What's the most iconic movie phrase in 1989?

If you're a woman, it's arguably "I'll have what she's having" from the movie When Harry met Sally starring Meg Ryan and Billy Crystal.

The diner scene when Meg Ryan falls into erotic ecstasy with ohs, yes-es, and exclamations over her burger and milkshake while other women in the diner watch with envy is a classic.

If passion like that isn't in your sexual relationship because of stress, anxiety, symptoms of perimenopause and menopause, or all the other curve balls life throws at you after 40, this podcast interview was created with you in mind.

My guest, intimacy coach, Amy Color helps people connect and have playful relationships with love lives they love.

Amy became the intimacy professional she went looking for and couldn’t find. She created solutions to conventional talk therapy or pills, that solve real intimacy problems for real people in real relationships. She's written THE BOOK on intimacy: The Huddle: How To Score In Sex & Love.

As you'll hear in this episode, Amy is a memorable speaker. She's delivered an epic TEDx talk, Better Intimacy For Better Sex with over 1M views. Amy Color wants everyone to stop fighting and feel the love connection. ~ Mm-hmm.

Here's what you'll hear in our conversation:
  • What's Amy's story? Why did she become an intimacy coach?
  • How does body image get in the way of creating a meaningful sexual relationship and what does it mean to #freethejiggle?
  • Help! He has a porn issue, erectile dysfunction, bad technique, doesn't initiate well, unattractive smell or touch - how can women work with their partners to address these complaints rather than think it's their fault?
  • How to get a man to show up in other rooms of the house - and how does this help a coupler build emotional intimacy ("stay connected. Mm-hmm.")
  • Amy shares her best advice for women in midlife who want to re-spark an intimate relationship that feels like "you're just roommates with a mortgage."
