“Having a fantastic relationship is a learnable skill.”

So many of us crave deeper connection, more spark, and a sense of feeling not just content, but truly alive, decades into love and relationships. But what if your desire has dulled, your partnership feels stuck on autopilot, or you’re no longer even sure what you want, let alone how to ask for it? Enter Dr. Alexandra Stockwell, “The Intimacy Doctor”, a physician, relationship coach, author, and podcast host, whose mission is to help women and couples create conscious, erotically vibrant partnerships in midlife and beyond.

Join us for a candid and empowering conversation with Dr. Stockwell on breaking the cycle of compromise, rediscovering your desires, and bringing more pleasure into your life… and your bedroom. We dive into why:

1. Great relationships and intimacy are built through intention and skill, not just chemistry or time
2. Desire alone isn't enough to sustain relationships and the importance of reflecting on how deeply you truly want something
3. Many women discover deeper pleasure and connection later in life
4. Uncompromising intimacy, rather than compromise, is the real secret to a nourishing, fulfilling relationship
5. Everyday interactions shape long-term intimacy just as much as what happens in the bedroom
6. Curiosity and asking open-ended questions can reignite emotional and sexual intimacy with your partner
7. Vulnerably sharing how something made you feel creates more connection than placing blame
