  • Today's guests are four fantastic women ranging from the age of 24 to 74 that join me in talking about what women think is sexy. Natasha Larcos, Jonine Lee Gabay, Melinda Hird, and Evelyn Lundstrom all have different takes on what is sexy. Some of the factors are internal while others are external. One woman likes loose pants on a man. One woman really likes confidence. Each of us agrees that demanding respect for yourself is the first step to being appreciated in your relationships.

    In this episode, we discuss how relationship red flags change as we age and how to begin to pinpoint what is sexy to you by pinpointing first what is not sexy to you. We also talk about the death of the chase, treating sexy as a mindset, and the art of flirtation.

She volunteers at Ocean Uprise, a non-profit that empowers young people to help combat climate change through ocean conservation. She also co-hosts Officially Unofficial, a comedic dating podcast.

    Evelyn Lundstrom works as an executive presence and personal brand strategist, image coach, and corporate trainer. In her business, she helps in training those who wish to enter the personal brand image industry. She believes that feeling cherished and loved are key parts of feeling confident and sexy.

  • Today's guest is the host of The Curious Girl Diaries podcast, Layla London. I absolutely love her podcast and am thrilled to have her on the show to share her story. Layla has been podcasting for six years, loves business, and loves being an entrepreneur. She got so caught up in furthering her career, however, that one day she woke up in her early 40's and realized she hadn't had sex for over three and a half years. That's when she decided to do something about it — and to document the process.

    While most people think that great sex just happens, Layla and I discuss the layered benefits of treating sex as an event. She shares her contagious excitement for her experiment along with tips for pinpointing what is missing in your sex life and finding sex-positive partners. We also talk about navigating open relationships and getting comfortable with taking up space in the bedroom.

    Listen in to this episode as we tackle ways to navigate traditional gender roles in the bedroom, experimenting with BDSM, and tips for harnessing your sexual energy in all aspects of your life.

  • What does it feel like when you are turned on? I haven't experienced or explored today's topic enough in my own sexual relationships so I'm really excited to speak with certified sex, love, and relationship coach Andrea Balboni about sacred sex.

    We as humans have such difficulty being seen and being vulnerable, so in this episode, Andrea and I discuss the value of connecting and reconnecting with a partner and some things we can do to facilitate such an experience. She shares how long it took her to master the skill of sacred sex, how long she practiced during each session, and how regularly she practiced.

  • Today's episode connected so many dots for me. Through her unbelievably challenging life experiences, Marci Warhaft has managed to reclaim herself and her life in the most unexpected ways.

    From a young age, Marci related her self-worth to her body image and she developed disordered eating habits that wreaked havoc on her physical and mental health. Once she came to relate her eating habits to her self-worth, she began to reassess the root causes of her unhappiness. I love that she regularly asks herself: is it enough for me? Now she is a body image advocate. In this episode, Marci and I discuss when we should reassess the important relationships in our lives and how she broke out of the cycle of self-loathing. We also talk about ways to cultivate self-confidence and rediscover your self-worth.

    Listen in as Marci and I examine when to stay and when to go, the root cause of the fear of being alone, and how to cope with that fear.

  • It is an incredible honor that, in today's episode, I get to interview one of my heroes. Dr. James Pennebaker has been a part of my life without knowing it for many years now, as his work has influenced my life as well as the work that we do at the fertility clinic.

    Dr. Pennebaker trained as a social psychologist with an interest in social behavior and groups. He has authored 12 books and over 300 scientific articles and, most notably, has pioneered research in the field of expressive writing as a coping method for dealing with the trauma of unspoken events. His more recent work has been on equally fascinating topics from machine learning to natural languaging.

    In this episode, he and I talk about everything you need to know about how to apply the incredibly transformative tool of expressive writing to your own life. I love that he advises that we should all be our own scientists and figure out what works best for us. We also talk about the many ways that traumatic sexual experiences affect future health and how Dr. Pennebaker utilises his own research.

    Listen in to learn how much time should pass between the trauma and the writing about the trauma so that the exercise is helpful rather than hurtful and what Dr. Pennebaker means when he says the population has gotten stupider during the COVID-19 pandemic.
