In this deeply personal and illuminating episode, Dr. Brittany Barreto is joined by Crystal Rose Napolitano, somatic sexologist, birth doula, and CEO of Your Body Your Story. Together, they explore the critical connection between the nervous system, attachment strategies, and female sexual health—areas often overlooked in traditional Western medicine.

Crystal shares how her conservative upbringing shaped her journey toward healing, how somatic coaching can unlock sexual freedom, and why conditions like vaginismus and endometriosis deserve more integrated and empathetic care.
