Have you ever felt like sex is a chore while on the fertility journey? Or like you are so stressed about when to have sex and when to abstain, that any notion of an enjoyable and life-giving sex life is gone? 

If so, listen to today's episode with Dr. Sadaf Lodhi, a board certified OBGYN who focuses on sexual health and intimacy in her concierge gynecology practice. 

In this mind-blowing episode, we discuss:

• newer models of sexual response and responsive desire
• navigating sex as work and reframing this concept
• increasing emotional intimacy, which leads to increased physical intimacy 
• the power of mindfulness and sensate focus to improve the experience of intimacy
• midlife issues such as body image and perimenopause 

Warning: this episode does bring up the topic of sexual trauma and healing from trauma

From Dr Sadaf Lodhi: As a practicing OBGYN in New York for over 20 years, my mission has always been to empower and educate women. I am the founder and CEO of Femme Vie Health, a concierge gynecology practice serving patients in New York, and I have a telehealth practice for those in Michigan. While I assist patients in all aspects of female health, I focus on sexual and menopausal health as well as intimacy coaching. I believe that all women, regardless of their backgrounds, have the potential to live life to its fullest.
