She works with individuals and couples navigating mismatched desire, disconnection, and the challenges that can arise when intimacy changes over time.Together, we explore why desire isn't always as simple as “being in the mood,” how shame and clinical labels can affect our relationship with intimacy, and why feeling safe, present, and connected can be just as important as physical attraction.Dr. Lori has been featured in The New York Times, Oprah Daily, and Women's Health, and teaches sexuality counseling at the University of Michigan. Her message is a powerful reminder that intimacy isn't simply about sex it's also about connection, communication, vulnerability, presence, and feeling at home in your own body.Whether you're navigating changes in your own intimate life or simply want to better understand the complexities of desire and connection, this episode offers a thoughtful and shame-free perspective.Intimacy doesn't have to disappear with time. Sometimes, it simply needs to be understood differently.Note: This episode is for educational purposes only and does not replace individualized medical, mental health, or sexual-health advice from a qualified professional.#WealthAndWellnessExplorations #DrLoriDavis #SexualHealth #SexualWellness #Intimacy #Relationships #HealthyRelationships #Desire #MismatchedDesire #Pleasure #EmotionalWellness #RelationshipHealth #WomensHealth #MensHealth #BodyAwareness #SelfAwareness #Communication #Connection #Wellness #MindBodyConnection #PersonalGrowth #HealthyLiving #Podcast #PodMatch
