Have you ever gotten all bent out of shape over something as trivial as which way the toilet paper is facing on the roll? Or why your husband keeps leaving his dirty socks on the floor? If so, I can relate. Most of us give way too many f**ks about way too many things. And most of them are utterly un-f**k-worthy. Which is why this week's episode is all about the subtle art of NOT giving a f**k — or rather, learning to be more choosy about which f**ks you do (or don't) give. It's a critical piece of the living-like-a-badass puzzle, so don't miss this one! (Note: this episode is packed full of my favorite 4-letter word. Please use headphones if you're listening in proximity to "sensitive ears.") Show notes for this episode available at igniteyourinnerbadass.com/005-2

Sex is one of the topics many people feel uncomfortable talking about—to their detriment, apparently—because a 2017 study of 1,000 American couples showed that 34% are unsatisfied with their sex life, and a whopping 62% of women say they’re not satisfied with their sex life. YIKES! So this week’s episode tackles this often-taboo subject with a focus on dispelling myths and revealing the BEST ways to bring the heat back into your love life—whether you’ve got a partner or not. Quick note: This episode is quite a bit longer than normal (1 hr 8 min), but I cover a LOT of really important info, so I promise that it’s worth the time!
