Irene Fehr, Sex & Intimacy Coach, MA, CCPC, helps women overcome the “I must be broken sexually” syndrome by exposing the oh-so-common societal myths about women’s libido that lead to self-criticism, shame, and body hate.


We discuss:

  • How society makes women feel broken sexually — and kills their libido (and what women need to know to find their spark)
  • How do stress and anxiety impact our sex drive?
  • The four myths that women are led to believe about their libidos
