Why is it so hard for couples to talk about sex and intimacy—even after years together?

In this powerful episode of Conversations for Couples, Julie and David Bullitt sit down with licensed therapist and intimacy expert Steph Flood to talk all things sex, shame, vulnerability, and communication in long-term relationships.

Steph has worked with over 1,000 couples, helping them reignite their intimacy and navigate issues like mismatched libidos, infidelity, low sex drive, and that all-too-common post-kid disconnect. She brings honesty, humor, and professional insight into one of the most vulnerable topics couples face.
