In this powerful episode, I sit down with Dr. Andrea Eriks—licensed therapist and author of the new book She Wants: A Married Woman’s Guide to Reclaiming Her Sexual Intimacy. We talk about the deep emotional and relational impact of purity culture, the myth of “obligation sex,” and how women can begin to reconnect with their desire without shame or guilt.

Dr. Eriks brings warmth, honesty, and clarity to a conversation many of us have been longing to have. Whether you're deconstructing old beliefs or simply ready to feel more connected in your marriage, this episode is for you.

My friend, Sexologist Goody Howard, not only is an AMAZING Sexologist, but she is launching her own brand of LUBRICANT! After I had a video blow up on my socials, with people condemning the very idea of using lube, I KNEW I had to have her on to talk about lube, existing in a fat body, and our ADHD squirrels having their own raves! (I promise we'll let you in on the joke!)

We talked about so much in this episode, but most of all, y'all need to get the lube from Goody on her website!

One of the questions I am asked most often as a sex & intimacy coach is: "How far can I go with the person I'm dating before it becomes sin?"

Baby, that is the WRONG question, and I brought in Sonata Allison, LMFT, to help explain why this week! We covered a lot of topics single Christians are dealing with - but even if you are married - there's still a few things to learn from this episode!

Here are some of the things we mentioned in the podcast!

I am often asked how women can enjoy sex with their husbands when they are so uncomfortable with their bodies. So I knew I had to bring in Janioris Diaz Rodriguez, boudoir photographer, body & bedroom confidence coach to talk about it!

Do you feel more intimate with your spouse after a conflict? If you are doing it right, you SHOULD! I'm chatting with Nicole Lee, license marriage and family therapist, licensed professional counselor, and certified sex therapy-informed professional today about Conflict Intimacy! But really, y'all know how we roll here. There was a lot of fun, and a lot of ADHD!

Her Journal:
1+1=3, You, Me, & Our Relationship

She is licensed in PA, so if you need someone to teach you to conflict well, and you are in PA, hit her up!

In the chat, she mentions the work of the Gottmans. If you haven't read The Seven Principles of Making Marriage Work, I highly recommend it!

I want to add my own note here. In Evangelical circles conflict is sometimes extra spicy because of theological issues. If you think one of you needs to have the final vote in conflicts and disagreements, and that is causing stress in the marriage, I encourage you to check out the new book, The Marriage You Want, as it addresses those issues!
