Entwine Dating: A New Hope for Cancer Survivors
So many women who I have met in FB breast cancer support groups were struggling
Imagine battling cancer and then facing the daunting world of dating with intimacy issues. In this episode of Behavioral Health Integration, host Jacob Minnig sits down with Anna Leonarda, a breast cancer survivor who turned her personal struggles into a revolutionary dating app called Entwine Dating. Anna's journey through multiple surgeries and conditions like vaginismus left her wondering if she could ever find love again.
But instead of giving up, she created a platform where others facing similar challenges could connect without the pressure of sexual expectations. Through heartfelt conversations, Anna sheds light on the common struggles many cancer survivors face in their romantic lives. She discovered that many women in breast cancer support groups shared her concerns about painful intercourse and lack of libido, leading them to avoid dating altogether.
Realizing the need for a supportive environment, Anna designed Entwine Dating to break down these barriers and offer a safe space for genuine connections. The discussion also tackles the stigma surrounding men's sexual health issues, such as erectile dysfunction, and how societal expectations of masculinity often prevent men from seeking help. Anna hopes her app can foster a more understanding and supportive atmosphere for everyone, regardless of their intimate challenges.
Tune in to hear Anna's inspiring story and learn how Entwine Dating is changing the game for cancer survivors looking for love and companionship.
