Today's show is a little bit different as I share a recent interview that my wife, Amy, did with Neil Matthews on the Other People's Shoes podcast.

We have officially entered the month of February. Of course, that means Valentine's Day is coming up soon and this seems like the one time a year we talk about sex, love, relationships.
