Slam Dunk Level Intimacy. Every. Single. Time.

Katie Thompson sits down with Dr. Emily Jamea for an unfiltered conversation about today's decline in s*x, the biases that keep us from talking about our desires, and the 5 secrets to unlocking full-blown flow state in the bedroom.

• You’ve seen an athlete “in the zone.”
• You’ve watched a musician lose themselves mid-song.
• But have you ever thought about what flow state looks like during intimacy?

Turns out the same neurochemistry that fuels peak performance on the court can fuel peak connection under the sheets.

Hear how intimacy takes shape in short and long term relationships, why getting to know your own body and sexual desires is the prerequisite before finding flow and intimacy, and learn exactly how to communicate what you want and when you want it, no matter how big the swing.
