What happens in the office of a sex therapist? Mar 27, 2018

Show notes

What does it mean about our relationship if we need therapy? What if the therapist tells us our issues are unfixable? Shouldn't we be able to fix this ourselves? What if we start going and our therapist just wants us to come back over and over again for years? How do we know when we don't need therapy anymore? Are they just going to make me talk about my feelings? How do we even figure out whether or not our struggles are worthy of a therapist?

Show notes

Here are the questions we tackle today: "I feel like every since I have had my children my sex drive has gone out the window!

Lube... this conversation will blow your mind Feb 22, 2018

Show notes

When Kristin first approached me about doing an episode on lube, I was like, "Uh... won't that just be like a 30-second episode? Lube reduces friction. Done." "Nate, there's so much more to than that!" Boy, was she right! Lube in the United States is not regulated by the FDA. That means companies can put all sorts of stuff in their products that could do damage to your body. Many lubrications include chemicals that cause allergic reactions, that leave you with a rash, itchiness, sensitivity, overly-dry skin, or tingling, make you susceptible to cancer, eat away at the lining of your genitals, and worse... Learn why lube should be a staple in your sexual health toolbox, and visit the show notes for a list of the best lubricants you can get!

"What's your goal?" with Ashley and Nathan Logsdon Feb 14, 2018

Show notes

It's rare to meet a couple who lives as intentionally as Ashley and Nathan Logsdon. They're crystal clear about what's important to them, how they want to feel in their life and in their relationship, and what they need to do to create those feelings. Their life is extraordinary in large part because they've walked away from what the world thinks they SHOULD want and have chosen to pursue something entirely different... what they ACTUALLY want. In this episode, we talk about how Nathan and Ashley walked away from the American Dream to live a minimalist lifestyle traveling the country in an RV with their 3 daughters and dog. They also teach us a lot about communication, identifying our core values, and learning to live by those values. Check out more about their journey at 90dayfamilyroadtrip.com

What to do when your partner suffers from depression with Kim and Seth Adam Smith Jan 15, 2017

Show notes

Depression and mental health is something we are all affected by. We know so little about it, and there isn't a lot of help or resources that have proven to be effective across the board. The help, support, and resources that do exist are typically for the person suffering from mental illness, and not for the partner, which can leave the partner who isn't battling the illness feeling just as alone and helpless as the person who is. In this episode Seth and Kim give us a look into how they have navigated depression and mental health in their relationship. They'll tell you what works for them, and what doesn't. I hope you share this episode with someone who needs to hear it. Thanks for listening!
