In Episode 93 of The Partnership Podcast, Lauren and Trey explore powerful topics inspired by a recent post from The Holistic Psychologist. They dive into the parentified son's resentment of household responsibilities, codependency, and how childhood strategies may no longer serve us in adulthood.
Lauren shares a vacation story of choosing embodied joy by dancing solo when Trey needed time to himself—a breakthrough moment a year in the making. They discuss empathy, the danger of "desire smuggling," and how hearing wants can strengthen intimacy.
At 26:50, the conversation shifts to listener "L's" question about sex positions like reverse cowgirl. They discuss the pros, cons, and myths of novelty positions, plus the anatomical realities of clitoral stimulation. Lauren and Trey break down the joy of giving and receiving in sexual encounters, the importance of movement freedom, and how comfort can lead to deeper pleasure.
Join them for an honest, relatable, and playful discussion about relationships, sex, and personal growth.

What Does It Really Mean to Love Someone? Reclaiming a Vacation Gone Wrong & Building Resiliency | Partnership Podcast Ep. 90
If you would like to work with someone to craft your ideal partnered vacation, go to: https://www.sexedforyou.com/freeconsult
In Episode 90 of The Partnership Podcast, Lauren and Trey dive deep into reclaiming their "Vacation Gone Wrong" from last year. Kicking off with a powerful quote from Lauren's professor and colleague, Dené Logan, “We have been conditioned to believe that love means 'I keep people comfortable at all costs.' That is not love. That is attachment. A lot of times, what we are calling love is not actually loving people! It’s just us attempting to maintain attachments at all costs.” — they reflect on the difference between true love and the need to maintain comfort at all costs. Trey shares how he was stuck in this mindset before their anniversary trip last year, and they open up about how they plan to honor the places where pain occurred.
As they prepare to revisit the same vacation spot, Lauren reveals her practice of rest and their mutual intention to make this vacation their best yet—with a focus on play, pleasure, and resiliency check-ins. Lauren also shares her free worksheet at 16:25 to help listeners take responsibility for their feelings on vacation, while Trey reflects on how last year’s disaster led them to prioritize communication and comfort.
Don't miss the funny, heartfelt, and vulnerable moments, like when Trey talks about the vacation's tragic moments (minute 18:40) and their negotiation of vacation mornings for solo journaling and intimate time (minute 35:16). Get inspired with their tips to make this year’s vacation 10% cozier and check out the exclusive discounts mentioned throughout!
