When you're running on empty, sex feels like just another demand on your already depleted system. But burnout isn't just affecting your work life—it's killing your desire and disconnecting you from your partner.
Dr. Amy Grimm, veterinarian and certified burnout coach, joins me to explore how chronic stress impacts intimacy. We discuss what both high and low desire partners need to know, including:
- Why burnout is a nervous system problem, not just a work problem
- How to tell if you're burned out vs. depressed
- Why sex becomes performative when you're disconnected from yourself
- The micro-moment practices that actually restore your nervous system (no hour-long meditations required)
- How to reconnect with your body so you can reconnect with your partner
If you suspect burnout is affecting your relationship or libido, this conversation will help you understand what's really happening—and give you simple tools to start healing.
