In this thought-provoking episode of The Enriched Mindset Podcast, Dr. Tom Murray—nationally recognized sex therapist, educator, and author—joins Emilia Kasprzak and Olivia Tryburski to unpack the psychology behind sex, shame, identity, and emotional connection. From his journey as a student of education to becoming a leader in sex therapy and forensic mental health, Dr. Murray brings warmth, wisdom, and humour to the most vulnerable corners of human experience.

Together, they explore how cultural and religious narratives shape our sexual beliefs and why some identities can hold us back more than they help us grow. They discuss what students are not being taught about relationships and sexuality and reveal the surprising link between sex and money in therapy. Dr. Murray explains how humour and embracing one’s “weirdness” can be powerful tools for healing. He also offers practical advice for students and those interested in pursuing a career in sex therapy.

Dr. Murray gives listeners a behind-the-scenes look at his books Making Nice with Naughty and the upcoming Sex and Money, sharing what he believes is the next frontier in relational and financial psychology.
