Summary

This week, I'm sharing a replay of my interview with New York Times bestseller, Dr. Emily @Nagoski, author of Come as You Are, because she's so interesting and because as we shift through seasons of our lives (and through pandemic seasons!) our s*xual needs and s*x lives shift and evolve, too. There are certain themes that we hear differently in each phase of our own lives. One of my favorite quotes from this interview is: "The most important factor for women in creating and sustaining a fulfilling s*x life, is not what you do in bed or how you do it, but how you feel about it." It's just one of many pearls Emily drops in this episode! Join me in this episode of Natural MD Radio as I talk with Emily about what we can do to cultivate s*xual wellbeing in our lives and how we learn what's normal and fulfilling for each of us, not externally based norms. Thank you so much for taking the time to tune in to your body, yourself, and this podcast! Please share the love by sending this to someone in your life who could benefit from the kinds of things we talk about in this space.
