42| Isiah McKimmie Sexologist, Opening up on love, intimacy, couple therapy and why postmenopausal women are having the best s*x of their lives!

Isiah McKimmie wears many hats, sexologist, therapist and couples coach. She is passionate about creating intimacy, love and connection with her clients and teaching clinicians how to talk to their patients about sex. Clare and Isiah leave no stone unturned, answering all the Patty's questions about sex and relationships. Isiah spends time normalising the postpartum "roommate" phase and gives great advice on navigating through tricky times. Working on building communication and playfulness back into the relationship and taking the pressure of penetrative sex. Rather focusing on connection and talking about what we want openly and asking for it! We should stop expecting our sexual partners to be mind readers, let's take back the power of intimacy and lay it all out, letting each other know what is one the "menu" per se. Clare opens up about faking orgasms in past relationships, an Isiah speaks on removing orgasms as the goal post for "successful" intimacy. We debunk the myths on postpartum, low labido and postmenopausal sex, we also hear some fun stories from the 'mature' women Isiah see's in her practice and why they are having the best sex of their lives! Isiah generously gives advice on navigating circular arguments and how to stop answering on the defence, we discussed communication types (openers vs closers) and how they are often partnered together. So if you would like to do one thing today that will help your relationship, listen to this podcast and find out more on what we can do to be more for filled in both our intimate and emotional relationships.  Love Patty x Website: https://isiah-mckimmie.com/ Insta:https://www.instagram.com/isiahmckimmie.sexologist/?hl=en Podcast: Our Patients are having sex
