In this episode, I'm joined by Alisa Kriegel, a Manhattan psychologist with a thriving private practice and the author of From Sexless Marriage to Sex Goddess.
Together, we unpack what researchers actually mean by “sexless marriage,” why shame and lack of communication keep couples stuck, and how complicated the real causes can be.
Alisa shares personal, unfiltered insights on sexual pain, birth control effects, learning your own body later in life, and the difference between friendship chemistry and sexual chemistry.
We also shift into the writing and publishing side: how Alisa drafted early pages in her iPhone Notes app on subway rides, why content editing mattered, and how she made careful choices around privacy, names, and not turning her ex into a villain.
If you care about Relationships, women’s pleasure, sex Education for adults, couples Therapy, or the craft of writing a memoir that tells the truth without causing unnecessary harm, there’s a lot here to sit with.
