Intimacy is about so much more than sex; but living with a chronic illness can make every part of it complicated. In this episode, Samantha chats with Ali DiGiacomo, where they dive into the unspoken realities of intimacy and chronic illness; from navigating medical challenges that affect sexual health to building confidence, self-love, and connection.

They explore why open communication with partners matters, how self-care practices can help reignite desire, and the importance of normalizing conversations about intimacy in the chronic illness community. Whether it’s emotional closeness, physical intimacy, or self-pleasure, this conversation encourages listeners to see sexual well-being as a vital part of overall health.

Because intimacy isn’t just about what happens in the bedroom; it’s about reclaiming confidence, connection, and joy in every form.
