In this heartfelt and empowering episode of PCOS Unfiltered, Lindsie sits down with Tamilynn Edwards for part 2 for a deeply honest conversation about PCOS, body image, intimacy, hormones, and self-worth. Tamilynn shares her personal journey navigating decades of hormonal struggles, chronic pain, surgery, misinformation, and ultimately learning how to reconnect with her body instead of fighting against it. Together, they explore how PCOS impacts far more than physical symptoms — influencing confidence, desire, relationships, communication, and the way women view themselves. The episode dives into the emotional burden many women carry after years of feeling dismissed by the healthcare system, trying countless diets or treatments, and believing their bodies are somehow “broken.” Tamilynn opens up about her experience with metabolic resistance, alternative healing approaches, gastric bypass as a tool rather than a cure, and how learning to truly listen to her body changed everything. As the conversation unfolds, Tamilynn shares how her own experiences eventually led her into the world of intimacy coaching and clinical sexology, where she now helps women and couples better understand desire, arousal, hormonal changes, and body communication in a shame-free and empowering way. The episode closes with a powerful reminder from Lindsie: you are not broken. Your body is not something to fight — it is something to understand, reconnect with, and learn from.

(0:00) That information turns to communication, right? (0:03) So because I have the right information, (0:05) now I can communicate my wants, my needs, my desires, (0:09) whether it's with my partner, (0:11) with my healthcare professionals, with my coaches, (0:15) because like I think I said to you before, (0:17) one of my famous things that I love to tell people (0:19) is the longest relationship you will ever have (0:22) is with yourself. (0:23) So if you do not know how to communicate with yourself, (0:26) that's where I get to come in (0:27) and really help give you the tools (0:30) to be able to take that pause, listen, (0:35) understand your body, feel the feelings (0:37) and ask for what you want and for what you need (0:40) because you deserve it. (0:43) Hey beautiful, welcome back to PCOS Unfiltered.(0:47) I'm your host, Lindsie. (0:48) And today's episode is one that I think (0:50) is going to land on a very deep level (0:53) because we're talking about something (0:54) that doesn't get talked about nearly enough. (0:57) And that's the connection between PCOS, (1:00) your body and your relationship (1:01) with intimacy, desire and self-worth.(1:05) Today, I'm joined by Tamilynn Edwards, (1:07) a board certified clinical sexologist and intimacy coach (1:10) who has over 18 years of experience (1:12) helping women reconnect with their bodies (1:14) in a way that feels safe, empowering (1:17) and completely shame-free.
(1:19) But what makes this conversation so powerful is her story. (1:23) Tammy Lynn was diagnosed with PCOS at just 15 years old, (1:26) navigating years of confusion, pain, dismissal (1:29) and major medical decisions (1:31) without truly being given the full picture (1:33) of what was happening in her body.(1:35) And like so many of you listening, (1:37) she was left trying to figure it out on her own. (1:39) In this episode, we go way beyond the surface (1:42) and talk about how PCOS can impact (1:44) not just your physical health, (1:46) but your relationship with your body and sexuality, (1:49) the emotional toll of feeling dismissed, (1:51) misunderstood or broken. (1:53) Why so many women struggle with desire, arousal (1:56) and body confidence (1:57) and what's actually happening underneath that.(2:00) The importance of learning your body, (2:02) advocating for yourself (2:02) and using the right language to communicate (2:05) what you're experiencing. (2:06) And one of the biggest themes of all, (2:08) why you are not broken and never were. (2:11) This conversation is honest, raw and incredibly empowering (2:15) and it's going to help you see your body (2:16) in a completely different way.(2:18) As a reminder, the content shared on PCOS Unfiltered (2:22) is for informational and educational purposes only.

(2:44) Now let's get into it. (2:45) Here's my conversation with Tammy Lynn Edwards.(2:55) Now, I think you mentioned that you did see (2:58) like a Chinese like herbalist or something (3:00) at some point in your journey too. (3:02) Yes, so I think it was, (3:05) so it was after I had the partial hysterectomy, (3:10) so probably about five or six years later, (3:12) I was having a lot of pain. (3:14) And again, when you understand the structure of your body (3:18) and so on and so forth, (3:19) and knowing that they kept my ovaries, (3:22) I knew that the only difference (3:26) is I just wouldn't have a period, (3:27) but I would still have my ovaries, (3:29) I'm still releasing, I'm still producing, (3:31) I'm still all of those things.
(3:34) So they were the size of grapefruits, (3:36) I was in excruciating pain. (3:38) It seemed like, (3:38) and I don't wanna say it seemed like all the time, (3:40) but when I think about it now, (3:42) I think I suffered through it so much (3:44) that I didn't realize that I was in so much pain (3:46) because it was so constant. (3:49) And I didn't wanna be the complainer.(3:53) I didn't, you know what I mean? (3:53) Like I didn't wanna keep going, keep going, keep going (3:56) and you keep just giving me another pain medication. (3:59) No, like I actually wanna fix it. (4:01) Like stop sending me, (4:04) stop prescribing stuff to me (4:07) in hopes that it's gonna work.(4:09) Can we find, can we figure something out? (4:13) So when I went to my family doctor, (4:15) who's a GP, which I learned, (4:18) GP means a general practitioner. (4:20) This is all they do. (4:21) Their whole purpose for being (4:22) is to have you come in, present a problem.
(4:27) They're then going to refer, (4:30) which is how they make their money, (4:32) refer you to a specialist (4:35) in whatever realm of that problem. (4:38) So he continuously kept wanting to give me pills, (4:41) pain pills, and I'm like, that's not gonna work. (4:44) So we went for, I went for an ultrasound (4:46) and I had gone to see a Chinese naturopath.(4:50) And I, and again, I've always been very upfront (4:52) and very honest. (4:53) And I had gone back to my family doctor (4:56) and he said, don't tell me exactly what you're doing (5:03) because it doesn't fall in line with, again, (5:06) their box that they're supposed to stay in. (5:08) However, what I will do is, (5:12) I can't tell you what not to do with your body, (5:13) but what I will do is we'll do the ultrasound now, (5:16) come back in three months and let me know.(5:18) So we did.
(5:20) So I was taking this Chinese tea. (5:22) Please do not ask what was in it.(5:23) I have no idea. (5:25) All I knew is I went to see a Chinese naturopath (5:27) and I was like, here's what I'm experiencing. (5:30) I'm just in a lot of pain (5:31) and I don't want to take pain medication.(5:33) What do I do? (5:35) And, you know, there's three Chinese naturopaths (5:38) who again came up with this concoction of tea (5:41) of different herbs and things like that. (5:43) And I'm not saying go do that, (5:44) but what I am saying for me, it worked. (5:48) So the cysts on my ovaries went (5:50) from the size of grapefruits.(5:52) I think there was like two or three of them (5:54) that disappeared. (5:55) The rest of them got down to like the size of golf balls (5:57) or like the little red plums. (6:02) And I didn't have any pain, right? (6:04) And how I knew that it was working is because, (6:06) like I said, my doctor did the ultrasound.(6:08) I started doing the tea and then I went back. (6:13) Because again, you don't want to keep taking (6:15) all this wild and crazy stuff if it's not gonna work, right? (6:20) Number one. (6:21) Number two, if I really don't know how to pronounce (6:24) the blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, tea ingredient, right? (6:26) Like it's not just, it's not just honey.
(6:28) You know what I mean? (6:29) Like if I don't know how to pronounce these things, (6:30) they do, but I'm not, you know what, I'm not there. (6:33) I just also wanted to make sure (6:35) that in order for me to be healthy (6:37) and go for a walk with my kids, you know what I mean? (6:41) So when I did go back and we got the ultrasound (6:45) and we could visibly see that some had disappeared, (6:49) some had just shrunk. (6:51) I kept taking the tea.(6:53) Yeah. (6:53) You know what I mean? (6:54) And then from there, I only ended up going back (6:57) to see my family physician basically (7:01) for my transvaginal ultrasounds and my mammogram. (7:07) So I only went back to see him once a year (7:09) because again, thank goodness, (7:12) I have not had any pain for the last 10 years.(7:20) Am I still drinking the tea?
(7:22) No, but I also, oh yeah. (7:25) And actually I should probably remember this too. (7:28) So I remember I went to go see an endocrinologist (7:30) and his suggestion to me was no citrus, (7:35) no acid and no bottom fears.(7:38) And I was like, and I was like, and I didn't, (7:41) and I really didn't understand. (7:42) And then he also said no exotic fruit. (7:45) So he, and he didn't give me the full on explanation (7:48) other than the exotic fruit, (7:50) because it already has high in natural sugar, (7:53) because I didn't go into like, I'm now diabetic, (7:57) but having that much sugar in your body, it could convert.(8:01) So I just, I think for probably almost 20 years, (8:05) I never had any exotic, like I never had oranges. (8:08) I never had limes. (8:09) I never had nothing for almost 20 years.(8:12) And then with the bottom feeders, (8:14) I really was like bottom feeders. (8:15) He was like, you know, shrimp, crab, (8:19) anything that sits on the bottom of the ocean (8:20) or the bottom of the sea, (8:21) because they literally eat garbage (8:23) is literally what he said to me. (8:29) And like I said, sometimes when I go back (8:31) and I think about some of the things (8:33) that some of these doctors have said to me, (8:35) I really would love to be able to make an appointment (8:37) and go back, go back now and be like, (8:41) so would you like to change those statements? (8:43) Because let me just tell you.(8:46) And again, doing gastric bypass, (8:49) it was a huge struggle for me, (8:52) more so because the dietician is like, here's the foods.
(8:57) And because I was already eating healthy, (8:59) but I hadn't had citrus, acid, exotic fruit, bottom feed. (9:05) There's so many foods that I did not eat at all whatsoever.(9:10) And when I think about it, I didn't lose any weight. (9:12) I didn't even maintain my weight, right? (9:16) So when I did gastric and I had to meet with the dietician, (9:20) that was my biggest struggle (9:21) for getting the surgery approved, was the dietician. (9:25) Because I argued with her back and forth.(9:27) I was like, I've been told by an endocrinologist (9:28) that I cannot have any of these things. (9:30) So it was a huge learning curve for me (9:34) to understand the benefits of some of those foods, (9:37) moderation in some of those foods, (9:39) and that I could actually have a mango if I wanted a mango, (9:44) that I could have a pineapple if I wanted pineapple, (9:47) that I should actually be eating an orange.
(9:50) And that shrimp, the protein in shrimp is actually a benefit.(9:54) You know what I mean? (9:55) So it was a huge, huge learning curve (9:57) because like we talked earlier, (10:00) you have the GP who sends you to a specialist (10:02) who sometimes they really actually, (10:05) though they have the title specialist, (10:08) but when was the last time you actually read (10:09) one of the research papers (10:10) or actually did any of the work required (10:12) to now tell somebody not to eat these things? (10:16) Yeah, yeah, yeah. (10:20) It literally blows my mind. (10:22) Yeah, I mean, and yeah, because along with that, (10:24) when they go to medical school, it's like, (10:27) I don't even know, I've heard, you know, three hours.(10:31) I've heard maybe like three days, you know, (10:33) out of what, eight plus years, a lot of the times of training. (10:37) And it depends on which school you go to, yeah.
(10:40) Yeah, yeah.(10:41) And they get like nutrition training. (10:43) And I say that lightly because a lot of times it's okay, (10:47) well, if they have this condition, (10:49) this is what they should be eating, you know? (10:53) And it's like some blanket thing. (10:56) It's not, yeah.(11:01) Oh yeah. (11:02) I learned the hard way. (11:05) Yeah, yeah.(11:06) I mean, and I think too, that kind of goes back (11:08) to what you're saying about, you know, (11:09) like listening to your body, (11:12) listening to exactly, you know, (11:13) where you're feeling it and all that. (11:15) But I talk about that a lot of the times too, (11:17) but, you know, keep track of it for a few days (11:20) and like, you know, where you're feeling it in your body, (11:24) what were you experiencing, you know, (11:25) especially when it comes to something around food, (11:28) what effects did you notice like after you had X, Y, (11:33) and Z food, you know, there might be a group, (11:35) but like to just blanket, like cut out a lot of things, (11:39) especially things that can give you (11:41) a lot of those nutrients, like you said, proteins, (11:43) you know, all that stuff, (11:44) just all those vitamins and minerals too, (11:46) that are in a lot of those fruits is crazy.
(11:52) Yes, oh yeah, oh yeah, oh yeah, oh yeah.(11:57) When you were mentioning, (11:58) cause I just want you to maybe explain a little bit (12:00) if you can, you know, how the doctor said (12:02) that your like VAT receptors were like shut off. (12:06) Like how did he kind of like determine that (12:09) or describe that to you? (12:11) So first and foremost, this is what he, (12:13) the way he explained it is first and foremost. (12:15) So because we were using Ozempic, (12:17) and this is again, back when Ozempic was only used (12:20) for specific people, right? (12:23) You could just go online to a pharmacy (12:25) and let's, this is what we're gonna grab.(12:29) But what we did is because we did it (12:31) for a full three months, (12:33) and we had already been tracking (12:36) all of my other things prior to, right?
(12:41) So, and I was eating, (12:43) I think by then I was eating, (12:46) yeah, I was eating six times a day. (12:49) Again, just smaller portions, (12:51) but I was actually eating six times a day. (12:54) And I was doing the same site every single time (13:00) with the whole nine yards.(13:01) And what we did is I actually did tape measure (13:05) as well as a scale. (13:07) Just because I feel like, again, (13:09) a lot of times we get on the scale (13:12) and because our brain is programmed to my height, my weight, (13:15) that they say I'm supposed to be this, (13:18) we are so fixated on a number (13:20) that we don't realize that weight shifts. (13:24) Yeah, yeah, I tell people to take pictures too.(13:26) Like definitely the measurements are great, (13:28) but even just take some pictures (13:29) because a lot of times we're gonna notice things. (13:32) Yes, yes, so what we noticed is (13:37) I didn't actually lose anything, I actually gained.
(13:45) So, and the way he explained it is (13:50) in some people's bodies, it's the way, (13:55) and I can't remember the different types of fat, (13:56) but the different types of fat that are in your body.(13:59) And so, because I had, (14:01) and it wasn't that I gained an exorbitant amount of weight, (14:04) but I think I was, I think it was like 246 (14:08) and I had gone up to 248 in three months. (14:12) Food was exactly the same. (14:14) The only difference is now I was eating smaller portions (14:17) of the same foods.(14:19) I was sleeping, I was going for exercise. (14:22) So I was doing all of the things, but somehow or another, (14:27) even with the consistent activity, (14:29) I was still doing all of the things. (14:31) My body just was not responding (14:33) to any stimuli at all whatsoever.(14:36) And he explained it, he was like, it's kind of like, (14:43) and I can't remember the actual terminology, (14:45) but the way I look at it is kind of like your, (14:50) because my son has ADHD, (14:51) so it kind of reminds me of kind of like that. (14:54) The ADHD kid, well, at least mine anyways, (14:57) he has all of this energy. (15:00) He can not eat all day long.(15:03) And he will gorge at like 10 or 11 o'clock at night (15:06) and eat two or three huge, huge meals.
(15:09) His metabolism, and he's still this big and he's 31, (15:13) but his metabolism, it literally is going through it. (15:17) So it's actually fueling that.(15:19) Mine didn't have any, it did nothing, (15:22) like literally nothing at all whatsoever, (15:24) where what it should be doing (15:26) is kind of waking up that metabolism (15:30) to kind of be like, hello, (15:32) you want to use the fat from the food that she's eating. (15:37) You want to use the protein to fuel. (15:39) It did nothing, literally at all.(15:42) Whereas when you take a drug, something like similar to that, (15:46) that is what it's supposed to do. (15:47) It's supposed to turn on that metabolism (15:50) to start using the food for fuel. (15:54) My body was not doing that, like at all.(15:58) My body was like, yeah, so she just stuck me. (16:01) Okay, and what's next? (16:03) You know what I mean? (16:03) It was kind of like my body was like, yeah, yeah, okay. (16:06) Yeah, that's not gonna work.(16:07) Yeah, sorry, what's next? (16:09) Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. (16:11) No, that's, I mean, and that's good too. (16:13) And I'm glad that you're sharing that too, (16:14) because like you said, all of these GLP-1s, (16:19) weight loss drugs, whatever you want to say, (16:20) but they're also readily available, (16:23) easily accessible now.(16:25) Which is very scary to me. (16:27) Yeah, yeah, and I've actually done an episode recently (16:30) with someone where we talk about, sure, (16:32) like they're great as a tool, as a bridge, (16:34) like however you want to use it. (16:35) If you're doing all the things with it, (16:39) and so for you, yeah, you gave it a try.(16:42) You were doing all the things. (16:44) It didn't work, and for some people, (16:47) I think when they get on it, (16:48) they think that's gonna be the fix. (16:50) That's gonna be, you know, it.(16:53) And so I think also knowing (16:55) that it may not work for everybody.
(16:59) And you're okay with that. (17:00) You know what I mean? (17:00) I think that is the other thing is, (17:02) is having a realistic expectation of your body, number one, (17:08) and you are on your own personal journey.(17:13) Other people are along for the ride, (17:14) but this is my journey. (17:16) The same thing, we talked about this too briefly. (17:20) I know, and I have met a good number of people (17:23) who have all had gastric bypass (17:24) for multiple different reasons, (17:25) but even the nurses and the doctors have asked me, (17:28) what did I do? (17:30) What did I do differently than other people? (17:32) Because I didn't lose my hair.(17:34) I didn't have the overabundance of excess skin. (17:37) I didn't, and I've maintained my weight, (17:41) a lot of those things. (17:43) First and foremost, it's a personalized experience, (17:45) number one.(17:46) Number two, I truly and honestly believe (17:48) that because of my hormonal imbalances prior to, (17:54) and the lifestyle that I had already been living, (17:57) this is the reason why it has been my tool, (18:01) literally a tool. (18:03) It is a lifestyle change.
(18:06) But yes, I do not drink alcohol.(18:09) I do know that if I want gummy worms, (18:11) we're in problem land, right? (18:14) But you know what I mean? (18:15) But all of those things, (18:17) people truly, truly, truly need to understand (18:21) that you're not broken. (18:24) You are not a project that needs to be fixed. (18:27) This is a journey.(18:29) And the process of that journey, (18:32) a lot of times is to teach us something about ourselves (18:36) and whether that is self-confidence, (18:41) learning how to encourage yourself, (18:43) learning how to ask for help, (18:46) as women, we don't do that. (18:48) And I feel like this journey with PCOS, (18:51) it's all of, encompasses all of those things. (18:54) And when we stop focusing on the outcome, (18:58) the journey becomes a little smoother.(19:03) I don't wanna say it's easy. (19:05) I really don't, because I don't think, (19:07) because I don't think that that's the design.
(19:12) And I also feel like for anybody who says, (19:14) well, we could reverse, (19:16) okay, listen, I'm a little skeptical of all of those things.(19:20) I'm kind of a believer of learning your body, (19:26) what you and your body needs, (19:30) and having a goal. (19:36) Is it, do you wanna be healthy? (19:37) Is it, do you want, (19:38) like, what is it that you ultimately want for your life? (19:42) Yeah. (19:42) And then you add your body to that.(19:46) Yeah. (19:47) Yeah, yeah. (19:49) As we kind of wrap, start wrapping up, (19:52) I do want you to talk about what you're doing now.(19:56) Oh, okay. (19:57) So what I will say is, again, like I said, (20:01) this has been like a wonderful, like, (20:03) 35-year journey with my PCOS. (20:05) However, in between that time, (20:09) in my 20s, especially after the partial hysterectomy, (20:13) because I was so young, (20:14) I wasn't educated at what happens to your lady bits, (20:18) what happens to your vulva, (20:20) when, and your sex drive, (20:22) when you really don't actually understand what's happening.
(20:28) Lubrication, vaginal dryness, irritability, (20:33) all of these things that I never experienced before (20:37) were starting to happen. (20:38) And it's not like I had some education on it. (20:40) And it's not like when somebody has a major surgery, (20:45) they have a consultation with a doctor, (20:46) they have all these conversations.(20:48) When you have a partial hysterectomy, (20:49) it's almost like, oh, well, (20:51) you must know because you're a woman. (20:52) No, I have no idea. (20:54) I didn't know.(20:56) But that's also kind of when I went down this rabbit hole (20:59) of understanding what my hormones did for me. (21:04) And in that time, I wanted to have good sex. (21:09) Like I was still young, I wanted to have good sex, (21:13) but I wanted, I also needed to understand that (21:15) just because I didn't have a uterus (21:17) didn't mean that I wasn't a woman, right? (21:19) Because I think there's some people (21:21) who go through that battle within themselves.(21:24) And I'm grateful that I never had a partner in my life (21:26) who felt that way, but I felt that way (21:31) because the vaginal lubrication wasn't, it wasn't there.
(21:35) And I didn't have, I didn't, you know what I mean? (21:37) So I had kind of fallen down a rabbit hole of, (21:41) you know, conversations. (21:42) And one of my friends had asked, (21:44) if you could do anything in the world, (21:46) what do you wanna do? (21:46) And I was like, I wanna stand on stages (21:48) and talk about sex and intimacy (21:49) and how to have really good orgasms.(21:51) And my friend's like, where did that come from? (21:54) I don't know, but that's what I wanna do. (21:57) Which then took me down this wonderful, wonderful path (22:00) of researching different career paths. (22:06) And because I'm in Canada, you know, (22:09) in order to be a sexologist, (22:11) you have to go and get a master's, (22:13) you have to go get a PhD or social work.(22:16) And I was like, I don't wanna be a doctor.
(22:17) Like I have no desire to diagnose anybody (22:19) with anything at all whatsoever. (22:21) And I'm too much of an empath to be a therapist.(22:24) Like I will cry with you, this is a really bad idea. (22:27) So I really, really, really started kind of down that path. (22:31) And for, I think this year will be 20 years, (22:35) I have been in homes, women's homes and living rooms (22:39) and conference centers across the US and Canada, (22:42) teaching about sexual health and wellness, (22:44) using toys and how to, the best lubrications, (22:51) the best arousal gels and creams.(22:53) And over that time, (22:55) I found that not only was I learning about my own body, (23:01) but the women that I was talking to all had the same story, (23:05) like you mentioned, when you look at PCOS as a whole, (23:09) though the symptoms are very, very different (23:14) and extremely vast, (23:15) but the experiences are very similar (23:19) and almost mimic one another based on (23:22) not even just where you are in the country, (23:25) where you are in the world, (23:27) it's generally around the same, right? (23:30) So I just found, again, in that journey, (23:33) I met a lot of women who all had the same desires, (23:38) the same questions, the same curiosity, (23:41) or the biggest one, the same misconceptions (23:44) about their bodies and desire and arousal. (23:48) And why is my body doing this? (23:51) How can my body do this?
(23:53) And then finally, in my late forties, (23:56) I met somebody who's a Canadian (24:00) and she introduced me to a program. (24:03) And she's like, just so you know, (24:06) you're gonna have to apply.(24:07) It is a master's level and they are taking Canadians. (24:11) So I applied and I am now, (24:17) now mind you, it's been a very interesting couple of years, (24:19) obviously, because you're in your mid to late forties, (24:23) learning that you're also perimenopausal. (24:25) So the brain fog, the memory loss, (24:27) all of those things while you're doing, right? (24:29) Like while you're doing a master's level program (24:31) in clinical sexology in conjunction with being a sex coach.(24:36) So that's what I do now. (24:38) And the majority of the people that I see now (24:41) are perimenopausal, menopausal women and couples, (24:47) because I see not even just for myself, (24:50) but a lot of women that I've seen over the years, (24:54) again, like I said, they all have the same questions, (24:57) but the amount of miseducation, (24:59) and it's not even just lack of, (25:01) because there is education out there, (25:03) but it's the miseducation and the misinformation. (25:07) And I truly and honestly believe had I not educated myself, (25:13) I would not be where I am right now.(25:15) And I feel like every single woman on the planet (25:20) deserves that information (25:23) in order for them to make informed choices for themselves.
(25:26) And the only way to possibly do that (25:28) is for me to be the nerd that I am. (25:31) And you know what I mean? (25:33) And do the groundwork for that.(25:35) So I offer one-to-one coachings and couple sessions, (25:42) and then also a couple eBooks. (25:47) And this spring, I'm actually launching a full program (25:51) that people can actually take either online or in-person, (25:54) because I truly and honestly believe that, again, (25:56) like I said, if you don't have the information, (25:59) you feel almost lost. (26:03) And that information turns to communication, right? (26:06) So because I have the right information, (26:08) now I can communicate my wants, my needs, my desires, (26:12) whether it's with my partner, (26:14) with my healthcare professionals, with my coaches, (26:18) because like I think I said to you before, (26:21) one of my famous things that I love to tell people (26:23) is the longest relationship you will ever have (26:25) is with yourself.(26:27) So if you do not know how to communicate with yourself, (26:30) that's where I get to come in (26:31) and really help give you the tools (26:33) to be able to take that pause, listen, (26:38) understand your body, feel the feelings (26:41) and ask for what you want and for what you need, (26:44) because you deserve it. (26:46) Yeah, yeah, yeah. (26:47) So here I am.
(26:48) I'm so excited. (26:50) I'm like, and it's crazy, (26:52) because as soon as I start talking, (26:53) but I'm like, oh, the nerd in me, (26:56) like, I'm not even kidding. (26:57) Like literally the nerd in me, (26:58) just I'm like, oh, I'm just so ready to nerd out.(27:02) Well, that's how you know you're passionate about it, right? (27:05) Oh yeah, oh yeah, yeah. (27:06) Because I'm like, I truly believe this work found me. (27:09) It's not like I said, I'm going to wake up one day (27:11) and this is what I want to do.(27:12) No, I already had kids. (27:13) Like I already had a career, okay? (27:15) Like, no, that's not what happened, at all. (27:19) Yeah.(27:21) Well, I think that's a great way to end this. (27:25) You know, we might have to do another episode, (27:26) just more specific to, you know, (27:29) the sexual health stuff that you teach. (27:32) Yes, yes, definitely.(27:33) But last question is how can anybody find you (27:36) and connect with you? (27:37) Of course, I'll link everything in the show notes, (27:39) but you know, how can somebody find you? (27:41) So my website, Sensuality Coach Clinic, (27:46) and then of course, I will make sure (27:48) that I give you a link for an ebook (27:51) to really kind of tap into your sensuality. (27:55) Go ahead, check out the ebook.
(27:57) Then I've got a couple other things, (27:58) definitely on TikTok, Coach Tammy Lynn, (28:02) and then on Instagram.(28:04) What am I on Instagram? (28:05) Sensuality Coach Clinic. (28:08) I'm like, I'm in all the places. (28:10) I'm like, let me see where I can go.(28:11) Like, cause I feel like everybody needs to understand this (28:13) and feel comfortable, right? (28:16) Yeah. (28:17) So I'm in all the places. (28:19) Yeah.(28:21) Well, thank you. (28:22) Thank you for sharing your story, you know, for being here. (28:27) I think so, so many women need to hear, you know, (28:30) everything you have to say, so.(28:33) So I really, really appreciate it. (28:34) Thank you. (28:34) Thank you.(28:35) You're welcome, and thank you. (28:39) If there's one message I hope you take away (28:42) from today's episode, it's this. (28:44) You are not broken.(28:46) Not your hormones, not your body, not your desire. (28:49) Nothing about you is something that needs to be fixed. (28:52) What you've been missing is understanding.(28:54) Understanding your body, understanding your patterns, (28:57) understanding how your hormones, your nervous system, (29:00) and your experiences have shaped the way you feel. (29:03) And when you start to understand, (29:05) everything begins to shift. (29:07) I loved what Tammy Lynn shared about this being a journey.(29:11) Not something to rush, not something to hack, (29:13) but something to actually experience.
(29:15) Because when you stop trying to force your body (29:17) into someone else's version of hell (29:19) and start learning what your body needs, (29:22) that's where confidence comes from. (29:23) And that's where trust comes from.(29:25) And honestly, that's where true intimacy begins. (29:28) So maybe your next step isn't doing more. (29:31) Maybe it's pausing, getting curious, (29:33) and actually listening to what your body (29:35) has been trying to tell you all along.(29:37) Remember, your body isn't something to fight. (29:40) It's something to reconnect with. (29:42) If you loved this episode, make sure to subscribe (29:44) so you don't miss what's coming up next.(29:47) Share this with someone who needs to hear (29:48) that they are not broken. (29:50) And leave a review so more women (29:52) can find these conversations. (29:53) And as always, if you're ready to go deeper (29:55) into understanding your body, your hormones, (29:58) and your relationship with food and yourself, (30:00) you can find all the ways to work with me (30:02) in the show notes.(30:03) I'm sending you so much love, (30:04) and I'll see you on the next episode (30:06) of PCOS Unfiltered, Nourish, Heal, Thrive.
