In this thought-provoking episode I interview NVC trainer, Mary Goyer, about one of the most challenging topics for couples to talk about openly: sex. Why is it so hard to discuss sex openly, compassionately, and connectedly, and how can Nonviolent Communication help us through this so we can have the amazing sex lives we long for?

Exploring various barriers to communication, Mary addresses societal conditioning, individual traumas, and limiting beliefs surrounding sexuality. From systemic challenges to personal experiences of trauma, we examine how these factors contribute to the difficulty of expressing one's desires and needs in intimate relationships.

Throughout the episode, Mary shares practical strategies based in Nonviolent Communication to support us all in having more satisfying sex lives. We cover a wide range of topics, including how to address judgments, how to negotiate differences in preferences, and how consent can be hot.

Worried that talking about sex will kill the vibe? Don't worry! We address that head on, and show you how it can actually have the opposite effect.

Join us as we challenge societal norms, break down communication barriers, and empower couples to embrace open, honest, connecting conversations about sex and intimacy. Whether you're new to NVC or a seasoned practitioner, this episode offers valuable guidance for enhancing connection and satisfaction in your sex life.
