  Highly Sexual Women, Erotic Abandonment & Feeling Desired | ft. Courtney Faye Long

  Aug 18, 202642 min

  Send us Fan Mail One-third of women have a higher sex drive than the average man — so why does no one talk about it? In this episode of Between the Sheets with Dr. Z , Dr. Stephanie Zwonitzer, DNP talks with Courtney Faye Long, an intimacy expert and sexuality educator with nearly 30 years of experience, about highly sexual women, the shame that keeps them silent, and what she calls "erotic abandonment" — the ache of wanting more intimacy than you're getting. What you'll learn in this episode: Why the "men always want it more" narrative is a myth — and why so many high-desire women hide it The 8 types of erotic abandonment, including desire gaps, rushed warm-ups, mechanical sex, and unseen hunger Why women's bodies often need 20–45 minutes of arousal time — and why that's physiological, not just emotional How to navigate mismatched finish times in a relationship without shame or resentment on either side The subconscious roots of sexual shame, and how hypnotherapy can help clear it A simple daily "pleasure practice" to help women reconnect with their bodies and desires The physiology of feeling wanted: how desire itself increases blood flow, lubrication, nitric oxide, and vaginal tenting Why asking your partner "what makes you feel desired?" changes everything The role of exercise (cardio and resistance training) in boosting arousal through nitric oxide If you've ever felt "too much" for wanting more intimacy, this episode is your permission slip. ️ Guest: Courtney Faye Long, intimacy expert, sexuality educator & hypnotherapist Website: CourtneyFayeLong.com (free quiz + complimentary sex life makeover session) Work with Dr. Stephanie www.reviveish.com info@reviveish.com Connect with Between the Sheets: IG: @ReviveISH Email: podcastbetweenthesheets@gmail.com #podmatch Want to be a guest on Between the Sheets: Exploring Sexual Health & Wellness?

  The Birth Control Illusion: What Hormonal Contraception Does to Your Body | Tierra Duncan

  Aug 11, 202638 min

  Send us Fan Mail Most of us went on birth control at 16 or 17 and never thought about it again. But what if it's been quietly affecting your mood, libido, bone density, and more — for decades — and no one told you? In this episode of Between the Sheets with Dr. Z , Dr. Stephanie Zwonitzer, DNP talks with Tierra Duncan, author of The Birth Control Illusion: Reclaiming Hormones, Health and Your Cycle , about the gaps in women's health education around hormonal contraception — and what informed consent should actually look like. What you'll learn in this episode: Why estrogen, progesterone, and testosterone are "whole body" hormones, not just reproductive ones How synthetic hormones in birth control differ from your body's natural hormones — and why that matters The real link between birth control and mood disorders, low libido, vaginal dryness, and bone density loss Why the "period" you have on the pill isn't a real period (and the surprising marketing history behind it) How birth control is often prescribed for symptoms (acne, cramps, heavy periods) instead of addressing root causes Non-hormonal alternatives, including the fertility awareness method and copper IUD trade-offs Why postpartum birth control decisions deserve more caution and conversation How tracking your cycle can help you understand your energy, mood, and body better — without falling into rigid "cycle syncing" rules Why sleep, stress, and nutrition play a bigger role in hormone health than most people realize This is the conversation so many women wish they'd had before they ever started birth control — and one worth having now, no matter your age or stage. ️ Guest: Tierra Duncan, author, educator, and women's health advocate Book: The Birth Control Illusion (Amazon, Audible, Kindle, Barnes & Noble) | YouTube & Instagram: @tierraduncanauthor | Website: tierraduncan.com Work with Dr. Stephanie www.reviveish.com info@reviveish.com Connect with Between the Sheets: IG: @ReviveISH Email: podcastbetweenthesheets@gmail.com #podmatch Want to be a guest on Between the Sheets: Exploring Sexual Health & Wellness?

  Somatic Sex Ed: Reconnecting With Your Body, Consent & Pleasure | ft. Sara Perry

  Aug 4, 202646 min

  Send us Fan Mail What if the key to better sex, real consent, and healing from trauma isn't in your head — it's in your body? In this episode of Between the Sheets with Dr. Z , Dr. Stephanie Zwonitzer, DNP talks with Sara Perry, a somatic sex educator and sexological body worker (and owner of Haven Space Coaching), about what it actually means to reconnect with sensation, desire, and pleasure — and why so much of our sex education leaves this out entirely. What you'll learn in this episode: What "somatic" really means, and why healing happens through the body, not just the mind Why teaching consent without teaching self-awareness leaves people unable to identify what they actually want The "spectrum of response" — how yes, no, and maybe have far more nuance than we're taught Why safe words often go unused, and better ways to communicate "slow down" or "let's shift" in the moment Why being told "no" by a partner is actually a sign of trust and safety, not rejection How the body can respond sexually even during non-consensual or traumatic experiences — and why that doesn't mean anything about the person What sexological body work is, how it differs from pelvic floor therapy, and who it can help (including scar tissue, discordant ejaculation, and reconnecting with a body that's changed after illness or surgery) A simple at-home somatic exercise anyone can try today This is a conversation about slowing down, tuning in, and giving yourself permission to feel — exactly as you are, in this moment. ️ Guest: Sara Perry, somatic sex educator & sexological body worker, Haven Space Coaching Website: havenspacecoaching.com | TikTok & Instagram: @havenspacecoaching Work with Dr. Stephanie www.reviveish.com info@reviveish.com Connect with Between the Sheets: IG: @ReviveISH Email: podcastbetweenthesheets@gmail.com #podmatch Want to be a guest on Between the Sheets: Exploring Sexual Health & Wellness?

  Why Your Hormones Aren't the Whole Story: Mitochondria, Chronic Fatigue & Sexual Dysfunction | ft. Dr. Jess Armine

  Jul 28, 202644 min

  Send us Fan Mail What if your low libido, ED, or fatigue isn't a hormone problem — it's a cellular energy problem? In this episode of Between the Sheets with Dr. Z , Dr. Stephanie Zwonitzer, DNP talks with Dr. Jess Armine, a functional medicine practitioner with nearly 50 years of clinical experience specializing in long COVID, post-viral syndromes, and complex chronic illness. Dr. Armine breaks down why so many patients "do everything right" — fix their hormones, follow the protocol — and still don't feel better, and what's actually happening underneath at the cellular level. What you'll learn in this episode: Why mitochondria (your body's energy factories) drive far more than energy — including sexual function The "cell danger response": how toxins, infections, and even emotional trauma can all trigger the same cellular dysfunction Why sexual arousal requires high energy output and a calm nervous system — and what happens when your body doesn't have either Why hormone replacement alone sometimes "stops working" over time if root causes aren't addressed The connection between long COVID, chronic fatigue, and sexual dysfunction in both men and women Simple, practical steps for supporting cellular health: liposomal vitamins, gut health, digestive enzymes, and more Why treating the whole picture (hormones + nervous system + immune system + cellular energy) gets better results than treating one lab value in isolation If you've been doing "everything right" and still don't feel like yourself, this episode explains what might actually be missing. ️ Guest: Dr. Jess Armine, functional medicine practitioner Website: DrJessOnline.com | YouTube: @DrJessOnline | Instagram: @DrJesseOnline724 Work with Dr. Stephanie www.reviveish.com info@reviveish.com Connect with Between the Sheets: IG: @ReviveISH Email: podcastbetweenthesheets@gmail.com #podmatch Want to be a guest on Between the Sheets: Exploring Sexual Health & Wellness?

  From Infidelity to Intimacy Coach: Breaking Sexual Shame & Speaking Your Desires | Jocelyn Silva

  Jul 21, 202639 min

  Send us Fan Mail What if the biggest thing standing between you and great sex isn't chemistry — it's honesty? In this episode of Between the Sheets with Dr. Z , Dr. Stephanie Zwonitzer, DNP sits down with Jocelyn Silva, a sexual empowerment and intimacy coach whose work centers on what she calls "relentless authenticity." After surviving the fallout of her own infidelity and rebuilding her life through SLAA (Sex and Love Addicts Anonymous) recovery, Jocelyn has spent over 15 years helping thousands of people release sexual shame, rediscover desire, and build relationships grounded in truth. What you'll learn in this episode: Why intimacy cannot exist without authenticity — and how to tell if you're holding back How growing up in a shame-based household shapes adult sexuality, and how to unlearn it The real reason couples avoid talking about sex (hint: it's not lack of desire) Jocelyn's "playground" framework for setting clear boundaries so sex feels safe, not stressful Why you should be having "state of the union" conversations about your sex life every 6–12 months How aging, health changes, and life stages (kids, illness, caregiving) constantly reshape intimacy — and why the conversation is never "one and done" A simple way to give and receive feedback about sex without shame or hurt feelings This conversation is a masterclass in communication — for anyone who's ever avoided a hard conversation with their partner because it felt easier not to have it. ️ Guest: Jocelyn Silva, sexual empowerment & intimacy coach Instagram: @iamjocelynsilva | Website: jocelynsilva.com Work with Dr. Stephanie www.reviveish.com info@reviveish.com Connect with Between the Sheets: IG: @ReviveISH Email: podcastbetweenthesheets@gmail.com #podmatch Want to be a guest on Between the Sheets: Exploring Sexual Health & Wellness?
