Feeling disconnected from your partner? Wondering why your desire feels muted, or why intimacy suddenly feels like one more thing on your never-ending list? In this episode of Empowered and Unapologetic, I sit down with somatic sex therapist Susan Morgan Taylor, MA, to unpack the real reasons women lose desire…and why your sex drive isn't actually the problem. We talk about the nervous system, feminine energy, pleasure pathways, libido "mismatches," and how to reconnect with yourself so intimacy stops feeling like pressure and starts feeling like possibility again. If you've ever worried that something was "wrong" with you, this episode will give you clarity, compassion, and a new way to understand desire. 👉 Read the full blog and episode breakdown: <a class="decorated-link" href= "https://veronicacisneros.org/episode301/" target="_new" rel= "noopener" data-start="863" data-end= "903">https://veronicacisneros.org/episode301/</a> 👉 Join our Marriage Reset Webinar Series: <a class="decorated-link" href= "https://outsidethenormcounseling.com/marriage-reset/" target= "_new" rel="noopener" data-start="953" data-end= "1005">https://outsidethenormcounseling.com/marriage-reset/</a> This conversation is your reminder that you're not broken ... you're just ready to reconnect.

Reigniting Intimacy: Why Your Sex Drive Isn't the Problem (And What Actually Is) | EU 301

You're exhausted.
Not just physically. Emotionally. You're running a household, keeping up with your career, holding the family calendar together, and still somehow managing the grocery list. You're the default parent, the peacekeeper, the one who never stops, even when you should be resting. And somewhere in between the laundry and the late-night emails, you've lost the version of yourself that wasn't running on fumes.

I'm Veronica Cisneros, Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist, wife, and mom of three. I know what it's like to feel disconnected from your spouse, stuck in silent power struggles over household chores, and torn between excelling in your career and actually enjoying your family. I've been the people-pleaser, the overachiever, the one trying to "hold it all together" while anxiety worked overtime behind the scenes.

On Empowered and Unapologetic, we're ditching the guilt and having the conversations no one's having at the PTA meeting. Here, you'll get real talk and therapist-backed strategies on:

• Navigating marriage when it feels more like a business partnership than a relationship.
• Breaking the cycle of over-functioning and learning to rest without guilt.
• Sharing the mental and physical load at home—without another chore chart that no one uses.
• Shutting down power-pleasing patterns that leave you drained and resentful.
• Managing the anxiety that comes from constantly being "on."

If you're tired of looking like you have it all together while feeling like you're falling apart, you're in the right place. This is your space to breathe, laugh, and rebuild connection, without having to compromise yourself in the process.

Let's do this together.
