Summary

Join us on a journey filled with laughter, real-life experiences, and powerful insights as we welcome Kristen and J-Rod, the couple behind the hit podcast 'And Then We Had Sex'. These two share an incredible story about how they launched a successful podcast, and their unique approach to navigating relationships and intimacy when you're older. This episode is a deep dive into the idea of 'Pivot with Purpose' and how Kristen and J-Rod carved their path on their own terms.

 

As we dig deeper, we engage in an enlightening discussion about common reasons for failed relationships. Brace yourselves as we reveal that cleanliness tops the list, even surpassing financial issues! We also touch on the negative impacts of social media overuse on relationships, illustrated by a viral video that underscores the importance of being present. This conversation doesn't shy away from exploring the challenges of dating, blended families, and the therapeutic potential of podcasting for couples.
