Ep. 205 - Not Broken, Just Disconnected: Rediscovering Intimacy & Sex
In today’s solo episode 205, you're invited into an honest and tender conversation about one of the most common—and quietly painful—experiences in long-term relationships: the slow fading of intimacy and sexual connection. If you’ve ever found yourself asking, “Where did the passion go?” or “Why don’t we feel close anymore?”—this episode is for you. This isn’t about shame or blame. It’s about truth. And it’s about love. Together, we’ll explore the myth of everlasting passion, the neuroscience behind why desire shifts over time, and the emotional, spiritual, and relational factors that influence our connections.
We’ll also dismantle one of the most harmful misunderstandings in modern relationships—the belief that sex and intimacy are the same. I’ll share real-life client stories that illuminate the path from disconnection to devotion, and how grief, identity shifts, unspoken resentments, and the pace of daily life can quietly create distance. You’ll learn why desire doesn’t disappear—it gets buried. And with gentle, intentional tending, it can be rekindled. Not as it once was, but as something even more soulful, embodied, and alive.
This episode is not just an invitation to reignite your relationship—it’s a call to come home to yourself. Whether you're navigating a season of emotional silence, longing for deeper connection, or simply wanting to understand what love needs to grow, I’ll offer reflections, practices, and presence to help guide you back to what’s sacred because intimacy isn’t lost. It’s waiting right under the surface.
