Stop Being Nice, with Arica Angelo

Arica Angelo has spent 18 years teaching men what their partners are too nice to say out loud. In this episode, she tells Dawn what she tells all of them: most women are lying to the people they love most, and it starts with lying to themselves. Arica was a youth pastor at 18. Now she's an intimacy coach with a quarter million YouTube subscribers, and she says the two callings aren't as far apart as they sound. Sex, to her, is sacred. So why does it only get talked about in the dark? This conversation goes places most talks about intimacy don't. Dawn and Arica get into the church story that still makes her laugh, the Italian phrase that marks the point a man gives up on a relationship, and the wedding-day comment from a friend's husband that ended a four-year relationship.
