Is your job destroying your sex life? Do you give so much to growing professionally, that you overlook the potential consequence on our sex drive? Does your partner get the leftovers? Is it your fault or are you the victim of an oppressive system that forces us to exhaust ourselves? Is it just how things are in a capitalistic society, or do we put more pressure on ourselves then necessary?
We hear a lot about sex and a lot of advancing our careers, but rarely, do we get the chance to hear about them together. In this episode of Untherapeutic, Dr. Nic Hardy is joined by Dr. Nicole Hargons, award-winning associate professor of counseling psychology at the University of Kentucky. Dr. Hargons is a thought leader in this field, and provides timeless insights to improve work-sex-life balance.
In this episode, Dr. Hargons answers common questions about what it takes to have a thriving sex life, even with a demanding job. Whether you are trying to muster up the energy for your partner at night, or overcoming unhealthy stigmas around worthiness, this podcast episode is packed with timeless insights on sex, shame, worthiness, and unhealthy cultural norms that we have adopted.
