I'm Lesley Logan, Pilates instructor and fitness business coach. I've trained thousands of people around the world and the number one thing I see stopping people from achieving anything is self-doubt. My friends, action brings clarity and it's the antidote to fear. Each week, my guest will bring bold, executable, intrinsic and targeted steps that you can use to put yourself first and Be It Till You See It. It's a practice, not a perfect. Let's get started.Lesley Logan 0:55  Hi, Be It babe, wow, we are really into January, we're so close into January. That's almost my birthday. That's how into January we are in. This is your weekly reminder to celebrate the wins that you are having in your life, even if things aren't finished, those are the best wins. So what we do here is when you do fuck yeah it's Friday, and we celebrate someone wins of yours and a win of mine, and hopefully that inspires you to count the wins that you have and maybe you do this every single day. I hope so what a great way to end the day. Lesley Logan 1:27  All right, so here we go. The first win this happened in December, and so Laurie Watson says oh, I have a cool win. I have been using the Calm app for many years but have been on a streak now for 1007 days. I'm gonna say one thing. Laurie Watson she is an Agency member, OPC member, she's been in eLevate. I've known her for years and I she's just one of the coolest people I know. She's like I have been doing the Calm app for many years but I'm in a streak now for 1007 days. And she, you guys it's around 50 days to go to make it three year straight of doing the daily Calm. What an epic win. And by the way, she celebrates her Calm streak all the time. So it's not like she's waiting until she has 1007 days. And I share that because it's so, so important that we celebrate the things we did do. Lesley Logan 2:29  Another win, this one is from an Agency member Tanya Sora. LL, my wins of this year have been my colleague working in the studio, the last year a great person, fabulous teacher. Another win is that she found Agency first time back in April following Lesley's webinar, Raising Rates Without Losing Clients. And her third win is being more myself. Ah Tanya, what a win to celebrate. Being more yourself is huge. I mean of course, I love that one of your wins is finding Agency back in April of last year and being an Agency member now we love, love, love supporting you. But the fact that you are celebrating that you are more yourself just brings me so much joy like being until you see it, way to go. And also that you've had a great person working with you for the last year. Congratulations. I love these wins.Lesley Logan 3:18  Okay, my win. I've got a few for you. I have a few for you. So one of those is we are two weeks away from kicking off eLevate Round Four and if you told me in 2022 that I would have a fourth round by now I would have been like, haha, so I'm just celebrating the fact that we're kicking that off in two weeks and I'm also celebrating the people who have signed up for it. I'm so I'm so blessed and honored to be able to work with them. I'm just truly grateful that they trust the process that I've created in ditching perfection when it comes to your teaching. I'm just day's made, my year is made really. So two weeks away from that and we are a week for my birthday which of course I will self-create that on my birthday stay tuned for that Fuck Yeah, Friday because it's my birthday is on Friday. So fuck yeah. Lesley Logan 4:07  But also, to celebrate this other win that I had. I, many years ago when we released well, it's over 10 years ago I released my book Profitable Pilates: Everything But the Exercises. And then in 2000 and, what is today, it's the 24th, so 2022 we re-released it on its ninth year anniversary re-released it, edited, read on the cover, like bunch of links added it was just updated a bit. It's still amazing actually, like I didn't have to edit a lot. There's just some things that were slightly outdated as far as like some technology goes, but I'm just really, really proud of what that book's standing power staying power is but I wasn't doing it on Kindle. And I wasn't doing it on an audio version of it. One because back when they asked me many years ago, I was like I hate my voice. But the other day, Brad and I, I feel like we're like going to the airport, I'm not really sure what's happening. And he's just like, hey, I really want us to revisit a Kindle version of your book and an audio version of that. Yep, we can do those things. And so yeah, we're doing those things. So, this year, I'm making it a priority to get the Profitable Pilates: Everything But the Exercises book on Kindle. And I am making it a priority to get to read my own book. Oh, my God. I mean, if you've heard the interview, recaps, where I like screw up the intros all the time. I'm going to give myself a lot of grace and space to make this book happen. But I'm, it's a, it's a goal. And so I hope to get that done probably in Q2, once the Barrels Deck is out there, but these are, I'm celebrating these wins. Again, they're not done yet. But I'm celebrating the win that I am making the decision that I'm going to do them, and I'm not getting my own way around it. And so Fuck Yeah, it's Friday. And we're in a new year. And it's not a new year, because that's bullshit. You'd see the same awesome you, but with new ideas, new information about how you can do things in a better way and being it till you see it. Lesley Logan 6:15  So thanks so much for listening to this podcast. Thank you for sharing it with your friends.

In last month's episode, we discussed many of the physical, psychological and social factors that can contribute to sexual desire discrepancy in couples. This month, we are taking a deep dive in to the role of emotional intimacy, attachment styles and relational dynamics on desire. Joining us is expert Dr. Laurie Watson, sex therapist, author, and co-host of the popular Foreplay Radio podcast.

What popular media has taught us The media and stereotypical culture norms show that men are the ones usually sexually pursuing while the women are seducing and being pursued. Our culture is saturated with these tropes and themes: think James Bond, Indiana Jones, or many other shows that show this theme. But what happens if you're in a marriage where you, as the wife, find yourself often pursuing him? And he's the one withdrawing, needing to be wooed? Or you're the one with more acceptance and freedom about your sexuality, eager to explore and pursue novelty and sexual fun while he's not so sure about his sexuality or has a lot of hangups? Is it because you're not attractive enough? It's common for women in these marriages to feel like they must not be attractive enough. You might have gone through a lot of effort to look and dress pretty (or undress) for the occasion and his rejection can really hurt. It's disregulating to feel rejected, and you wonder what's wrong with you. It's easy to get reactive in these situations, and start a downward spiral. You may even be wondering what you can do to get him interested in you sexually, or wonder why he withdraws, encouraging you to pursue even more. Let's ask a therapist AND higher desire wife My guest today is Dr. Laurie Watson. She's a sex therapist and marriage therapist and also a married woman who is the one with more sexual desire and the pursuer in her own marriage. I figured she's uniquely qualified to answer questions I've had about higher desire wives. I've found this conversation enlightening and refreshing. Laurie even gives very specific step-by-step suggestions on how to approach the subject with your spouse and how to build a better sexual relationship.

Ever felt stuck in a toxic cycle of pursuit and withdrawal with your partner, leaving you feeling unheard, unwanted, or disconnected? This stirring conversation with esteemed sex therapist and licensed marriage & family therapist, Dr Laurie Watson will offer a refreshing perspective and actionable advice to help you navigate these rough patches. We unpack this complex dynamic that many relationships fall prey to, and discuss how it impacts both emotional and sexual connection. We uncover how this pattern, often present in both romantic and sexual relationships, can lead to feelings of embarrassment, vulnerability, and shame. Our exploration into this cycle illuminates how it can affect women desiring more emotional connection while their partner tends to withdraw, leading to a disconnect that often seeps into their sexual relationship. We also shed light on the triggers that initiate this cycle and the profound impact it has on couples, making it difficult to identify and break.However, it's not all doom and gloom. Dr Laurie shares strategies to improve communication and connection, offering a beacon of hope. We look at how understanding our own survival mechanisms can affect our partners and potentially perpetuate the cycle. We also explore how to manage fears of sexual dysfunction and ways to foster flexibility in a sexual relationship. Finally, we emphasize the shared responsibility of both the pursuer and the withdrawer in breaking this cycle and fostering a healthier relationship. Trust us, you won't want to miss this enlightening conversation with Dr Laurie Watson. Let's dive in!Today's Guest: Dr. Laurie WatsonLaurie Watson, Phd, MA, LMFT, LCMHC, AASECT Certified Sex Therapist & Supervisor in Training, Co-Host of FOREPLAY Radio Couples & Sex Therapy Podcast, LMFT, Author, Director of Awakenings Counseling, Training in EFT - Emotionally Focused Therapy (Externship and Core Skills; Completing Supervision).She's the co-host together with global leader in couple's therapy, George Faller, LMFT, of the popular podcast – FOREPLAY RADIO – Couples and Sex Therapy which is ranked in the top 10 sexuality podcasts in Sexuality. Laurie says, "Sex is one of the greatest adventures in a relationship. It makes us feel alive. It connects our minds, bodies and hearts. In fact, sexual and emotional intimacy are intertwined; we need both to be happy. With too little eroticism - our relationship is dull and with too little emotional connection - sex is mechanical. Most of us don't know how to find this balance. And talking about our sexual needs is so risky. We might cause a conflict; we might be judged; we might not even know what our needs are.

Sex is where so many couples' abilities to communicate, be vulnerable, be expressive, and navigate each other's needs gets tested. Now, this can be a great thing—it can also be where things fall apart. This week, I sat down with Dr. Laurie Watson to get her insight on some of the bigger challenges men and couples face sexually: sexless marriages, expressing your desires effectively, and the straight-up differences in how men and women approach sex.

Warning: This is a Sex talk for Adults In this episode, we Interviewed Dr. Laurie Watson Ph.D., MA, LMFT, LCMHC, Director of Awakenings, and certified sex therapist. Dr. Watson has thirty years of experience working with couples and individuals about love and sex. She's the host of the popular podcast, FOREPLAY RADIO—Couples and Sex Therapy ranked in the top 10 in iTunes under Sexuality. Laurie authored her first book Wanting Sex Again—How to Rediscover Desire and Heal a Sexless Marriage (Penguin) in December 2012. Excellent Points • Everybody, at some point, struggles with sexual problems. • The mindset that sex is supposed to happen naturally is a massive block to talking about sex or being able to fully experience the joy of marriage. • Talking about sex does not ruin the mood. • We need to be sensitive to how we are using sexual desire, because the other person may want to feel desirable • While we want to talk about the mechanics of sex or hearts matter as well. Laurie Watson
