Ep 37 - Decoding UTIs and Period Pain

·57 min·2 clips

Your UTI isn't a bacterial accident—your bladder is literally trying to mark its territory.

Ashley Newberry and Abigail Cuccioni open with a reminder that nothing discussed on the podcast should be taken as medical advice. They welcome Roselle Pesetas, describing her as a certified functional nutritionist and health coach, trauma-trained breathwork facilitator, kundalini yoga teacher, and retreat host. The tone stays warm and conversational, and the guest's story remains the center of gravity. The hosts frame the discussion by asking what was happening around the symptoms rather than treating the body as separate from life. Roselle describes how recurring issues can line up with a particular conflict theme. The framework used in the conversation treats the body as purposeful rather than broken. One thread that comes up is sexual frustration. Another is gender conflict, which the hosts distinguish carefully from the sexual frustration theme. They talk about the feeling of wanting protection and provision from a man, as well as wondering whether he is the right long-term partner. Roselle describes how that uncertainty can recur when new information appears in a relationship and someone has to rethink what they assumed about the future. The discussion also names harsher conflict experiences, including belittling treatment, verbal insults, harassment, and ugly breakups or divorces. The hosts keep asking what repeated in the psyche and in daily life, and that question shapes the whole conversation. Rather than moving quickly, the episode lingers inside the story and then pulls out the pattern underneath it. Near the end, the conversation turns toward support and resiliency. The hosts suggest that putting support in place before a major decision can be a smart way to reduce conflict. The episode closes with appreciation for Roselle's openness and a reminder that listeners can find the hosts' coaching services and links in the podcast description.

A relationship-centered health conversation that stays with Roselle's recurring conflict story.

This episode works best when Ashley and Abigail stay close to Roselle Pesetas's story. They keep returning to the same ordinary questions: what was going on in the relationship, what kind of conflict kept repeating, and how that pattern showed up again and again.
