Why YOU Don’t Want Sex With Your Husband Anymore

Listen Now

Let’s talk about why you don’t want sex with your husband anymore… and why the answer probably has nothing to do with your libido. If you’ve been lying next to him quietly hoping he doesn’t reach for you, and then hating yourself for feeling that way, this episode is going to change the way you see what’s actually happening in your body and your relationship. Because the story most women tell themselves at this moment is the wrong one entirely. I’m walking you through a four part desire check in that will help you stop asking the question that keeps you stuck and start asking the one that can actually lead you somewhere.

If desire has gone quiet in your marriage, this one is for you.
