Episode 259: How To Change Your Relationship



A lot of people want to bring change into their love life, but they feel stuck. They’re ready and eager for change, but they don’t know how to do it or how to get their partner on board. In today’s episode, we’re going to discuss practical tips for changing your relationship. We’re also going to talk about how to drop the societal imperatives that tell us what we should be doing and, instead, learn how to chart your own course.

I am joined once again by award-winning author Emily Nagoski. She wrote the New York Times bestselling books Come As You Are and The Come As You Are Workbook. Her latest book is titled Come Together: The Science (and Art!) of Creating Lasting Sexual Connections.

Some of the topics we explore in this episode include:

  • If you’re ready for a change but your partner isn’t, how do you navigate that?
  • How can partners work together to create and maintain a sexual connection that lasts?
  • What are some new ways of exploring erotic pleasures with a partner?
  • What is the “magic trick” for accessing ecstasy, and how can we apply it to our sex lives?
  • Make sure to check out Emily’s website to find out more.
