    From "rock bottom" to "our strongest point" with Matt & Dylan

    The very things that Matt and Dylan were doing that they thought were being helpful and kind ended up being the very things that hurt each other the most. When Matt and Dylan started working with me, they described their relationship as nearing rock bottom. Now, they've bought their first home together and are at "our strongest point." In this episode, you'll learn about some traps that couple can fall into (so you can avoid them), what really goes into strengthening a relationship, and how to make commitment work for the long-term. I hope you'll be inspired by Matt & Dylan's relationship!

    From Shame to Sexually Liberated

    How do you know if shame is holding you back from the best version of your relationship or sex life? The tricky thing about shame is that it sneaks in and disguises itself as truth. Regardless of how long you've been dating and hooking up, no matter how long you've identified as kinky or queer, whether you've had 1 partner or 100 ... it's possible that there is another level of shame hiding out and sabotaging you. In this episode, Brian highlights some common signs that sex shame might still have a hold on you and equips you with tools to move from shame to sexual liberation.
