Today, Jennifer is talking to Brooke Christian. Her goal is to make sex something you WANT (not something that you have to do).  It’s about being his girlfriend again. About being irresistible. About starting to get confident by unlocking your sexiest self.

We’re covering:

• How moms can balance being in the office, the playground, AND the bedroom
• Why boudoir shoots can be one of the best things you do after having kids
• Being vulnerable is one of the best things we can do for our relationships (and each other)
• Getting emotionally vulnerable with your partner (and breaking out the lingerie)
• The sexiest woman in the room is the one with the most confidence
• If you’re not having an orgasm, sex is not worth it
• Embracing sex toys...and getting him on board

Key Takeaways:

“There is a mean old bitch that lives in our heads and I hate her so much. She screws us up. He thinks you’re gorgeous and we’re the ones who talk about our back fat. He doesn’t care!”

“The biggest aphrodisiac is anticipation.”

The Divorce Resource Guy

In this episode, Jennifer and Jason Levoy discuss:

• Who is the divorce resource guy?
• How do you create a happy divorce?
• What do you need to navigate divorce?
• What are the stages of divorce?

Key Takeaways:

• As a divorce attorney,  Jason's mission is to educate, empower and help you understand your divorce and family law issues so you are prepared to competently represent yourself in court or in negotiations with your spouse if you can’t afford an attorney. 

• If you don’t have that type of money to hire an attorney, you should be able to have the resources to understand the process and what you need to do to represent yourself.

• Jason can’t give you specific legal advice because he doesn't know all the facts of your case, but he does give you the tools and knowledge you need to craft and communicate your message persuasively.

"Divorce is confusing because you don't work with it every day like I do." — Jason Levoy

About Jason: I am an attorney who practiced exclusively in divorce law for years and then quit to focus on divorce coaching. I strive to help people reduce the overwhelm they feel and teach them what they need to know to get through their divorce with confidence and integrity.
