Speaking Smashinese

Walk and talk with host, Coach Sumo, and become more fluent in the language of Smashinese™... or the art of lovemaking. Today's show explores cuddling and how it is a life-or-death concept to some people.

Walk with Coach Sumo for 51 minutes while talking about relationships, finances, and family life. In this episode we talk about rigid expectations and the negative effect they can have on relationships.

Many of us often unconsciously erect walls to protect ourselves from potential hurt. In this episode I will discuss the evolutionary roots of this fear. I'll cover things like survival instincts and past traumas. I will highlight how these walls manifest as defensiveness, withholding emotions, and avoiding deep connection with our partners. When finished, I hope you will understand that vulnerability isn’t weakness; it's the foundation of intimacy. Please remember that I am literally recording while I'm exercising so the audio and my cadence will be imperfect. I hope I can become your walking buddy!
