857. From Burnout to Desire: Reclaiming Your Body + Sex Life
Almost 30
Open relationships, threesomes, and communication needs
Laura argues most couples lack communication and maturity required for ethical nonmonogamy and sexual exploration.
In this episode, Krista sits down with world-renowned relationship therapist, media personality, award winning radio host, and New York Times bestselling author Laura Berman to unpack what’s really happening in modern love, intimacy, and sexuality.
From the impact of dopamine-driven culture + porn to the hidden reason so many women feel burnt out + disconnected from their bodies, this episode is a powerful reset on what it actually takes to feel safe, turned on, and deeply connected in a relationship.
They also explore the difference between authentic sexual expression + dopamine-seeking behavior, how to rebuild trust + connection in a relationship, and what it really means to practice “sex magic” in a grounded, accessible way.
We also talk about:
- The truth about open relationships, threesomes, and sexual exploration
- The importance of taking 100% responsibility in relationships
- How your partner mirrors your wounds—and your growth
- Why “butterflies” can be a red flag in dating
- What healthy attraction + chemistry actually feel like
- What “sex magic” is + how it can deepen connection
- Why who you sleep with matters energetically
- How to rebuild desire in long-term relationships
