We always promise to pull back the curtain on real relational work, but this week, we are right in the thick of it. In this raw and deeply transparent episode, Trey and Lauren unpack a real-time relational rift that occurred just days ago. What started as a seemingly "small" lie via text message; Trey claiming he was playing in a golf tournament just to avoid an event, became the catalyst for a profound exploration of trauma responses, defensive coping mechanisms, and the long road of generational healing.They break down exactly what happened when the truth came out, how old wounds from past marriages and family histories immediately flooded the bedroom, and the exact step-by-step tools they used to intervene at the level of physical sensation to find their way back to connection.Key Takeaways:• Trey confesses to bending the truth to escape an obligation, acknowledging his dislike for lying but falling into a childish trap of "jazzing up" reality. Lauren shares the immediate somatic impact of the confession; feeling her body drop into a free-falling vortex due to past trauma with a lying father and a gaslighting first husband.• Lauren breaks down the clinical anatomy of a trigger. When a threat enters the relationship, it creates overwhelming physical sensations, which drive us toward old safety-seeking behaviors. These behaviors inevitably impact and trigger our partner, spinning the couple into a reactive loop.• Trey and Lauren map out their respective morning-after coping mechanisms. Lauren recognizes her body wanting to flee to the "separation bus" and slipping into an over-functioning "child maid" archetype. Meanwhile, Trey unpacks his "Soldier of Fortune" shadow side; the urge to isolate, run away, and believe it's just easier to be Peter Pan on his own than to pay a massive emotional toll for a mistake.If you want to learn how to map your own attachment cycles, identify your safety-seeking behaviors, and build a relationship container strong enough to hold your shadows and your triggers, let's do the work together.Request your free 15-minute consult at sexedforyou.com/freeconsult.About ThemLauren and Trey are partners living in Central Virginia, where Lauren owns and operates Sex Ed for You.

After pulling back the curtain on the brutal stomach virus that hit the final leg of their European tour last week, Lauren and Trey are back to talk about the good stuff. In this episode, they recount Trey's first-ever trip overseas; a three-country whirlwind through Paris, Amsterdam, and Barcelona (with a final stop in the quiet beach town of Sitges) in April and May of 2026.Moving past the sickness, they unpack the deep relational gold found on the road: why making adult friendships is a secret weapon for a thriving sex life, how to perfectly balance relationship logistics based on individual strengths, and what happened when they stepped into a historic Parisian erotic theater that completely shattered their American-bred biases.If you and your partner are trying to navigate your own travel triggers, step out of isolating relationship bubbles, or unpack your old scripts around pleasure, intimacy, and control, you don't have to do it alone.Ready to start building a resilient, well-defined partnership?Request your free 15-minute consult at sexedforyou.com/freeconsult.About ThemLauren and Trey are partners living in Central Virginia, where Lauren owns and operates Sex Ed for You.

In this quieter, beautifully raw episode of The Partnership Podcast, Lauren and Trey are back from their three-week trip to Europe, but they didn't exactly get the fairytale ending they planned. Instead, the final leg of their journey was hit by a severe stomach virus and otherworldly fevers that completely upended their vacation.Moving away from their usual high-octane discussions on sex and desire, they sit down to explore the other side of relationship reality: the somatic vulnerability of getting sick, the profound difficulty of receiving care, and what it truly means to step into the sacred space of partnership privilege.Lauren and Trey unpack the messy reality of traveling through multiple countries and climates: Trey describes the physical intensity of a day-six stomach bug and a shivering, chattering fever that forced him into deep physical vulnerability. Trey opens up about the emotional toll of getting sick on vacation and wrestling with the feeling that he was holding Lauren back from exploratory pleasure.Trey identifies his deepest fear around receiving nurturance; the underlying, irrational belief that he is "too much," taking up too much space, or becoming a burden to tolerate. Why the fear isn't necessarily about abandonment, but rather the terror that a partner will stay out of obligation while harboring residual "ugh" or resentment.Lauren and Trey address a common question from their listeners. If "there is no caretaking in desire," how do couples handle real-world ailments, accidents, and chronic issues?Lauren dies on a relational hill regarding the Wheel of Consent and the value of choosing to serve your partner: Why a relationship built entirely on the continuous chase of lust and pleasure ultimately becomes hollow.Lauren explains why stepping into caretaking for a chosen partner isn't a lower-tier "obligation," but a profound, full-hearted choice rooted in a deep desire to hold them through the hard parts of the human experience. If you're navigating a season where old childhood scripts make it terrifying to receive help, or if you're struggling to balance real-life caretaking with relational desire, you don't have to figure it out in isolation.

The entire film was shot in Israel with footage from Gaza. "Operation Arnon" tells the story of a high-stakes IDF rescue mission to free four hostages from Hamas in the Nuseirat refugee camp in the heart of Gaza. The mission unfolded in broad daylight, under heavy fire, in a densely populated area where Israeli forces previously had not been. Written and directed by Hannah Puder, the film traces the planning, execution, and aftermath of one of the most complex hostage rescues in recent history. Through firsthand accounts from Israeli commanders, intelligence officials, and the family of Chief Inspector Arnon Zmora—who was killed during the operation—it captures the precision, coordination, and risk involved in rescuing four hostages from Hamas on June 8, 2024. The conversation also focuses on how mainstream media reports on the events taking place in the Middle East and specifically as Israel defends its borders and safeguards its citizens including Arabs, Christians and Jews. americasrt.com https://ileaderssummit.org/ | https://jerusalemleaderssummit.com/ America's Roundtable on Apple Podcasts: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/americas-roundtable/id1518878472 X: @DEFCON_Blonde @ileaderssummit @americasrt1776 @NatashaSrdoc @JoelAnandUSA @supertalk @JTitMVirginia America's Roundtable is co-hosted by Natasha Srdoc and Joel Anand Samy, co-founders of International Leaders Summit and the Jerusalem Leaders Summit.

In this high-energy episode, Lauren and Trey dive deep into the carnal mechanics of desire. Picking up from their previous discussion on David Schnarch's work, they explore the concept of "f*cking" as a specific, functional, and necessary category of sex that is often the hardest to maintain in a long-term marriage.They pull back the curtain on how they negotiate "taking" and "allowing" in their own relationship, moving from the psychological theory of differentiation to the literal "socks on, blankets nearby" logistics of a five-minute encounter.Lauren and Trey discuss the difficulty of prioritizing one's own pleasure within the "nurturing" container of a long-term partnership. They break down:Why it is your job—not your partner's—to schedule and ask for the specific sexual experiences you want.Defining sex that is time-bound, goal-oriented, and centered on one person's pleasure (and why being "used" for a partner's delight can be a high-level erotic experience for both).Lauren shares the importance of "tents and balloons" (arousal) even in fast, penetrative encounters and how to communicate physical needs mid-act.The duo demonstrates a powerful communication tool used with Lauren's coaching clients. By stating exactly what they would want in a perfect world, without the pressure of an obligation, they create a "third domain" for negotiation.Watch (and listen) as Trey and Lauren literally negotiate the terms of a "f*ck," including timeframes, boundaries, "tingle times," and specific kinks.Recognizing that sex (and recording podcasts!) can be an act of service or a "willing" gift rather than a "giving to get" transaction.Lauren and Trey reflect on their different energy types; how Lauren's "Projector" energy thrives on the "roll" of communication while Trey's "Generator" energy reaches a clear cutoff point. They discuss how respecting these energetic limits is key to maintaining a "calm heart and calm mind" in the relationship.If you are ready to stop mind-reading and start negotiating for the pleasure you actually want, Lauren offers a trauma-informed, biopsychosocial approach to reclaiming your erotic voice.Request your free 15-minute consult at sexedforyou.com/freeconsult.About ThemLauren and Trey are partners living in Central Virginia, where Lauren owns and operates Sex Ed for You.

Jan is Epoch Times senior editor, and host of American Thought Leaders. Jan's career has spanned academia, international human rights work, and now for almost two decades, media. He has interviewed nearly a thousand thought leaders on camera, and specializes in long-form discussions challenging the grand narratives of our time. He's also an award-winning documentary filmmaker, producing The Unseen Crisis, DeSantis: Florida vs. Lockdowns, and Finding Manny. About the Book: "Killed to Order: China's Organ Harvesting Industry and the True Nature of America's Biggest Adversary" A crime the Chinese regime can no longer deny—Forced Organ Harvesting. What if everything you need to understand about the Chinese Communist Party—and how the free world should respond to it—could be explained through this one issue? In this urgent and eye-opening book, journalist Jan Jekielek distills decades of investigations from reputable sources, combined with his own research and in-depth firsthand insight, into a compelling case for rethinking our approach to the CCP. Through the lens of grave human rights abuses—most disturbingly, the state-sanctioned harvesting of organs from prisoners of conscience—Jekielek exposes the inner workings of a regime built on deception, coercion, and control. Killed to Order: The Organ Harvesting Industry of China and the True Nature of America's Biggest Adversary reveals why continuing to misunderstand the CCP poses a growing threat to global freedom. americasrt.com https://ileaderssummit.org/ | https://jerusalemleaderssummit.com/ America's Roundtable on Apple Podcasts: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/americas-roundtable/id1518878472 X: @JanJekielek @ileaderssummit @americasrt1776 @NatashaSrdoc @JoelAnandUSA @supertalk @JTitMVirginia America's Roundtable is co-hosted by Natasha Srdoc and Joel Anand Samy, co-founders of International Leaders Summit and the Jerusalem Leaders Summit.

In this episode of The Partnership Podcast, Lauren and Trey dive deep into a topic that often gets "cleaned up" or ignored in long-term relationships: the difference between standard intercourse and the raw, self-focused act of f*cking. Inspired by David Schnarch's book, Intimacy and Desire, they explore why the hardest person to "f*ck" is often the person you love the most and why reclaiming that "take" energy is vital for a thriving relationship.Lauren and Trey break down the mechanics of pleasure through the lens of the "Take" quadrant:Defining the "Take": Taking is the healthy pursuit of your own pleasure within the boundaries and consent of the giver.The Celebration of Desire: Instead of getting what you want in roundabout ways, taking is about explicitly asking for your desires and having them celebrated by your partner.Penetrative Intercourse as a Tool: They discuss how thrusting can be a beautiful example of taking, where one partner does the action for their pleasure while the other is in "allowing".A common question in Lauren's work is why casual sex often feels more titillating than sex with a spouse. In long-term partnerships, we become highly invested in the other's wellbeing. When you are worried about your partner's sleep, health, or ego, it becomes difficult to be "self-focused" or "devouring".Schnarch argues that in casual sex, we are more self-defined because the other person's life is not our domain. Lauren explains the biological "yuck" that occurs when one partner falls into a caretaking or mothering role, which naturally kills sexual attraction.Reclaiming fire in a seven-year (or seventy-year) marriage requires differentiation and individuation. To want someone, you have to see them as separate from you. Moving out of "smushy symbiosis" allows you to re-meet and re-discover each other.If you've lost the "f*cking" in your partnership and find yourselves stuck in caretaking or boredom, it's not too late to re-up the attraction.Ready to uproot the old scripts and reclaim your desire?Request your free 15-minute consult at sexedforyou.com/freeconsult.About ThemLauren and Trey are partners living in Central Virginia, where Lauren owns and operates Sex Ed for You.

We are also looking for solutions and best practices in the areas of urban planning, infrastructure and long-term growth. In April 2026 via AP: WASHINGTON (AP) — White House economists estimate the United States has a shortage of 10 million houses, according to a new report — and say regulatory cuts could lead to more construction to stabilize prices, increase home ownership and fuel faster economic growth. From a UK think tank: New analysis by the Centre for Policy Studies reveals that the UK has a shortage of 6.5 million homes when compared to similar European countries. Britain has just 446 homes per 1,000 people, the second worst rate in Europe. This compares to 560 in France, 516 in Germany, and a European average of 542. americasrt.com https://ileaderssummit.org/ | https://jerusalemleaderssummit.com/ America's Roundtable on Apple Podcasts: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/americas-roundtable/id1518878472 X: @simonedegale @ileaderssummit @americasrt1776 @NatashaSrdoc @JoelAnandUSA @supertalk @JTitMVirginia America's Roundtable is co-hosted by Natasha Srdoc and Joel Anand Samy, co-founders of International Leaders Summit and the Jerusalem Leaders Summit.

In this episode of The Partnership Podcast, Lauren and Trey take us to a busy train in New York City for a real-time breakdown of a relational misstep. What started as a simple gesture to find seating for Lauren's baby sister turned into a clash of tones, intentions, and deep-seated childhood triggers.They deconstruct how a single word, "bossy", can carry decades of weight, and how they used the "Intent vs. Impact" framework to close the loop before a small moment became a long-term wound.Lauren and Trey recount a moment of tension in front of family. Lauren describes an open-handed suggestion for seating; Trey hears a pointed-finger command. Trey explains his abrupt, defensive reaction and why he felt the need to stand up for his autonomy in the moment. Lauren shares the vulnerability of being labeled "bossy"; a tag she's carried since childhood when she was tasked with parenting her siblings.The duo dives into the complexity of leadership vs. control, especially for women: Lauren reflects on being a "second-string parent" at age 11 and the confusing double standard of being demanded to lead, then shamed for it. Trey observes that Lauren is currently in a season of finding her voice and setting boundaries, and he discusses why "grace for the fuck-ups" is necessary when filling a "dry pond" of self-expression. How the quest to be "perfect" and "holy" makes it difficult to acknowledge when we've been abrupt or defensive.Lauren and Trey demonstrate how they moved past the "He Said/She Said" semantics to find resolution:Why trying to prove "what really happened" is a dead end in relationship repair.How a walk back to the hotel and a "highlights and booboos" check-in led to a dual apology.Trey explains the power of leading with, "I apologize for the impact of my words; that was not my intent," and how that simple phrase allowed Lauren to drop her own defenses.Are you tired of getting stuck in the weeds of "who said what"?If you are ready to learn tools like Intent vs. Impact and move toward a messy, authentic, and highly connected partnership, Lauren offers a trauma-informed approach to relational coaching.Request your free 15-minute consult at sexedforyou.com/freeconsult.About ThemLauren and Trey are partners living in Central Virginia, where Lauren owns and operates Sex Ed for You.

In this vulnerable and raw episode of The Partnership Podcast, Trey shares his experience with a recent panic attack . While traveling home from New York City, Trey experienced a sudden, debilitating panic attack in the middle of a crowded Amtrak station.Up until recently, Trey had only ever experienced a panic attack once in his life. Now, having navigated two, he and Lauren deconstruct what a panic attack is, the physiological shutdown of the body, and how a partner can provide a safe container when everything feels like it's collapsing.Trey describes the terrifying sensation of a "standing fetal position" in a crowded train car. They discuss:How a simple moment of disorganized leadership triggered a "vortex of panic."Physical Manifestations of a panic attack: The sensation of falling in a dream, muffled hearing, narrowed focus, and the body's instinct to protect its vital organs.The "Rational Mind" Paradox: Why logic fails when the nervous system takes over, and why "snapping out of it" isn't an option.Lauren draws on her background in birth work to explain how to co-regulate a partner in crisis. She shares her observation of the event and her strategy for support:Providing Physical Safety FirstUsing breathwork to anchor a partner without being intrusive.Why she chose not to make the moment about her own needs or ask "What do you need?" when Trey had no capacity to answer.Trey gets honest about the shame hangover that follows a public breakdown. They explore:The heartbreaking similarity between Trey's experience and their friend Jay's experience, how the "protector" script makes men feel like failures when their bodies seek safety.Trey's honest reflection on intimacy the following morning: "Why would she want to have sex with me if she just had to take care of me?"The importance of Trey completing the cycle and how he regained his confidence through small winsIs your partnership equipped for the unforeseen moments of life?If you are navigating the complexities of mental health, nervous system regulation, or deconstructing the scripts of what a "strong" partner looks like, Lauren offers a trauma-informed, biopsychosocial approach to relational health.Request your free 15-minute consult at sexedforyou.com/freeconsult.About ThemLauren and Trey are partners living in Central Virginia, where Lauren owns and operates Sex Ed for You.

X: @GarrettInExile @ileaderssummit @americasrt1776 @NatashaSrdoc @JoelAnandUSA @supertalk @JTitMVirginia Join America's Roundtable radio co-hosts Natasha Srdoc and Joel Anand Samy with the Honorable Thomas Garrett, Jr., member of the Commonwealth of Virginia's House of Delegates and former US Congressman. Topics Highlighted: The impact of Virginia's gerrymandering on midterm elections. Currently, Virginia's Congressional balance includes 6 Democrats and 5 Republicans. If Democrats prevail on April 21's special election, the slim House Republican majority may very well collapse in November 2026. In fact, The Washington Post's Editorial Board (February 6, 2026) expressed serious concerns: "The self-styled democracy party isn't behaving democratically. Democrats in Richmond are trying to effectively disenfranchise millions of Virginians by redrawing congressional maps to give themselves 10 of the commonwealth's 11 House seats — giving Democrats control of 91 percent of House seats in a state where Republicans lost the last presidential election by just six points." How America's sanctuary cities and states place Americans in danger with soaring crime rates fueled by illegal immigrants. The U.S. Department of Homeland Security (DHS) stated that illegal immigrants were responsible for 75% of murders in Fairfax County so far in 2026. US - Israel strikes in Iran and the future of the Middle East and beyond. Red states versus blue states: Jobs, education, security and economic growth. Brief bio: When in Congress, Tom Garrett would be known to state: “I represent the fifth Congressional District of Virginia where the first representative elected to serving Congress was a man named James Madison who drafted the Constitution of the United States and where our third president Thomas Jefferson lived when he drafted the following words. We hold these truths to be self-evident that all men are created equal and endowed by their creator with certain inalienable rights and that among these are life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness.” Tom Garrett serves in the Virginia House of Delegates representing the great people of the 56th District. Delegate Tom Garrett earned his Bachelor's degree from the University of Richmond. After the University of Richmond, Tom Garrett became an artillery officer in the United States Army.

In this candid and high-energy episode of The Partnership Podcast, Lauren and Trey dive into a listener-requested topic: the "Slut Era." They explore how a season of recreational sex can actually serve as a vital foundation for long-term relational health, especially for those deconstructing from Purity Culture.Drawing on the work of David Schnarch (Intimacy and Desire), they tackle the provocative idea that "fucking" is a distinct and necessary biological and psychological experience that often gets lost in the "nurturing" context of marriage.Lauren and Trey reflect on their own seasons of recreational sex and what those experiences provided them. They discuss:- How casual sex allows you to discover your own preferences and "erotic imagination" without the weight of a partner's expectations.- Why "fucking for fucking's sake" can be a powerful tool for reclaiming bodily agency after years of religious indoctrination.- The danger of entering long-term partnership before you've established a solid, flexible self-identity.Following Schnarch's definitions, the duo explores the psychological difference between "nurturing" sex and "fucking." They discuss:- Why the person you love most can often be the hardest person to have raw, uninhibited sex with.- How maintaining your own sense of self-worth (and not relying on your spouse to validate it) is the key to maintaining erotic fire.- Why trying to be a "good" or "service-oriented" spouse often kills the very desire you're trying to cultivate.Lauren and Trey get real about the effort required to keep a sexual connection vibrant after years together. They share:- The importance of knowing what you actually like, versus what you think you should like.- Why a healthy level of individuation, staying two separate people, is required for true sexual chemistry.- How to move away from "transactional" sex and back into a space of playful, embodied exploration.Is your long-term partnership feeling more like a "roommate" situation?If you are ready to reclaim your erotic sovereignty and move past the scripts of "good spouse" behavior, Lauren offers a trauma-informed approach to sexual and relational growth.Request your free 15-minute consult at sexedforyou.com/freeconsult.About ThemLauren and Trey are partners living in Central Virginia, where Lauren owns and operates Sex Ed for You.

In this deeply personal and transparent episode of The Partnership Podcast, Lauren and Trey pull back the curtain on a recent challenging season to show exactly how the work of relationship repair actually functions in real-time.They break down a multi-day journey that started with a "shadow story", an internal narrative that felt like an "ugly" courtroom defense, and ended in what Trey describes as "next-level" intimacy that can only be forged through years of seeing each other's "ugly".Lauren and Trey share their essential daily practice: landing at the end of the day by asking for "highlights" and "booboos". Lauren recounts the moment she realized she was spinning in a "shadow story" that was causing her to internally distance and avoid touch.The episode details the tools used to navigate this "uncomfy" tension without falling into old patterns:Trey and Lauren explain why spontaneous amazing connection isn't actually spontaneous at all, it's built on a foundation of saying the scary, vulnerable things. They discuss how resolving this conflict restored the flow of communication, leading to a level of intimacy that Trey notes "one cannot get anywhere else in the world".Is your relationship stuck in shadow boxing?If you are ready to move past transactional arguments and into a space of true self-determination and informed decision-making, Lauren offers a trauma-informed, biopsychosocial approach to intimacy.Request your free 15-minute consult at sexedforyou.com/freeconsult.About ThemLauren and Trey are partners living in Central Virginia, where Lauren owns and operates Sex Ed for You.

In this raw and timely episode of The Partnership Podcast, Lauren and Trey move beyond their usual "how-they" dynamic to tackle a growing digital crisis: the "Manosphere." After watching the Louis Theroux documentary on Netflix, Trey requested a total redo of their original recording. Why? Because viewing this content through the lens of a 41-year-old man is one thing, but viewing it through the eyes of a 12-year-old boy is another entirely.Trey opens up about his initial reaction; dismissing influencers like Andrew Tate, Myron, and HS Ticky Tocky as "shock jocks" or a "farce" designed to sell trading platforms and casino codes. However, after Lauren challenged him to consider his 12-year-old brother and the youth basketball players he coaches, Trey's perspective shifted from professional skepticism to a protector mode fueled by anger.The couple deconstructs the Red Pill ideology, exposing it as a dangerous blend of "new" Purity Culture and financial exploitation. They discuss:As an Embodied Intimacy Coach, Lauren points out the wild nightmare of seeing religious indoctrination rebranded for a digital age. They explore the dangerous rhetoric of "claiming" women and the "shock value" tactics used to monetize misogyny. Lauren shares her alarm at the real-world danger this poses to female bodies and why it is vital for men like Trey to find their voice and speak up against it.While they reject the Manosphere's solutions, Lauren and Trey acknowledge the very real hunger for belonging that drives young men to these spaces.Is your value system being defined by an algorithm?Whether you are deconstructing your own religious past or trying to navigate these conversations with the teenagers in your life, Lauren offers a trauma-informed, relational approach to building a life of integrity.Request a free 15-minute consult or ask for resource recommendations at sexedforyou.com/freeconsult.About ThemLauren and Trey are partners living in Central Virginia, where Lauren owns and operates Sex Ed for You.

X: @Former_Soviet @ileaderssummit @americasrt1776 @NatashaSrdoc @JoelAnandUSA @supertalk @JTitMVirginia Join America's Roundtable radio co-hosts Natasha Srdoc and Joel Anand Samy with Vladimir Jaffe, an American entrepreneur and a proponent of freedom and capitalism based on the rule of law. Vladimir Jaffe is owner of Palace Imports and a board member of Israel Justice Organization. Vladimir Jaffe is a former Soviet citizen with a master's degree in chemical engineering. In the USSR, he was active in Jewish circles, dissident movements, and international media—at significant personal risk—and was interrogated at KGB headquarters in 1985. He emigrated to the United States in 1988 at the age of 29 and is now a successful American entrepreneur. Over the years, a new generation of Americans are favoring socialism with an awe of communism over capitalism. According to a published report: A recent Cato/YouGov survey conducted in March asked 2,000 American adults a range of questions about U.S. fiscal policy. The survey found that 62 percent of adults under age 30 expressed a favorable view of socialism, while just 38 percent held an unfavorable view. When asked, “Do you have a favorable or unfavorable view of Communism?”, 34 percent of respondents aged 18–29 answered “favorable,” with 66 percent answering “unfavorable.” Only 14 percent of total respondents held a favorable view of communism. Vladimir Jaffe is the owner of Palace Imports, a company specializing in solid wood furniture sourced from Africa, Europe, South America, and Mexico, sold online through retailers such as Macy's, Wayfair, Walmart, Bed Bath & Beyond and Overstock and others. Since becoming a U.S. citizen in 1993, Vladimir has remained politically active and is deeply involved in supporting Jewish organizations and initiatives. He is a board member of the Israel Justice Organization and a dedicated supporter of America's conservative movement and the vision articulated by President Donald Trump in advancing freedom and reforms based on the rule of law. Vladimir Jaffe has a YouTube site with over 75,000 subscribers. | https://www.youtube.com/@VladimirJaffe/videos americasrt.com https://ileaderssummit.org/ | https://jerusalemleaderssummit.com/ America's Roundtable on Apple Podcasts: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/americas-roundtable/id1518878472 X: @Former_Soviet @ileaderssummit @americasrt1776 @NatashaSrdoc @JoelAnandUSA @supertalk @JTitMVirginia America's Roundtable is co-hosted by Natasha Srdoc and Joel Anand Samy, co-founders of International Leaders Summit and the Jerusalem Leaders Summit.

In this episode of The Partnership Podcast, Lauren and Trey dive deep into the transformative power of The Wheel of Consent® following Trey's recent experience at the "Like a Pro" workshop. They move beyond the basics of "no means no" to explore the nuanced artistry of giving and receiving, and how understanding these four quadrants can dismantle years of sexual obligation and shadow dynamics.Fresh off his second workshop, Trey shares the profound shifts that occur when we separate who is doing from who it is for. They discuss the common struggle many face, especially those raised in restrictive environments, with the "Shadow of Service" and the "Shadow of Taking." Lauren reflects on how her own "Warrior Queen" energy and professional drive sometimes clash with the need for true receptivity, while Trey explores the vulnerability required to make a "True Request" without an agenda.The conversation gets raw as they explore how Purity Culture and incomplete sexual education plant "weeds" in our sexual gardens. They discuss:Integrating the work of David Schnarch, Lauren and Trey model what it looks like to stand in a Solid Flexible Self. They discuss the importance of staying in your own skin during intimacy, ensuring that pleasure is a restoration of agency rather than a performance. Trey shares how his growth in relational intelligence has shifted their dynamic from one of "keeping up" to one of genuine curiosity and "trustworthy touch."Lauren, as an Embodied Intimacy and Relationship Coach, emphasizes that better sex heals the world because it requires us to be fully present and accountable. They discuss the "Alphabet Rule" (Arousal before Desire) and why understanding Responsive Desire is key for partners who feel like they are "stumbling through" their physical connection.Whether you're a purity culture survivor or simply looking to deepen your connection, Lauren offers a trauma-informed, biopsychosocial approach to intimacy.

In this episode of The Partnership Podcast, Lauren and Trey delve into the complexities of sexual desire, the nuances of arousal non-concordance, and the power of radical accountability in relationship repair. Moving beyond the clinical definitions of High Desire Partners (HDP) and Low Desire Partners (LDP), they share personal stories; from bucket-list moments in an Amtrak bathroom to the restorative power of gentle, non-genital touch.Lauren, a Certified Holistic Sexuality Educator, breaks down a fundamental biological difference that often causes friction in partnerships: the order of arousal and desire. While many people with penises experience spontaneous desire (the sudden "want" for sex) most people with vulvas experience responsive desire, where physiological arousal must happen before the mental desire to pursue sex kicks in. Understanding this "A before D" sequence (Arousal before Desire) is a game-changer for couples navigating mismatched sex drives.Following their exploration of David Schnarch's Intimacy & Desire, the duo discusses how these roles are not fixed and often flip depending on the context, whether it's travel, professional ambition, or the need for spaciousness. They tackle the "lonely feeling" of the LDP and the importance of the HDP "wooing" rather than demanding. By standing in the Four Points of Balance, Lauren and Trey demonstrate how to maintain a Solid Flexible Self while negotiating intimacy.The conversation shifts to a vulnerable look at desire smuggling and brinksmanship. They explore how to make requests that are "true wants" rather than hidden agendas for sex. Trey shares his experience of providing "trustworthy touch"; exploring erogenous zones without the obligation of penetrative sex, and how that safety allowed Lauren's body to "come online" naturally.Is your relationship feeling like a "checklist item"?

"Our system is great for acute care, but chronic, complicated patients don't find the answers they need." -Dr. Aaron Hartman   Dr. Aaron Hartman is a renowned physician known for his expertise in functional medicine, inspired by his own family's health challenges. He is the founder of Richmond Integrative and Functional Medicine and the Virginia Research Center. Dr. Hartman currently serves as an assistant clinical professor at VCU School of Medicine and has been involved in over 70 clinical research studies. His book, "Uncurable," details his family's journey from medical diagnoses to overcoming the odds. Dr. Hartman is recognized as a leading authority on complex medical cases in Central Virginia.   Episode Summary: In this enlightening episode of "All My Health, There Is Hope," host Jana Short welcomes Dr. Aaron Hartman to dive into the depths of healthcare, functional medicine, and personal experiences of hope and transformation. Dr. Hartman shares his profound journey into functional medicine, driven by the experiences with his adopted daughter, who was diagnosed with cerebral palsy. Traditional medical practices provided limited hope, compelling Dr. Hartman and his family to seek alternative methods, ultimately leading to astounding breakthroughs in his daughter's health and his professional outlook. Throughout the conversation, they explore the intersection of conventional and functional medicine, revealing systemic gaps and the need for a more integrated healthcare approach. Dr. Hartman emphasizes the importance of not solely relying on prescribed treatments when faced with chronic illnesses but also seeking the root causes behind health issues. His book, "Uncurable," is discussed as a beacon of hope for those battling misdiagnoses and seeking comprehensive solutions in their health journeys. The episode serves as a stirring reminder of resilience, the importance of asking the right questions, and the potential for healing when conventional paths fall short.   Key Takeaways: Dr. Hartman's journey into functional medicine was inspired by his daughter's significant health challenges and gaps in traditional medical approaches. The health system may overlook complex cases, necessitating proactive personal health advocacy and exploration of functional and integrative solutions. Successful health outcomes often require perfecting the basics: real food, a clean environment, adequate sleep, stress reduction, and meaningful relationships. Comprehensive healthcare involves building a personalized health team focused on understanding and addressing individual needs and conditions.

In this episode, Lauren and Trey dive deep into the clinical and practical applications of David Schnarch's Intimacy & Desire. Moving beyond the bedroom, they explore how the concepts of the High Desire Partner (HDP) and Low Desire Partner (LDP) manifest in every corner of a partnership; from travel and hosting to professional ambition and the pace of daily life.While these terms are often used to describe sexual frequency, Lauren and Trey chop it up to see how these roles flip depending on the context. They explore how Trey often moderates the pace of adventure while Lauren pushes for the next big trip, and the inherent toll of being the HDP for community and hosting. They take a raw look at the intersection of urgency and spaciousness, examining how Trey's desire for a slower, more generative pace interacts with Lauren's high-capacity professional drive.Lauren and Trey tackle the "heavy burden" of being the Low Desire Partner in a sexual dynamic. Lauren deconstructs the cultural shame often directed at women who are HDPs, as well as the pressure felt by LDPs who feel they are keeping their partner from what they want. They explain why they don't actually have a sex problem despite their differing levels of desire, pointing instead to the importance of a Solid Flexible Self. By having a well-defined sense of self that doesn't depend on a partner's constant validation, they are able to use requests and offers in the "third domain" to negotiate intimacy without one person feeling controlled by the other.Coming off a season of repair, they share a vulnerable moment of "slam poetry" eroticism and the importance of receiving a partner's desire even when capacity is low. They model how to stand in the Four Points of Balance, ensuring that neither partner feels silenced or pressured. By understanding that the initial honeymoon phase is a temporary chemical state, they demonstrate how moving into a differentiated, long-term partnership requires intentional tools and a commitment to separate self-responsibility.Lauren offers embodied coaching to help you and your partner navigate these dynamics with clarity and grace.Request your free 15-minute consult at sexedforyou.com/freeconsult.About ThemLauren and Trey are partners living in Central Virginia, where Lauren owns and operates Sex Ed for You.
