Why do some couples stop having sex? Is it possible to sustain a strong sexual connection over the long-term? And how can you experience more pleasure when life feels stressful and overwhelming? They’re tough questions, but today’s podcast guest, Emily Nagoski, has the answers.

Emily Nagoski is a sex educator and the author of the best-selling Come as You Are: The Surprising New Science that Will Transform Your Sex Life (which is one of the best book titles ever, right?!). She has a PhD in Health Behavior with a minor in Human Sexuality, is the inaugural Director of Wellness Education at Smith College, and her mission in life is to teach women to live with confidence and joy inside their bodies.

This conversation is filled with cutting edge research, proven strategies, and plenty of lightbulb moments. Emily offers so much wisdom, but perhaps her greatest gift is giving us language to articulate deeply personal experiences that so many of us have experienced, yet that can often make us feel broken and alone. (Spoiler alert: you are NEITHER of those things!)

So if you want to create a better sex life for yourself, experience more profound pleasure than you ever thought possible, and feel true fulfilment within yourself, within your relationship and in the bedroom, then pop in those earbuds… this episode is for you.

In this episode we chat about: 

  • Her story from teaching sex education to where she is today (06:09)
