If you're like many ambitious women, you have big visions and deep desires for every area of your life. But if your RELATIONSHIP vision seems elusive, if you find yourself feeling frustrated, disappointed, and wondering “Is it me? Is it you? Or are we just not great together?” you’re not alone.
But here’s the good news: You are not the problem, your partner is not the problem, and you CAN have the relationship you envision! Creating the love and sex you want simply requires a new mindset and practicing a few key skills and habits. Welcome to Sex. Love. Power. This is the only intimacy podcast exclusively for powerful women and those who love them.
I'm your host Michele Lisenbury Christensen. I've been helping high-profile couples create what they desire in love and sex for more than twenty-three years, and I’ve been through my share of joys and pains in my own twenty-plus year marriage to Kurt. Now, I’m here to help you get more peace, more connection, and more passion in your days and nights, so you’ve got the energy and attention left over to be the change you wish to see in the wider world. Everything you want in love and sex starts with YOU, and it starts right now.
In this episode we’ll talk about
- How Driving and Receiving are two sides of the same coin... We can only do so much “making it happen” without a commensurate capacity to “let it in.”
- Why “masculine” traits and “feminine” traits are a fallacy, even though there’s plenty of evidence for them, and what’s more true than that kind of gender essentialism
- The twelve precise capacities every human possesses and needs to master to be fully powerful in love and elsewhere in life
If the conversations on this podcast are resonating for you and you want to create the love, sex, and aliveness you desire with more ease, I invite you to enter a deeper relationship with me, through private coaching or my group mentorship program. Either way, you get powerful tools, conversation cheat sheets, meditations, and my loving and skillful attention every month, so your capacity for the pleasure and joy you want grows, continuously.

Safe surrender. Asking him to lead. Erotic transcendence.
So many women tell me, "I wish he would just take charge in the bedroom." As you listen to this episode, you'll hear about:
- How sexual trauma can contribute to a "I don't know what I want - don't ask me!" freeze response
- The transcendent potential of erotic surrender - the magic that can happen for both partners when one takes charge in bed
- How to ask your partner (of any gender) for this kind of leadership
- How busy brains can stop us from getting present for sex, and how surrender can help
And more. Join the conversation by listening, then share your story or response on our our private community at https://society.lisenbury.com. Get full show notes, transcript, and more information at http://lisenbury.com/episode/004.
