Episode 14: Let’s Talk About Sex, Baby! with licensed sex therapist Jessa Zimmerman

This week on the podcast, I interview Jessa Zimmerman, a licensed sex therapist and couples’ counselor.

Jessa specializes in helping couples who have a good relationship but who are avoiding sex because it’s become stressful, negative, disappointing, or pressured.

We had a great chat about whether or not an unfulfilling sex life is reason enough to end a marriage, and how to jumpstart it without it being too fucking awkward.

We also talk about mis-matched libidos, the sexual avoidance cycle, porn and so much more! Needless to say, it’s a juicy one!

Want More Support?

Many listeners start with the podcast—and at some point realize they want more support while they’re actually in the middle of divorce.

It’s a place to get faster clarity, strategic guidance in real time, and support while you move through the legal, emotional, and logistical realities of divorce—so you’re not trying to figure it all out alone.

Divorce is hard.

High-conflict divorce is a different beast.

Phoenix Rising gives you the strategy, support, and community you need to navigate divorce with more clarity, confidence, and steadiness. You don’t have to figure this out alone.
