So many of us are craving deeper intimacy, but no one ever taught us how to actually talk about sex, desire, or what turns us on. 

In this episode, I’m joined by Dr. Diane Mueller for a conversation about what it takes to keep passion alive in long-term relationships.

We get into the truth about libido (hint: it’s not just hormones), the impact of the nervous system on arousal, and how communication can completely shift the way we connect with our partners. We also talk about hot monogamy, self-pleasure as a tool for empowerment, and the kind of emotional safety that makes real pleasure possible.

If you’ve ever felt like your sex drive disappeared, or you're craving more depth, connection, or fire in your relationship, this one’s for you.
