Caroline Russell Smith is a sex therapist, and in this episode, she reassuringly shares the things that people can do to have the best sex of their lives. She offers so much more than just paths to a healthier, more fulfilling sex life, though. I see Caroline as a healer and someone who can help especially those in midlife upgrade their lives.

In this conversation (which covers sex and includes some profanity, just in case you listen in the car with kids or at work), you’ll learn about:

The importance of learning new things in middle age – and the new sport Caroline has fallen in love with

Her journey through high school sex education and working with both sex offenders and survivors of sexual violence

Advice on how people in their 50s can tackle three problems common to this cohort: searching for meaning, facing malaise, and evolving our sex lives as our bodies age

The Amherst classmate she wants me to talk to next
