This was so exciting to be able to collaborate with Mormon Stories in interviewing the one and only  Emily Nagoski regarding her new book Come Together - talking about long term relationships and sexuality. Such a relevant topic for everyone! and especially relevant for couples who are deconstructing high demand religion... and renegotiating their sex lives... with so many potential myths and stories that are not helpful nor accurate.
