In this coaching episode, Maria asks the age old question: why is it so hard to ask for what I want?! She's convinced that her problem is in poor communication skills, but it doesn't take long to discover that the issue lies in a complete different area.
Leah works with Maria to:
- understand how gender dynamics are creating friction in the "what do you want?" conversation,
- rethink how her definition of "sex" makes asking so difficult,
- practice the way she'd like to initiate a conversation about sex with potential partners.
Maria is a 27-year-old cisgender woman. She describes herself as white, bisexual and single. She describes her body as athletic.
Leah offers valuable insights and tools to help Maria and all listeners to reconsider talking about their desires.

Saskia Inwood woke up one morning, knowing her life would never be the same. The night before, she learned the unimaginable – that the husband she knew in the light of day was a different person after dark. This season unpacks Saskia’s discovery of her husband’s secret life and her fight to bring him to justice. Along the way, we expose a crime that is just coming to light. This is also a story about the myth of the “perfect victim:” who gets believed, who gets doubted, and why. We follow Saskia as she works to reclaim her body, her voice, and her life.
