How illusion is ruining your sex life and attraction (and what to do about it)
My most "meta" episode yet...
If your suffering about your relationship is caused by comparisons to illusions (rose-colored memories of your ex, Disney, Tiktok), then can we flip the dynamic on its head and re-invigorate the relationship by using illusion to our advantage?
Warning: I'm about to ruin attraction for you in this episode.

Overcoming sex anxiety with Shayna Hiller
If you've ever experienced dread around making love due to the "ick," pain, anxiety, shame, or being too tired, this episode is for you! I'm excited to introduce a dear friend and mentor of mine, who is also a trained Tao Tantric Priestess, Integrative Nutrition Coach, and Yoga Teacher. Her name is Shayna Hiller. In this episode, we will discuss the causes of dread around sex, as well as what you can do to start looking forward to sex especially if it's gotten stale in the bedroom. You're not alone; No, you're not broken, and no, you're not necessarily with the wrong partner if you're not feeling turned on by their mere presence!

Reclaiming softness in life and partnership with Jessica Fawn
An underrated skill in the path of overcoming relationship anxiety: reclaiming softness, befriending anxiety, and learning to trust and follow glimmers of joy. This episode was so tender and beautiful it made me weepy. I am very grateful to present to you this episode with Jessica Fawn, yoga and tantra teacher. We spoke about seeing anxiety as a profound messenger for healing, and learning to nurture it— and what that can look like in the context of partnership.
Also, I will be joining her Temple membership, so see you there 🙂

Thoughts on ERP (Exposure & Response Prevention)
Two things are true: 1) I am unqualified to speak on ERP and OCD and 2) I am sharing my thoughts about ERP for those that still want to hear them even though I am unqualified.
What is ERP (Exposure & Response Prevention)? How helpful is it for those with relationship anxiety? What are its strengths and limitations? In this episode, I'll share my thoughts on this treatment.

Customer Reviews
Great advice from the heart
Thank you for such genuine heartfelt advice. I feel like I’m sitting on the couch with my BFF who is also part therapist part coach. 👍🌼
Love the content, vibe, sound
After having relationship anxiety for 5 years now, I feel like I can totally identify with everything she’s saying. I’ve either been there or am currently still struggling. I know she keeps talking about the sound but I actually really like it. It reminds me of Sheryl Paul’s podcast to an extent where you just have to get used to their vibe and then you realize how much it actually matches the heart of the content. Bravo! Keep it up. I’ll be buying your courses soon.
Doing good work
She’s doing great work but there something about the audio that is just not great. It’s like ASMR-y which doesn’t work for me…
