Secrets to Better Sex for Seniors
Judging from the popularity of some recent reels I’ve posted, the topic of senior sex is of great interest to a lot of people. Recently Judy and I were guests on Suzanne Noble’s podcast, Sex Advice for Seniors, and I thought it would be interesting to our listeners to share some insights Suzanne has written about. So we’ve based this episode on an article you can get from Suzanne called “The Ten Most Overlooked Secrets to Better Sex After 50.” You can get your copy by signing up for Suzanne’s newsletter at https://www.sexadviceforseniors.com/. Thanks, Suzanne! We also give some shoutouts (shouts out?) to Susan Bratton (https://susanbratton.com/) and Artemisia de Vine (https://www.devinerymethod.com/about). Of course, a lot of what we talk about in this episode is useful for people at any age, not just seniors. Let us know if you find it helpful!

Once a Cheater, Always a Cheater? Not Necessarily! An Interview with Becky Aste
Our guest in this episode, Becky Aste, is a relationship coach, and when she talks about the possibility of healing a marriage in which there’s been infidelity, she knows whereof she speaks. The idea that once someone has cheated you can never build trust again—which I often see expressed bluntly as comments on reels I post—is not true! We’re not saying it’s always possible to restore trust, but it often is possible, Becky describes how she discovered the importance of somatic awareness, being physically present in your body, as a vital part of healing from betrayal.

Repairing Fractured Families: An Interview with Noah Dyer
According to Karl Pillemer’s research (Karl was a guest on our podcast in 2020—you can find our interview with Karl here), in recent years about a quarter of Americans are involved in some kind of family estrangement at any given time. And this trend is supported by a growing infrastructure of influencers who urge people to cut off contact with family members as a good way to solve relationship problems. Our guest in this episode is Noah Dyer. Noah’s son shocked him one day by suddenly cutting him off—no contact—a painful situation that lasted seven years. When he was finally able to reconcile with his son, Noah reflected on his experience and developed a framework, a set of principles that can help families heal rifts and grow stronger together Noah’s website is https://noahdyer.com/.

How Can You Justify Cheating?
I’ve posted a bunch of reels and podcast clips about helping couples recover from infidelity. And among the comments on those postings, there’s a common theme: How can you imply that the person who was betrayed is somehow to blame for the cheater’s behavior? I recognize that it’s a very fine line between justifying immoral behavior—which I don’t want to do—and examining the context in which it occurred—which I think is vital to healing. Judy and I talk about this issue. Let us know what you think! Have you been cheated on, and have you been able to heal from it? Have you been a cheater? -------------------------- Free resources are available at https://brucechalmer.com. Do you have ideas for topics or guests for our podcast?

Nonviolent Communication (NVC) is a way of communicating originally developed by Marshal Rosenberg.
