What happens when partners experience mismatched desire—or when sex starts to feel like just another item on the to-do list? In this insightful episode, I’m joined by Dr. Maureen Ryan, a sexual health counselor, nurse practitioner, and nationally certified health coach, to unpack some common yet often unspoken issues in relationships.  

We explore how couples can navigate different levels of sexual interest, the importance of prioritizing intimacy in busy lives, and how mindfulness and being truly present can enhance sexual function and connection. Dr. Ryan offers practical strategies, thoughtful perspective, and a compassionate voice that helps normalize the ebbs and flows of desire.

Whether you're in a long-term relationship or on a personal journey toward better sexual wellness, this conversation will leave you with tools to reconnect—with yourself and your partner.
