In our latest episode we’re diving into a conversation around our intimate relationships and their impact on our overall health.

Listen in as Dr. Emma Schmidt of Emma Schmidt and Assoc. talks with us about how sex and intimacy play a big part in our lives and have a huge effect on ourselves and our relationships. Stats show that 30-40% of men and women struggle with some sort of sexual challenge. And when sex isn’t working well... it can affect up to 80% of our relationships negatively across the board (sexual frustration is real y'all.)

Dr.Schmidt founded the practice in 2011 after she experienced that the sex therapy field was significantly under-served in our area. She has dedicated her career to the ideal that sex and relationship therapy should be more accessible, locally, nationally and globally. In this episode she shares some of her experiences and advice around these topics and more:

• *The difference between sex + intimacy

• *Reasons to seek therapy support (You might be more normal than you think! ;-)

• *6 Principles of Sexual Health

• *Talking to our kids about sex

• *Sex and intimacy at any age (hint…it’s Ageless!!)
