You Are Not Broken
Kelly Casperson, MD
Welcome to the podcast that rewrites everything you thought you knew about sex, hormones, and midlife. I help women—and the people who love them—reconnect with their bodies, their minds, and their partners through science, mindset, and a whole lot of humor. Whether you’re navigating perimenopause, rediscovering desire, or just curious what’s possible, this show will remind you: you are not broken. (No medical advice here, just truth bombs and good conversation.)

Happy New Year 2021! Tips for impossible goals!
Happy New year! I reflect on the past year. How I got started by listening to the voice in my head. Yeah, kinda like Frozen 2 (which my kids are currently watching).
- You have to deal with your limiting beliefs that aren’t moving you forward
Impossible goal for 2021 – how about intimacy? It is the journey, not the destination – a journey of 1,000 miles starts with a single step.
It is not the YOU when you get there – but the journey
What is your reason for your goal? If it is so you feel better about yourself, ask yourself why you can’t feel good about yourself now. You are worthy now, just as you are. Nothing you can get/obtain will CREATE the worthiness. Feeling of worthiness comes from thoughts, not circumstances.
So, if you want to have a better sex life to feel worthy as a spouse etc etc….what is preventing you from feeling worthy as a spouse now?
Watch out for the SHOULDS!
I also share the top four rules by Dr. Rachel Carlton Abrams in “the Multi-Orgasmic Woman".
Self-cultivation – best renaming EVER!
And in the meantime, remember, you are not broken.

Today I am so excited to talk with Dr. Latifat!
She is a GI doctor working in Sacramento, California
She is a graduate of the Life Coach School and coaches women on Money Mindset.
You can find her on FB at MoneyfitMD and at www.moneyfitmd.com
She helps women go from financially overwhelmed to financially confident. It all starts with transforming your relationships with money.
Why talk about money on a podcast about sex?
When She coaches women about money, They spend a lot of time on the relationship with self and how this money drama is really just a phenotype of a deeper issue. When we heal from the inside, money falls into line. I think this relates to sex as well.
Tell us how you got into coaching on money mindset!
Sex , money, mindset are so connected.
1) money in relationships. How to money date your partner. What do you mean by this?
- We don’t have to like the same things, but communication helps us understand the language we are speaking to each other.
- Safe spaces and communicating BEFORE there are issues
2) How to get more (money & sex)
3) Money worries and sex. They can buffer each other . Discuss
4) Developing your other confidence: money confidence.
5) The common beliefs limiting to conquer that will grow your money and sex life.
