Does your sex life leave you wanting? Learn how to recharge your love life and enjoy sex without STRESS!
I asked Jessa Zimmerman, licensed couples counselor, to join me on the show as we commence our Sex, Love and Intimacy series.
Why are we focusing on this?
Because the physical components of sex provide myriad health benefits– but it’s also the emotional component of a real, loving, INTIMATE connection with another human being we care about that can add so much to our lives– bringing JOY and fulfillment, well beyond the physical.
This is why we’ll be interviewing experts of all kinds on these topics- to help YOU reconnect with your own body and experience passion, love and intimacy year-round. Be sure to listen to both parts of this 2 part episode! You can listen to part 2 by CLICKING HERE.
