216/ When Pain Numbs Pleasure: How Burnout, the Nervous System, and the Brain Affect Intimacy [with Honey Hull, NP]

Hi Nurse friend,

What happens when chronic pain, burnout, and nervous system dysregulation start stealing your ability to feel — not just physically, but emotionally and intimately?

In this powerful episode, I sit down with Honey Hull, NP, a pain and sex coach who understands firsthand what it’s like to live in a body shaped by stress, trauma, and exhaustion. Honey shares her personal story of burnout and chronic pain, and how it led her to explore the deep connection between the brain, body, and nervous system.

Honey Hull is a Nurse Practitioner, Nurse Coach, and the founder of Small Steps Equals Big Changes. She has a unique and vital specialty: helping people with chronic pain have better sex.

After experiencing her own burnout working in high-volume pain clinics, Honey realized that pills and procedures weren't enough to heal the whole person. She now uses a holistic approach to help clients gently retrain their pain pathways, turning down the body's 'false alarm' signals. Honey is dedicated to helping you move past fear so you can rediscover safety, connection, and pleasure in your body.

In this episode, Honey offers practical, compassionate tools to restore body trust, improve sexual intimacy, and elevate overall quality of life — especially for nurses and healthcare professionals living under chronic stress.

Shalom Shalom, 

Xx, Shan
