Episode 17 unfolds differently than all the rest! When they embarked on this conversation Lauren thought they'd be discussing the power of self-actualization and the accessibility of self-help resources these days. But, as you'll see, the dialogue takes a much different turn. Lauren shares how, through the power of question asking, Trey encourages intimacy and makes her feel: un-known, exciting, and erotically expansive.

Trey shares how he first picked up the classic book, HOW TO WIN FRIENDS AND INFLUENCE PEOPLE (https://amzn.to/3SzH6jp), written in 1936 by Dale Carnegie, and how it became a game changer for his interpersonal encounters. Lauren then draws a connection to the KINK world and how, contrary to appearances, the power lies with the submissive. Similarly, the power in conversation lies with the questioner who is RECEIVING the words of the responder.

At minute 31 Lauren mentions, once again, one of their favorite books by Susan David, PhD: Emotional Agility: Get Unstuck, Embrace Change, and Thrive in Work and Life. You can purchase it here: https://amzn.to/3IrIAri
