EXPLORING THE NAKED TRUTH ABOUT SEXUALITY

Welcome to the LaidOPEN Podcast hosted by Charna Cassell. Charna is a Trauma-Trained Psychotherapist and Sexuality Coach with over 20 years of experience. Every day, Charna helps clients heal from trauma and access more bodily joy, emotional regulation, vitality, and hope.

Now she’s bringing her expertise to podcasting with interviews from post-trauma thrivers who share creative resources to support living an authentic,  passionate, mindful existence. 

Together they explore how to have a more pleasure-filled, peaceful life while reducing self-sabotaging behaviors and gaining control over reactive behaviors. Charna’s mission is to help people like you understand the impact of trauma on their nervous system and therefore their relationships with an emphasis on ways to heal.

In every episode, Charna explores how to build our physical and emotional capacity to be with all that moves through us and around us to ultimately feel more liberated on the other side. Join our community as we embark on this transformative journey by reaccessing our connection to aliveness.

Medical Misogyny

Ep. 104 Medical Misogyny and the Medical Me Too Reckoning with Micah Larsen

In this powerful episode of LaidOPEN Podcast, I sit down with medical researcher, writer, and host of Modern Hysteria, Micah Larsen, to dive deep into her deeply personal and courageous journey through PMDD, menopause, and preeclampsia. With warmth and unflinching honesty, Micah illuminates the painful gaps in our healthcare system and the persistence of medical misogyny—and, more importantly, how we can begin to dismantle those barriers.

LOVE FROM OUR LISTENERS

There’s so much to be learned about healing and the fine art of somatics. Charna curates such an interesting list of guests and each week I learn something that I didn’t know I needed. Listening to this podcast has helped me to radically transform my life.

Listening to this podcast is such an enjoyable and inspiring way to learn about our sexuality and vitality! The tone manages to be both light and deep at the same time. Charna’s grounded openness is such an invitation into healing.
Pearl Guidi
I appreciate how Charna shares her own experiences as well as sharing some of her educational materials around the subjects at hand. Each person she talks with in her podcast shares their own experiences and knowledge. This, for me, positively aides to self sexual growth. I believe Charna’s podcast can and will help others that have experienced related traumas and will show others that they aren’t “alone, messed up, damaged”, or any of those mindsets one may be have due to their negative experiences.

I look forward to hearing more!

Charna and her guests are willing to go where no one else dares trod, and have conversations that are unafraid and super resonant. Will open your heart and your mind with resonance, soulful stories and insight. Must listen!

Sign me up! Admittedly I have only listen to the most recent Offering by Charna but I am intrigued, engaged, and looking forward to hearing more. I intend to start going back through the archives to see what other amazingly juicy and inspiring conversations I will get to experience. I found the hosts unapologetic openness and fierce compassion to bring me too a deeper appreciation for healing our whole selves in a culture that is shaming and quite Puritanical. These are the conversations that create a paradigm shift and a healing revolution. Thank you, Charna! I so look forward to future adventures in authentic dialogue!
