333. Getting Better At Sex - Part One

Hey friends—today I’m diving deep into the world of intimacy, libido, and sexual health with none other than Susan Bratton. If you don’t know Susan yet, get ready—she’s a powerhouse in the space of sex education and intimacy coaching. We’re talking practical, unapologetic advice for creating more connected, pleasure-filled relationships—especially in midlife.

We covered a lot:
🔥 Why so many women feel disconnected from desire—and what to do about it
🧠 The science behind libido, arousal, and how midlife hormones impact it all
💬 Communication tools to talk to your partner about what you really want
🛏️ Techniques for deeper pleasure and emotional connection
💡 Susan’s take on sexual regenerative therapies (yes, we went there)

This episode is about reclaiming your sex life—without shame, and with actual useful information. Whether you’re in a long-term relationship or figuring things out solo, Susan drops gems that will absolutely shift your mindset around intimacy.

As always, we go there—with science, humor, and zero judgment.

Let me know what you think and don’t forget to share this one with a friend who needs a reminder that they’re not broken—especially in the bedroom.
