcage expansion and the microcosmic orbit), we guide you back into your body with humour, honesty, and a little drool. (Yes, corks and growling are involved.)
