  • So healing

    It was a joy and a privilege to be interviewed on Jessa’s podcast about our pregnancy loss. That she recognizes that better sex includes such a wide range of human experiences made it an easy pick for me when I was searching for who could amplify our story. Thank you Jessa for showcasing real issues to help real people find the path to connection, in the bedroom and in all areas of relating.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Ep. 401: Signs You May Be Headed For Divorce
Q: What practical steps can individuals take after deciding to divorce to protect their emotional well-being?
Engage in self-reflection to understand personal needs, pursue a personal bucket list, cultivate new hobbies, and avoid rushing into a new relationship until you've rebuilt a clear sense of self.
Ep. 401: Signs You May Be Headed For Divorce
Q: What early signs should couples watch for to intervene before it's too late?
Disengagement, persistent resentment, and choosing fights over small issues are red flags; when talking becomes about logistics rather than connection, or one partner withdraws emotionally, it's a cue to seek couples therapy and reassess the relationship.
Ep. 401: Signs You May Be Headed For Divorce
Q: Why do you think intimacy often erodes over time and leads to divorce?
Lack of ongoing emotional connection, unequal parenting labor, and a drift toward separate lives are key factors; couples may lose shared meaning and rely on routine rather than warmth, which compounds over time unless addressed with intentional communication and support.
Ep. 396: Using NLP to Improve Intimacy
Q: What is a well-formed outcome in NLP and how does it apply to intimacy goals?
A well-formed outcome in NLP includes being specific, positive, in your control, contextual, measurable, and ecological. Applying this to intimacy means clearly defining what you want in concrete terms, ensuring it's feasible within the relationship context, and establishing how you'll know you've achieved it.
Ep. 396: Using NLP to Improve Intimacy
Q: How can someone apply NLP right away in a relationship without formal training?
There are practical, quick takeaways such as focusing on what you can control, framing goals as positive, specific, and contextual, meeting your partner where they are, and treating disagreements as experiments to learn from rather than battles to win.
