    The Scrumptious Woman with Juliette Karaman

    The Scrumptious Woman… a woman who lives with gratitude, generosity of spirit, pleasure, and deep connection. In this episode, I had the absolute delight of sitting down with Juliette Karaman, intimacy and embodiment expert, to explore what it means to deepen intimacy in our relationships. We talk about how to relax into each other, dance with your partner, and create the kind of connection that allows both people to fully flourish. We also celebrate the beauty of living in a world where women deeply support one another.  And I'm thrilled to share that Juliette will be joining the Amazing You women in Paris in August 2026! Juliette has the kind of laugh you hear before she enters the room, and she knows Paris the way only someone who has truly lived there can: the hidden streets, the neighborhood boulangeries, and the cafés where time seems to stand still. Featured in Forbes, The Times, ITV, and Marie Claire, Juliette is the host of The Scrumptious Woman podcast, ranked in the top 2.5% globally. Through her work with more than 650 couples and nearly 1,000 clients across 20+ countries, she teaches one powerful truth: the relationship you have with your own body influences everything else. 🎧 Listen in for a rich conversation about intimacy, embodiment, and bringing more joy, connection, and aliveness into your life and relationships.

    Sexually Curious... What Men Want to Ask A Sex Therapist

    "Why do I have a sex drive difference from my partner and what can I do about it? " "Why does my wife never seem to initiate sex?" "What can I do about my anger and frustration around being sexually rejected?" "How come I can't always tell if my wife has had an orgasm, and what can I do?" If you've asked one of these questions, you're not alone! Men are curious and want to have deep, intimate relationships, but sometimes can't find the answers. Doug interviews Leslie in this episode to get to the bottom of some of these questions. There's more!!! Many other topics and questions arose during the talk including: - The difference between men's and women's sexual fantasies and sexual desire. - What is underneath men's sexual frustration and the personal and relational "fix" for it?  - The role of fear of not getting sexual needs met and men's sex "drive". - "Does pornography work as an antidote to a difference in sexual desire?" - How couples can work through and negotiate their sexual life in all its nuances.  - Why men's pursuit of their partners often fails. - The truth about "sexual incompatibility" and what to do. The episode takes an unexpected turn in the latter part of the episode when Doug asks about why affairs happen and if men (and women) can get the passion back after the affair.  This is a lively discussion that will help the listener become Better, Smarter & Sexier!

    Men and Sex - Lovers and Leaders

    Leslie has the joy of interviewing Doug in the second episode of Men and Sex. The conversation is deep and rich. We uncover what healthy sexuality is for men and what is underneath men's desires. "Most men want to be better men" but don't necessarily know the path in the intimate, sexual, interpersonal and relational arenas. Men are lovers and leaders but need to unearth and explore identity, emotions, the heart of a man, the role of porn and becoming whole as a man. Doug emphasizes the critical importance of men understanding their own complexity so they can live fully, powerfully and confidently in and out of the bedroom. Many men lean on sex as their primary avenue for the management of their emotions, releasing stress and feeling alive and connected, but must reconcile what sex is about for them, what it really can be and who they are as men. Lastly, the "GREAT WANT" for men (that both men and women hold) is highlighted. PLEASE Subscribe, Enjoy! And Become, Better, Smarter and Sexier!

    Imagination & Fantasy in the Bedroom

    My husband, Doug Gustafson, interviews me as we dip into the fascinating world of fantasy and imagination in the bedroom.   There are many nuances and layers to this topic, but I want you to know that you are a creative and imaginative person in and out of the bedroom! Let yourself ponder that.   Considering yourself and what you want to do with your inner life enhances you personally and could potentially improve your experience as a sexual person and a sexual partner.   What's fantasy all about, and what different kinds of fantasy are there? Why would we need fantasy to enhance our sexual experience? What do couples need to do to have a healthy fantasy? Are there any you shouldn't be having? What about the "moral" issue?   Join us as we talk about all this and more, and encourage you to become smarter, healthier, and sexier!   PLEASE Subscribe, Enjoy!
