Episode 154: How To Stop Feeling Resentment In Your Relationship May 02, 2024

Show notes

A few weeks ago we asked our community if they felt resentment in their relationship and only 29% said no!

Resentment doesn’t feel good for either partner, and it can lead to things like more stress, less sex, and lots of other serious consequences in your relationship.

We decided it was time to create an episode breaking down what resentment is, where it comes from, and how to overcome it in your relationship.

Episode 153: The Secret Foreplay Technique You Don’t Even Know About Apr 25, 2024

Show notes

Imagine this… you’re crawling into bed at the end of the night, thinking, “Hmmm sex sounds nice.”

We hate to break it to you, but you’re too late! You needed to have been planning for this much earlier in the day. You needed to be using our unique approach to foreplay.

Most of us think of foreplay as the stuff we do for 30 seconds before we move on to intercourse, but it’s so much more than that. Today we’re telling you about the magic of all-day, non-sexual foreplay.
