Not saying this is a rational fear, but sometimes we just gotta walk through it to get to the other side.In today's episode, I talked about the one way that I've learned to actually 'nurture' my soul that will probably be a bit surprising, but it's been a massive game changer for me in how I live my life and where I find my peace.

Kelly and Chip revisit a conversation with sex expert, Susan Bratton, that has them asking the question - does sex get better with age? Plenty of studies and research have suggested that sex does get better with age, and that it's a habit that only improves with experience and understanding of self. So contrary to common myth, you're unlikely to be having the best sex of your life in your 20s. That particular accolade kicks in a few years later. -https://www.flashpack.com/us/solo/relationships/better-sex-30s-40s-empowerment/#:~:text=Plenty%20of%20studies%20and%20research,in%20a%20few%20years%20later.

Susan addresses how unhappy she was previously in their sex life and what changed for her and them once she decided to voice her needs and they began exploring more.
