What is good sex and how do you know if you're having it?

Is sex required to have a healthy, successful relationship?

Are there other forms of intimacy?

This is a juicy one today folks and you won't want to miss it! I'm welcoming Michelle Vogel, a fellow marriage and family therapist, on the show today to talk ALL things sex.

If you're wondering if you need sex to be happy, listen up!

If you're curious about polyamorous relationships, tune in!

Are you feeling unfulfilled sexually in your monogamous or open relationship, then come join the conversation!

Michelle has so much expertise to help YOU get your groove back, so let's get into it!

We're diving into:

• Consent culture & sex positivity: Where have they helped and where do they fall short?
• How to begin to access vulnerability & why it's important
• What to ask yourself before exploring new sexual avenues
• Polyamory & ethical non-monogamy: Do we really know what those are?
• How to engage in sexual media with a critical eye & what tools can be useful
• Why consent doesn't mean the sex will be good
• And so much more with Michelle!

If you're in this type of relationship (or you just want to be!), listen up!

I'm going over 5 questions to ask yourself so you can honor your background as well as your partner's.

• How you can blend the cultures you each bring & start new traditions together
• Why finding core values within the diversity is crucial
• My background & how it's informed my work as a therapist supporting blended families
• If diversity allows for more assumptions or less
• Why we all need to broaden how we define culture

Are you taking steps to deal with it or release it? Or has it taken over?

In today's episode I'm getting into why we feel stress and anxiety, what's happening in our body when we do, and what we can do about it moving forward. And you're not alone, I feel it too.

But we don't have to live in a constant state of stress or panic. I repeat - You DON'T have to live in a constant state of stress or panic.

Stress has its purpose in our life at times and I won't even say anxiety is bad, but it shouldn't be with you all day, everyday. So, join me for today's episode and let's learn what stress and anxiety can teach us about ourselves. Let's learn how to be present, find safety within, and start living with less stress, less anxiety, and a lot more joy & pleasure!

I'm diving into:

• Fight, flight, freeze, fawn: What they are & how they show up
• The difference between stress & anxiety
• Why rest, breath, & grounding exercises can help (Plus easy ways to ground yourself!)
• My experience with anxiety & hypervigilance
• What anxiety is telling you & what happens when you ignore the message
• When anxiety shows up as drive & the need to achieve (But when is it enough?)
• My advice with anxiety medication
• How to find your peace, your balance, & your limits
• And much more!
