Bodyful #18: Solo Episode on Sexual Desire 101

By Valerie Martin

Sexual desire is one of the most loaded relationship topics in our culture— and challenges with it are the most common reason couples state for seeking therapy.

In this solo episode, I share about some of the concepts I’ve found most useful since learning more about sexual desire, desire differences in relationships, and how to get unstuck when you’re struggling with desire in your relationship.

I hope you find this episode helpful, and I'd love to know if there are topics you'd like to see covered on future solo episodes, and/or guest recommendations for the show. (Comment on this post or email me at valerie@gaiacenter.co !

We’ll be back in 2 weeks with another guest episode that I’m super excited to share with y’all.

Bodyful #16: Solo Episode on Nervous System Regulation

By Valerie Martin

I've had a bad case of Life Getting in the Way recently— which has involved some amazing trips and experiences, but I'm eager to get back to a biweekly routine with the podcast!

My next guest interview was gracious about rescheduling when I got unexpectedly stuck in New York, so that episode will release in two weeks. 

Meanwhile, I thought I'd share a solo episode with a primer on self-regulation via working directly with the nervous system— why we should know about it and how we can do it, with a few of my go-to tools.

I hope you find this episode helpful, and I'd love to know if there are topics you'd like to see covered on future solo episodes, and/or guest recommendations for the show. (Comment on this post or email me at valerie@gaiacenter.co !
