78: Part 5/12: Pillow-Screaming & Active Listening: How to Talk about Sex Series

78: Part 5/12: Pillow-Screaming & Active Listening: How to Talk about Sex Series Janelle and Andrea share how talking about sex comes back to communication skills, yo, (ones you were probably never taught) including active listening, nonviolent communication, emotional release tools, the RBDSMAT framework and itty bitty conversation hacks. They've both come a loooong way. But don't let your masculine take over--these are not achievements, they're skills that take years to put into practice. Have patience Bravehearts! You'll hear: --Why pillow-screaming was perfect for Andrea during difficult convos --How simple touch relaxed Janelle's nervous system --Why taking responsibility for your emotions is KEY --When Janelle learned communication is not a personality trait --Andrea's relief: Her big emotions were just energy! --How Janelle's lover felt like they'd been on 30 dates after RBDSMAT --Location. Location. Location. Why it matters for hard conversations. --------------- We're Andrea and Janelle--two midlife mavericks sharing openly about our own experiences--messy AF and no regrets----with marriage, divorce, polyamory and pleasure. You'll hear from relationship experts, meet real life Bravehearts and get intimacy skills.  Truth: When we're brave enough to ask for what we want, honor our  boundaries and have the hard conversations--with partners, friends, family and, most importantly, ourselves--magic happens and happiness ensues. If you're seeking permission to create a new map for relationships and want to feel less alone along the way, we got you. With glitter and radical acceptance, Janelle & Andrea.
