Turning On Your Superheroine

MD, OBGYN, Reproductive Endocrinologist, coach, athlete, mom and perpetual student Dr. Tina Koopersmith shows us how discovering our own individual true joy can help us finally move on from perennial state of ‘survival stress’ to a new state of true healing and regeneration.

Starting with a big question – why it is imperative for women to rediscover their voice now – Heather and Tina dive deep into how women’s expectations and experiences are shaped by societal expectations and norms. Women have actual superpowers – like bringing new life into the world. Why doesn’t our culture in general seem to see us that way? As women, how can we turn on the superheroine already inside each one of us?

What does it mean to really listen to your body and understand its signals, instead of listening to something else? How do we help ourselves – and each other – find lessons in pain, challenges, even disease? More importantly, how can we learn to hear our bodies signaling the need for change?

Tina shares experiences and observations that have lead her to conclude that staying “turned on” with pleasure and joy is essential for living the life we want, while living in pain and constant suffering will likely lead us to overall stagnation and even further illness.

Tina speaks to the importance of sexuality for our greater wellness, expanding the notion beyond the physical act to a state of being truly present and experiencing pleasure beyond societal boundaries, which often prevent women from fully owning their sexuality and pleasure.

Finally, Tina introduces the concept of erotic blueprints, which help us better understand the different ways that different people experience arousal and pleasure, including ourselves and our partners. Relaxation, self-care, and creating balance come up, as well as the importance of open communication for our greater well being, especially in menopause, which can change a woman’s sexual blueprint altogether.

Dr. Tina Koopersmith, MD, is a board-certified OBGYN and Reproductive Endocrinologist (REI) as well as a board-certified practitioner of Integrative Medicine. Tina is also a coach, best-selling author, speaker, athlete, always a mom and perpetual student. She is dedicated to modifying our health care system from one focused on illness and sickness to one devoted to prevention and wellness. For 30 years as a fertility specialist, she focused on bringing life to her patients and now she wants to bring humans back to life. She starts with the premise we all have the same parts and very similar DNA, and yet we all have different experiences and imprinting. Our unique signature means we are all wired to access safety and pleasure in a slightly different fashion. Diversity is to be praised and celebrated. When we are able to find safety and pleasure, we can move from our “childhood” survival stress mode to our Wise sage self. In this state, healing and recovery and regeneration thrive and we get to celebrate all of life with acceptance of the NOW. In this state, there is empathy, compassion and innovation and connection. Health requires us to nourish and integrate all 4 of our bodies: the mind body, the heart body, the physical body and the energetic body because we are ALL worthy of self-care, self-acceptance and self-love.
