Most people give up too easily and the people around you, the Reddit threads venting, the "this is just normal" advice from doctors and therapists, are actually reinforcing the belief that you're stuck (when you are not!). In this episode, I break down why so much performance anxiety, ED, PE, and delayed ejaculation comes down to one thing: a lack of self-trust.

I share the moment climbing Mount Shasta that taught me what trust actually means, how I let go of "I'm an anxious person" as an identity, and why the language you use with yourself is either working for you or against you. You'll hear real client stories, plus the mindset shift that changes everything: you trained yourself into anxiety, which means you can train yourself into trust.

If you're tired of being in your head, outsourcing your power, and letting the "What-if" thoughts control your sex life, this one's for you!

To make changes for yourself and your relationship, it requires acting before you're "ready" so you can build trust in yourself and learn that no matter what happens, you will adapt and be more than ok.

If you don't trust yourself in your relationship it looks like:

• You not addressing 'elephants in the room' with her and waiting for her to that discussion.
• You asking for her permission, 'letting her' plan things or 'reading her' instead of talking to her directly.
• You waiting for sex to happen or guessing instead of understanding exactly what leads to it happening.

She will not trust you unless you fully trust yourself first. If she cannot trust you, she cannot connect with you. If she cannot connect with you, she will not want to have sex with you.

When you're ready to own that your relationship and sex life is not in a good place and realize there is work to do that you're no longer willing to put to the side- apply for a Sex Audit.

When you need sex (or other external things) because it's the only way you can feel a certain way (love, connection, masculinity, feeling seen, appreciation, etc.), you lose trust in yourself and you lose options. Relying on yourself provides you a sense of freedom and ease in your body and in your relationship with your partner. That ease and those options allow you to practice other ways to feel what you want to feel and this is where you build confidence and also more attraction within yourself and your relationship.

Something I want to add that I didn't mention in this episode when I shared my boyfriend's take on this, is how it impacts me as his partner. I feel his ease and his want for sex over his pressure and need for sex. It makes our sex life be something we do to add to our love and connection, not the only source.

Do you have a specific situation in your relationship you want to be coached on so you have specific actions for moving forward? Whether it's around your delayed ejaculation, ED, premature ejaculation, sex skills, mindset or a situation with your woman where you feel stuck...
