If you're single and looking for love, this episode is for you. And coupled up folks, you might learn something too!

Jennifer Hurvitz is a dating coach and the host of the podcast Doing Relationships Right.

In this episode, Jennifer shares how to know when you're ready to date after divorce. She also talks about why you should only date one person at a time (who the hell can hande more than that?!). And if you''re online dating, Jen has great advice for making your profile and bio really stand out above the rest.

Listen my friend... never ever did I ever think I'd be dating again. I thought I'd be married until the day I dropped dead. So I'm out in the wild too and I know it's scary to give your heart to someone. But we deserve big mad love. Let's go find it.

Is it difficult to have honest and vulnerable conversations with your partner about sex? Sex therapist Dr. Laurie Watson wants to normalize talking about it.

In this episode, Dr. Laurie shares ways you can open up to your person about what it is that you want in the bedroom. She also talks about how "getting in the mood" starts with your mind.

We discuss sexy thoughts, dirty talk, the clittoris and other things. This is NOT something children should hear. And if you blush easily, ths is your warning.

I honestly believe if I had found Dr. Laurie sooner, my marriage woudn't have fallen apart. Her podcast has seven million downloads. She's that good.

It's a long episode but you'll want to hear the whole thing.

Maggie Smith's book Keep Moving

No one knows what they're doing when they first start a new thing.

You think they do because you see them on social media and they appear to be killing it.

But there was a time they didn't know what they were doing either. This includes yours truly.

Listen to this episode for a swift quick in the booty.

Perhaps you think you need a different body, a better job, a relationship, or a million dollars to be happy.

Your fixed idea of what you think you need to be happy is making you miserable. It's shutting you off to the opportunites of joy available to you right now.

Using mindfulness you can create a bigger container to hold disappointment AND happiness at the same time.

Two simple words that can be so difficult to say… I'm sorry. If you value your relationships, you need to be able to say these words and receive them too. In this episode I talk about what makes a good, sincere, heartfelt apology and what makes for a bad one. I also share what can happen over time if apologies are never given.
