Sex therapist Emily Nagoski didn’t set out to be a stress specialist. But it turns out, stress is affecting peoples’ sex lives, big time. After helping her sister Amelia through two life-threatening burnout episodes, the two got together to write a book about the science of burnout. For them, the journey to understanding their own stress became a deeper quest for sisterhood and meaning. Emily talks about:

• Completing the stress cycle
• The problem with self-care
• Connections between stress, sleep, and orgasm
• Why “just stress” can lead to something bigger
