  • 488. How to Enjoy Sex More: A Conversation with Sex Coach Laura Jurgens
    Apr 30 2026

    So many women think there’s something wrong with their sex drive, when the real issue is how they’ve been taught to relate to their body. In this episode, I sit down with sex coach Laura Jurgens to explore why low libido is not just a mindset problem or a medical issue, and how repeated experiences, socialization, and nervous system patterns shape your relationship with intimacy.

    If you’ve been feeling disconnected from your desire or unsure how to create a more fulfilling sex life, this episode will help you see what’s actually getting in the way. You’ll learn how to reconnect with your own preferences, communicate what you want, and build a sense of safety and agency in your body so intimacy can feel more natural and enjoyable.

  • 487. Coaching Hotline: Learning to Love Your Body & Navigating Unclear Expectations at Work
    Apr 28 2026

    Do you struggle to feel at peace with your body when you gain weight? Or worry that gaining weight will result in health issues? In this Coaching Hotline episode, I invite you to challenge the beliefs that weight is synonymous with health and that health is synonymous with morality (spoiler alert, it's not).

    Then, I tackle a listener question about unclear work expectations and how that impacts their perceived success in the role. I show you how to step into clarity and confidence so you can take action on what matters most and stop feeling frustrated by things that are out of your control.

  • 486. The Last 5% - The Secret to Completing Any Goal
    Apr 23 2026

    Have you ever gotten so close to a goal, and then one thing to goes wrong, and your brain immediately decide the whole thing was a mistake? That moment right before the finish line is where so many people quit. In this episode, I introduce a concept I call The Last 5% and showing you why your brain is most likely to turn progress into proof that you’re not capable right when you’re closest to getting the result you want.

    If you’ve ever stopped just short of what you wanted or told yourself all your effort didn’t count because you didn’t get the final result, this will change how you approach your goals. You’ll learn how to stop making setbacks mean something about you, figure out what’s actually left to solve, and keep moving forward from experience instead of starting over.

Smart, thoughtful, important, relevant, and down-to-earth, without any hesitation or exaggeration, this podcast has changed my life. I understand myself and my mind so much more than I realized was possible, and I have learned how to take ownership of my life. I find that my best days are ones on which I listen to multiple episodes and continually consider and learn from the methods. Thank you, Kara (and Brooke)
