We are here to destigmatize all things mental health, from s*xual wellness to anxiety to relationships & more. Created by Ilana Grines, LMFT

What happens when your partner discovers the conversations you've been having with AI?

I spoke with Angela Haupt at TIME about a new question emerging in relationships: where does personal privacy end and relational secrecy begin?

We're increasingly using AI to process arguments, explore desires, and make sense of our partners, often without ever discussing what that means for the relationship.

The technology is moving faster than the conversations couples are having about it.

I'm curious: Would you consider your partner's AI conversations private?

Birthday week, but make it peaceful. 🧘‍♀️✨

My sister surprised me with an hour at the Reset Room in West Hollywood, and it was exactly the kind of pause I didn’t know I needed. A suspended pod, calming sounds, hot tea, massage chairs, and a little time to disconnect from everything.

Not sponsored—just a really cool, mental-health-focused experience that felt worth sharing. My sister could barely make it through 30 minutes of silence, while I absolutely loved it. Doing things that allow us to hear our own thoughts—or help us quiet them—is something I will always advocate for more of.

Shoutout to my sister for this very Ilana-coded birthday activity, and to The Reset Room for creating a space for those of us who could use a little more mindfulness. 🤍

Ever find yourself asking, ‘Sexually, am I normal?’ You’re not alone. Dive into a conversation (the first of many) with Dr. Marty Klein and Ilana Grines about embracing authentic s*xuality and letting go of comparisons.
What are some topics you want to hear these two to chat about ? *xtherapist

One of the most painful things that can happen in a relationship is when a change in s*xual desire becomes a story about how much someone loves you.

What starts as a difference in experience can quickly become a cycle of rejection, pressure, guilt, and resentment.

And sometimes, the meaning couples assign to the difference becomes harder to navigate than the difference itself.

I recently shared a Reel about being an incredible partner and still being a difficult s*xual match.
The response was interesting. People texted me, sent DMs, and answered the poll, but many didn't engage with the Reel publicly.
It reminded me how reluctant we still are to talk openly about s*xual difficulties, despite how many couples are navigating them.
One of the most important shifts couples can make is recognizing that s*xual differences aren't necessarily a reflection of how deeply they love each other.
Different desires, needs, and expectations don't automatically mean something is wrong with either partner or the relationship.
But these differences do require attention, understanding, and ongoing negotiation as relationships evolve.
And when couples don't know how to navigate them, they can end up carrying a tremendous amount of loneliness, rejection, and uncertainty in silence.
Sometimes the relationship looks perfectly happy from the outside, while two people are privately struggling to understand why something that once felt natural has become so difficult.

You can love someone, have a healthy relationship, and still struggle with s*xual compatibility.

Different levels of desire do NOT automatically mean someone is needy, withholding, or doing something wrong.

Sexual compatibility evolves as our bodies, circumstances, and relationships change.

September was a big month for taking the conversations I care about beyond the therapy room.
I had the opportunity to contribute to AARP, HuffPost, Mashable, Yahoo, and Everyday Health, and to write for Mass Appeal Magazine.
We talked about separate bedrooms and intimacy, better s*x after 40, what actually counts as cheating, conflict between friends, s*xual health across the lifespan, and how imagining change can help us begin practicing it.
Six very different stories, connected by the work I care most about: helping people better understand themselves, their relationships, and their s*xuality.
Grateful to the writers who continue to make room for these conversations.
And if you’re a journalist working on a story about relationships, s*x, intimacy, or mental health, my inbox is always open.

Plot twist: it might not be about religion at all. 👀

A few days ago I heard a reminder I needed:
The version of us trying to get everything right deserved more compassion not a better system.
The forgotten details, dropped balls, and imperfect moments often matter far less than we think.
What matters is how we show up: with presence, warmth, and enough self-compassion to enjoy the life we’re working so hard to build.
You don’t have to do it perfectly for it to count. Thank you to Lori Gottlieb & Zibby Owens for this memorable event and reminder.
