62. HERself Expert: Vanessa Marin, Sex Therapist. All of Your Sex Questions Answered PART 2

Sex therapist Vanessa Marin ( @vanessamarintherapy ) is back on the podcast today. Her first episode (episode 21) was the most listened to episode of 2020...and in this one she brings the SAME goodness.Sex and intimacy are a big part of relationships, but this information can feel underserved for those in long-term relationships. Sometimes as couples, we can let this important piece fall to the wayside as we try to do ALL the things (motherhood, working, keeping up with the house, trying to make sure everyone is fed, etc. etc.).Today, Vanessa helps remind us why sex is important. Not just for your partner- but for YOU. She dives into questions about female sex drive, how to make sure intimacy doesn't just feel like another demand, and how to start to reconnect to this part of your relationship.You can join us for Vanessa's 30 day sex challenge HERE!MEET VANESSALet’s connect!HERself PATREONHERSELF INSTAGRAMMEET AMY MEET ABBY

60. Minimizing Comparison to Maximize Your Life

Comparison is such a trap. In this week's episode we talk about comparison in parenting, possessions, body composition/body image, and relationships.Let's be real: we live in a swipe up world that can leave us always lusting over what we need to buy next. We scroll past diets and workouts galore all promising to shrink our bodies. We hear exactly how we're supposed to respond to tantrums and shame ourselves for how we raised our voices earlier. AND we read captions of couples that are only showing the best side of their relationships.It is no wonder that many of us struggle with comparison. But in today's episode we talk about what we can do to minimize focusing on other people's lives and really sink into living the one that feels the best for you. Hope you enjoy it! Let’s connect!HERself PATREONHERSELF INSTAGRAMMEET AMY MEET ABBYBetterHelp Counselling 10% Discount
