When Men Talk About Sex: The Power of Vulnerability in Relationships | Ep 73

In this episode, I’m getting real about something that can completely transform your relationship: vulnerability. We often think of vulnerability as something women do, but here’s the truth—men can be just as willing to open up, and when they do, it’s absolutely amazing. Here’s the thing: men and women aren’t as different as we think. The fears women have about aging, like changes to our bodies or confidence, are so similar to what men go through. For men, things like erectile dysfunction can feel like their whole identity is being questioned. But just like we’re learning to embrace the changes in ourselves, they can too—and we can help each other through it. If this sounds like something you and your partner need, hit that play button and let’s dive in!
