In this solo episode, I address the issue of mismatched libidos in relationships, focusing on the dynamics between higher and lower desire partners. After a series of guest episodes, I'm back to discuss the common emotional patterns involved, such as pressure and guilt. I provide strategies for both partners to improve communication, manage expectations, and cultivate authentic desire. I also encourage listeners to share their feedback and questions via email. Practical tips and additional resources, like previous episodes on consent and libido, are highlighted. Lastly, I announce a new 'quickie' coaching offer to help couples get unstuck and improve their sex lives.
