    164. Why You Don't Want Sex & What To Do About It with Courtney Boyer

    164. Why You Don't Want Sex & What To Do About It with Courtney Boyer

    Ever feel like sex is just another thing on the To Do list that you'd rather keep putting off?

    You're not alone and you're not broken!

    SO many women don't look forward to or enjoy sex -- and it's largely not for the reasons you'd think!

    Today I'm joined by mental health and sex therapist, Courtney Boyer, who literally wrote the book on this, called "Not Tonight, Honey."

    Listen and learn how we've ended up here and what you can do about it.

    Courtney Boyer, M.Ed., M.S. is a relationship and sexuality expert and author of Not Tonight, Honey: Why women actually don't want sex and what we can do about it. Courtney believes we can reclaim our power through our sexuality and she helps her clients to infuse passion and creativity into their lives by helping them uncover what's preventing them from connecting with their priorities and purpose. 

    As her work in this field develops, Courtney is drawn to the emerging fields of epigenetics, neuropsychology and energy work. She is trained in evidence-based methods like NLP, EMDR, IFS, and trauma-focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy.

Credible, motivating, and enjoyable!

I first met Esther on this podcast. I really enjoyed listening to several episodes before I reached out to her for information about her coaching program. She has a lot of credibility and gives sound, rational advice. Esther provides a broad range of realistic scenarios, so that every listener is sure to relate. The topics are varied and interesting, and she has a way of simplifying complex science into practical information we can all benefit from. Give this podcast a try!

Amazing content to truly live diet free

If you want to get off the roller coaster and all or nothings mentality when it comes to losing weight. This is the podcast for you. Real-talk and strategies to make changes to becoming a healthier you.

KateD915 ,

Great wisdom

Esther distills down big topics into manageable action steps. Many of her episodes are like a CliffsNotes version of all the great books I intend to read but never have the time. My favorite are the client spotlights and I can always see a bit of myself in each of the women she interviews, making me realize, if they can do it, so can I!
