Hello everyone! This week I’m joined by the incredible Dr. Diane, a clinical psychologist and relationship expert who helps couples keep long-term love and libido thriving. Her work focuses on keeping connection and libido alive through honest communication, curiosity, and care. Dr. Diane has a gift for making complex topics feel approachable and real, and her insights on desire, intimacy, and partnership are ones every couple can learn from.
In this episode:
- How desire naturally shifts in long-term relationships
- Why communication is key to keeping intimacy alive
- How curiosity can reignite attraction and connection
- How to approach low libido without blame or shame
- Practical ways to bring novelty back into a long-term relationship
- How to talk about sex when it feels awkward or vulnerable
