Introduction

by Eve Hall | Jul 12, 2023

In the debut episode of Please Me Podcast, host Eve, a licensed physical therapist and sexual health advocate, steps into the guest seat as she is interviewed by Pamela Aniese, owner and on-air radio personality of Lit 97.1 in Knoxville, TN. This foundational episode introduces listeners to Eve’s personal story, professional background, and the deeply meaningful mission behind the creation of the Please Me Podcast.

Eve courageously shares her journey as a survivor of childhood sexual abuse, opening up about how trauma shaped her relationship with her body, intimacy, and sexual health. Through vulnerability and honesty, she explains how her lived experience inspired her work as a physical therapist and fueled her passion for destigmatizing sexual health conversations, especially for women who have been taught to suffer in silence.

This episode explores the connection between trauma, the nervous system, and sexual health, offering insight into how unresolved trauma can manifest as pain, shame, disconnection, or difficulty experiencing pleasure. Eve also addresses the orgasm gap, societal expectations placed on women, and the staggering statistic that nearly 80% of women report having faked an orgasm—a reflection of how deeply shame and lack of communication are embedded in sexual relationships.

Pamela guides the conversation with compassion and curiosity, allowing Eve to explain why honest communication, self-advocacy, and trauma-informed care are essential components of sexual healing. Together, they discuss why women deserve accurate sexual health education, access to supportive care, and permission to prioritize their own pleasure and wellbeing.

As the first episode of Please Me Podcast, this conversation sets the tone for a platform dedicated to sexual empowerment, healing after trauma, and shame-free education.
