121 Sex and Intimacy Through Chronic Illness with Reid Richardson

LYME Voice

Sex, Intimacy, and Love are mysterious and fluid aspects of life even within a healthy body and a healthy relationship.

Whether you are parenting a sick child, have a sick spouse, or you yourself are struggling with ever-changing symptoms within your own body. Chronic illness (with all of its losses and lessons) becomes a 3rd party within your intimate relationships.

In this raw and intimate interview, I talk with Reid Richardson, a breakthrough and relationship coach and co-founder of Super-Powered Humans about prioritizing intimacy, overcoming victim mentalities, and operating in your own authority. How does ALL of that relate to your sex life? It does, I promise, tune in!

~Dealing with built-up regret.
~Loss becomes an identity.
~Becoming a better human (not a better man).
~Sex shaming.
~Being conscious about repeating patterns from the past.
~Real bravery. (Sometimes being brave means staying in a relationship, sometimes it means leaving).
~Breaking patterns that no longer serve us physically, financially, emotionally, and sexually. (Get out of your own head)
~Manifestation through orgasm.
~How to live in the moment
