Chalene and Bret get real about marriage, intimacy, and why so many couples lose their spark after years together. They break down what's actually behind low libido after 40, hormones, stress, resentment, body image, sleep, and all the real-life stuff no one talks about. It's funny, honest, and packed with takeaways for couples who want to reconnect without the shame or awkwardness. There's even a quick role-play on how to bring up hormones and testing, plus an update on Chalene's "age-affirming" surgery and where to watch the full journey.

| 0:00.0 | You know, some couples are fighting about sex. Other couples are just quietly resolving themselves to not |
| 0:10.2 | having it. And some couples are very much still into each other. But that is pretty rare. I mean, |
| 0:17.7 | I think Brett and I are statistically outliers, that's for sure. And in this |
| 0:23.3 | episode, the two of us sit down to have a rather comical, but also very honest discussion about |
| 0:31.5 | marriage and sex and sexless marriages. And we talk about what that actually means, why it is way more common |
| 0:40.9 | than what people probably realize. So if that's something you're dealing with, please know that |
| 0:47.7 | this is going to be a really important episode for you. We're going to talk about how easy it is |
| 0:52.6 | to end up there, how common it is to end up there, |
| 0:54.8 | how frankly how natural it is to end up there. |
| 0:59.8 | Like so many things affect drive and desire and libido and there should be no shame in it. |
| 1:07.6 | And there are solutions sometimes within the marriage, sometimes outside of the marriage. |
| 1:12.8 | And we talk about all of it. |
| 1:14.2 | We talk about hormones and ED and pelvic floor pain and changes in your appearance |
| 1:20.8 | and resentment and anger and, you know, like what happens if you just don't feel like you are |
| 1:27.2 | attractive? Or what if you just don't feel like yourself? Or what if you feel like what happens if you just don't feel like you are attractive or what if you don't feel |
| 1:29.4 | like yourself or what if you feel like your partner is completely let go of themselves right like |
| 1:35.3 | we're going to talk about all of those things some personal friends that we have who are in |
| 1:41.0 | long-term relationships and are trying to navigate this. Why desires change |
| 1:45.6 | at 40 at 50? Why there's a rise in, quote, open relationships or the lifestyle, if you will. |
| 1:54.0 | And this conversation, I think, is an important one. Also, we talk about how do you bring this |
| 2:00.7 | subject up with your partner? |
| 2:03.0 | And Brett and I actually even did a little role playing. |
