Does Couples Therapy Really Improve Sex Lives?
It sure does! I see this in my virtual office every day. But, this is not linear progress, and it's based on a whole bunch of variables. Listen and see if you and your partner would potentially be good candidates for this... or if you should save your money!

When Women Are Scared To Be Alone With Kids
This is very common in women who have undiagnosed or unrecognized depression, anxiety, and/or childhood trauma. Listen to see if it may resonate with you more than you would guess! And if you're a husband... listen if you have come to realize that your wife is extremely uncomfortable or angry about any time spent in "solo parenting"... or if everyone is always crying/dysregulated or life activities haven't been done after her time alone with them.

The Empathic Rupture Of Never Getting To Stay Home With Kids

"Spirit Week" And Constant School Emails Are Unfair To Kids And Parents Alike
I see constant school contact and need for parental involvement massively stress many marriages in the clients I work with. And, if you're a child in a dysfunctional or poor family, you get screwed over time and time again when your parents cannot get their shit together to get you a special outfit or don't have the money to do so. If you're stressed beyond belief by the school your kid attends, this is the episode for you!

"Why Can Hookers Do It Multiple Times A Day And Your Wife Can't?"
This is a real question I got on social media. I answer it because some guys don't understand the differences. For female listeners... this question can show you how little some men understand basic stuff about women, and how you may need to explain to your husband a LOT more about your sexuality than you ever imagined! Also covered: the rates of suicidality and PTSD in sex workers...

If Your Husband Takes Over The Emotional And The Physical Labor... Why?
This is something I wonder about constantly when I see some young men on social media talking about taking over the emotional and physical labor of parenting. Quite honestly, I often see the woman doing as little of the gruntwork as possible, which flips the same toxic script as when men opted out of gruntwork and engaged with parenting only on a decision-making level. Many of these women are anxious or depressed... but you'd never know because they don't realize it. Listen for an interesting discussion!

Do Cute Parenting Stuff With Your Wife Before It's Too Late!
The cute parenting activity era is finite, although it doesn't feel that way when you're in it. Here is what your wife likely wants from you, why, and what older guys tend to think about this phase when it's over. Also: watching the game every weekend while she hangs out with the kids isn't usually a good thing for the marriage later on!
