How We Get Thru Podcast: Mental Health Tips for Holistic Healing

As we approach the year's end, I've been reflecting on the incredible journey we've had together in this past year—launching the How We Get Thru app, delving into meaningful conversations on this podcast, and my own personal growth that has left me eager for more. I'm so excited to continue to experience healing together with you, our fantastic community and the driving force behind my motivation to keep showing up.
As we wrap up Season 1, this episode marks a temporary break until we return in February for an exciting Season 2. Get ready for engaging discussions with therapists and other healing professionals connected to the therapy world.
We also will be re-releasing our initial episodes into one episode so it will be easier to share and to listen to.
And for our grand season finale, we're diving into a spicy topic! Join us as we explore how to elevate your intimate life from vanilla to mint chocolate chip with all the sundae fixings. Our guest, Lauren Gibson, a couples sex therapist based in Austin, will guide us through understanding the significance of pleasure and connection in relationships.
We'll discuss how societal pressures can distort our views on sex and navigate the concept of communicating with your partner about a personalized "sex menu."
