Get ready for a lively and enlightening conversation with Angela Skurtu, a couples counselor and sex therapist who’s on a mission to help people build healthier, happier relationships! Angela shares her fascinating journey into sex therapy, fueled by her own experiences with religious trauma and cultural messaging around sexuality.

We dive into everything from the complexities of addiction and coping mechanisms to how trauma can reshape intimacy and connection. Angela’s approach is refreshingly upbeat and practical, aiming to normalize conversations about sex and empower people to embrace their sexuality without shame.

But it's not just about healing the past—Angela brings the fun back into intimacy! We chat about how endearment, creativity, and shared effort (yes, even doing the dishes!) can supercharge your relationship. Angela also dishes on navigating life’s transitions—whether it's raising kids, tackling retirement, or balancing business and happiness.

Plus, we explore how men and women face unique societal pressures and why self-compassion and emotional expression are essential tools for thriving, not just surviving.

This episode is packed with insights, laughter, and plenty of real talk about love, sex, and everything in between. Tune in and learn how to break old patterns, spark connection, and find joy in your relationships!

In this wide-ranging conversation, hosts and guests unpack the many layers of Gone with the Wind—from its sweeping romance and cinematic innovation to its complicated legacy.
