The Private Parts of Wellness

The Private Parts of Wellness

Jessica Jolie B. the NP

Welcome to The Private Parts of Wellness, where we embrace the messy, imperfect journey of life. Finding balance isn’t about perfection; it’s about showing up, making choices, and accepting the beauty and chaos along the way. No pressure, no perfection— We’ll dive into everything from sex, hormones, aging, science, and a bit of the "woo woo". With a double board-certified family nurse practitioner and certified menopause provider. Heads up—She curses, so this podcast may not be suitable for the office or a carpool with kids. Life is messy, and that’s where the magic happens.

Late one night when I saw too many IG posts, to much news and had had it I asked ChatGpt to write a story for me. The prompt was: Predict a global good outcome, one that could happen. Right now it seems that America is falling into fascism and evil, regression into times of violence. Please write a story of prediction where equity for all people and the earth itself is preserved and humans exist and while flawed have an understanding that we are all cousins, part of the human race.

Sex Nurse

**How I Became a “Sex Nurse”** When my son was in 2nd grade, he described my work as that of a “sex nurse.” Before that, he amusingly referred to it as “sex work.” I've been talking to people about sex and sexuality for a very long time. In fact, a friend reminded me that I started discussing menopause in 7th grade, and my favorite childhood book was “Where Did I Come From.” This episode offers a brief look at how I started, where I’ve been, and what I hope to continue doing, including this podc

Why talk about herpes in a show about aging? Because it’s so common! You DEFINITELY know someone with a cold sore, if that someone isn't you.
