Episode #49: Am I Normal? What Is Sexual Intimacy?

Taking the mystery out of women’s hormonal issues, struggles and the many things that dance in between.

Today’s Guest: Sierra Coleman

I wanted to start 2024 on THLZ by exploring sexual intimacy, communication, connection, and re-connection. The title of today's episode is "Am I normal? What is Sexual Intimacy?"

Many consider the beginning of a New Year as a reboot to set new goals or establish new lifestyle habits. Many start with a dry January that opens new doors to self-care and exploration. I believe 2024 holds opportunity for a deeper connection with ourselves and our significant other. Authentic communication makes the world go round, inside and outside the bedroom. And, after a three-year period that I refer to as "The Post-Covid Drag," it's time for a new kind of revolution that celebrates "Sexual Intimacy" with a fresh and positive perspective.

As many as 40 million Americans in romantic relationships aren't having sex.

Today's lovely guest is Sierra Coleman, a marriage and family therapist and certified sexologist. She specializes in working with couples and individuals, especially women, around sexual issues and challenges.

During today's episode, Sierra and I will explore why women struggle with low libido, lack of desire to have sex, and why it may even feel like a chore.

We will also explore: What's going on inside and outside the bedroom? What defines the parameters of sexual intimacy? What factors impact a woman's libido? Why masturbation is good medicine. AND– why you can benefit from listening to today’s conversation!

I deeply appreciate Sierra’s perspective and insights. They’re super helpful, powerful, and positive.

Sweet Lovelies– 2024 may be the year that you roll back your sleeves and take a deep dive into exploring what turns you on from the inside and out and a little sideways. Welcome to The Hormone Lifestyle Zone.
