1 Let's Talk About Sex in Marriage Pt 2: What You Learned About Sex (and How It’s Affecting You Now) 28:33
In this week’s episode of AwakenYou in Your Marriage , I’m talking about something most of us have never taken the time to unpack— what we learned about sex… and how those lessons still live in our bodies, our minds, and our marriages today. For many of us, sex was never talked about at all. For others, the messages we received were shame-based, fear-driven, or wrapped in unrealistic ideals. Some of us absorbed confusion or silence. Others absorbed pressure, fear, or even distorted ideas of what it means to be desired. In this episode, I share a deeply personal story about my own early exposure to pornography, the lasting impact it had on my sense of worth, and how that confusion showed up in my marriage. I also talk about the harm of being dismissed by someone I turned to for help—and how our stories deserve to be met with empathy, not judgment. If you’ve ever felt shut down, ashamed, or like something’s “off” in the way you connect with your spouse… This conversation will help you see that you’re not broken. You just haven’t been given the space to understand what shaped you. ✨ There’s a journaling prompt at the end to help you reflect, and if you’re ready to take a first step toward healing, I’d love to invite you to a free Courageous Love Conversation.

If sex feels awkward, distant, pressured, or just off in your marriage — you’re not alone. In fact, over 50% of married couples say they’re dissatisfied with their sex life… and many haven’t talked about it in over a year. Not because they don’t care. Not because there’s something wrong with them. But because sex often carries a lifetime of silence, shame, and confusion. That’s why this episode exists. In this kickoff to the Let’s Talk About Sex in Marriage series, I’m inviting you into a conversation that’s been missing for too long — one that helps you explore your desires, your fears, and your longing for more meaningful connection. We’ll talk about: Why sexual disconnection is so common — even in loving marriages How emotional safety is the foundation of intimacy What it looks like to gently start this conversation with your spouse Why sex isn’t just physical — it’s emotional, spiritual, and relational This isn’t about fixing you or your marriage with a 3-step formula. It’s about healing. It’s about honesty. It’s about reclaiming intimacy that feels true, nourishing, and safe. 🎧 Listen now and begin the conversation — first with yourself, then with your partner. 📥 Know someone who needs this?

You want to be more affectionate. You want to initiate connection. You want to soften, speak kindly, reach out… But when the moment comes—you freeze, shut down, or hold back. And afterward, you wonder: Why didn’t I just do the thing I actually wanted to do? In this episode, we’re exploring the emotional tug-of-war that so many of us face in marriage—the dissonance between how we want to show up and how we actually do. You’ll learn why this dynamic is so common, how fear and self-protection subtly take over, and what you can do to begin choosing love without losing yourself. If you’ve ever felt frustrated by your own behavior or stuck in a pattern of emotional standoff, this conversation will bring clarity, compassion, and a new way forward. You don’t have to stay caught in that in-between place. Let’s talk about how to break through the blocks and start showing up as the partner you truly want to be. 🎧 Tune in now and take one small, bold step toward the love you’re craving.

Have you ever pulled away from your spouse’s affection… —even though part of you wanted it? Or maybe they offer something kind—a compliment, a hug, a moment of connection—and your whole body tenses or recoils? You’re not alone. And you’re not broken. This week on the podcast, I’m exploring a concept that’s been deeply eye-opening for me—and for so many of my clients: What if you’re not resisting love… you’re resisting the pain that once came with it? Maybe “love” used to mean: Pressure to perform Conditional affection Being needed more than being known Or being told what’s “best” for you while your voice was dismissed So now, even healthy love can feel like a threat. Your nervous system doesn’t recognize it as safe—it recognizes it as familiar. And familiar, in this case, feels risky. In this episode, I walk through: Why shame and unhealed stories distort how we give and receive love How past experiences can cause us to resist connection—even when we long for it And the steps we can take to gently start healing and creating safety again If you’ve ever wondered why love feels complicated, this might be the insight you didn’t know you needed. This episode is a little tender, a little exploratory, and I truly believe it might unlock something powerful for you—just like it did for me.

Have you ever found yourself spiraling after something your spouse said or didn’t say? It might’ve seemed small—but the emotional response inside of you? Felt big. And maybe you even asked yourself, “Why did that hit me so hard?” This week’s episode of AwakenYou in Your Marriage is all about what happens when current pain stirs up something deeper —and how learning to tend to these moments in real time can actually begin to heal wounds that have been there for years. You’ll hear: ✨ Why emotional triggers in your marriage often have deeper roots ✨ A simple practice to help you process pain instead of stuffing it down ✨ How real-time healing helps stop the cycle of blame, shutdown, and disconnect ✨ Why tending to today’s wounds softens the power of the past This episode is especially for you if you’ve been doing the work but still feel stuck in patterns that keep resurfacing. It’s a compassionate, hope-filled reminder that healing doesn't always mean doing more —sometimes it means slowing down enough to feel what's already asking for your attention.

It feels like nothing is changing… but it is. There’s a moment on the journey of growth that can feel downright cruel. You’re showing up. You’re doing the work. You’re staying present, using the tools, praying through the pain… And still, nothing seems to be changing. Not fast enough. Not visibly enough. And that old voice whispers, Why bother? If that’s where you are right now, I recorded this week’s episode just for you. ✨ It’s not that you’re doing it wrong. It’s that you’re in the middle — the sacred, quiet stretch where the muscle of change is forming before it’s visible. In today’s episode of AwakenYou in Your Marriage , I talk about what it means to live in that middle space — the part where you're sometimes still falling into old patterns, but you're also starting to notice them and choose differently. I’ll share a story from one of my coaching clients — a woman who, in the face of emotional shutdown and discouragement, kept showing up for herself and her relationship. She didn’t get it “right” the first time. Or the second. But she kept coming back. And her courage was building something far more powerful than perfection. This episode is your reminder that: Falling into the hole doesn’t mean you’re failing You can regulate, recover, and re-enter with love And your heart is already protected by a God who is holding you as you grow So if you’re weary from doing the work and wondering if it’s making a difference — please don’t miss this one.

What if the clutter in your home is quietly draining the energy from your marriage? In this week’s episode, I sit down with decluttering and mindset coach Kerryn Simmons to talk about how the spaces we live in impact how we feel in our relationships. We explore what “clutter capacity” means, how childhood messages about organizing shape us, and how couples can begin to talk—without blame—about what they want their home to feel like. We also talk about what to do if your spouse isn’t ready to have that conversation (yet) and how powerful it can be to take the first steps yourself. Whether you're constantly cleaning up or you’ve been avoiding the piles altogether, this conversation will help you start creating a home that fuels your connection instead of hiding it. 🎙 Listen now and start shifting the energy in your home—and your marriage. Kerryn is a clutter coach that specialises in helping you declutter without making any mess along the way through her unique, holistic blend of clutter coaching, mindset coaching and nervous system support. Kerryn is a certified decluttering coach, mindset coach and registered yoga teacher and had a thirty year career in federal policy development in areas such as national gun control, crime and violence prevention, education and health care.

When your marriage feels heavy or disconnected, it’s easy to believe you’re the only one going through it. You look around and assume other couples must have it figured out, while you quietly carry the weight of your own disappointments behind closed doors. But here’s the truth I wish more people knew: Suffering in silence won’t move you forward. Healing begins when we step out of isolation—when we allow ourselves to be seen. When we realize we’re not the only ones hurting. When we reach for help, not as a sign of failure, but as an act of courage. In this week’s episode of AwakenYou in Your Marriage, I’m sharing something that’s been on my heart: the quiet, life-changing power of doing this marriage work with others —in community, with guidance, and without shame. There’s something incredibly healing about hearing someone else say, “We’re struggling too.” Because suddenly… you’re not alone anymore. If your marriage feels stuck right now, I want you to know: there is hope. You’re not behind. You’re not broken. You may just be missing the support you need to take that next step. And that next step could be as simple as scheduling a conversation. Listen to the episode and hear more about why this matters—and if you’re ready to explore what working together could look like, I’d love to talk. Because this kind of transformation doesn’t happen in isolation. And you don’t have to walk this road alone anymore.

You open up about something emotional… and your spouse completely misses it. They try to fix it, change the subject, or talk about someone else instead. And just like that—you shut down. This is how emotional intimacy quietly unravels in marriage. Not with a big fight, but with a missed moment. A break in connection. A silence that grows. In this week’s episode of AwakenYou in Your Marriage , I’m sharing a very real moment from my own marriage—something that happened just days ago—that brought this all into sharp focus. We talk about: 🗣️ What really breaks down in these vulnerable moments ❤️ How trust erodes when we don’t feel heard 🔄 Why knowing the tools isn’t the same as using them 🔧 And how we repaired afterward—because the repair is what really matters This episode isn’t about perfection. It’s about what happens when you’re trying … and still get it wrong. And why that doesn’t have to be the end of the conversation.

Have you ever been in a moment with your spouse where you felt a swirl of emotions? You’re hurt. Frustrated. Disappointed. But underneath all of it—you know that you still love them. That’s exactly where I found myself the day after our 20th anniversary. I had planned the evening. Jeff gave me flowers… a day late. And the way he handed them to me? Let’s just say it didn’t land the way he probably hoped. It would’ve been so easy to let my disappointment take over. To shut down. To keep a little distance as a way of protecting my heart. But I did something different this time. Something I’ve been practicing—and helping my clients practice too. And in today’s episode, I’m sharing what happened, what I learned, and how it might shift the way you navigate these moments in your marriage too. 🎧 Ep 213: Holding Both: How to Love Through Disappointment in Marriage In this episode, I’ll show you: How to honor your true emotions without weaponizing them What to do when it feels “right” to stay angry—but connection is what you really want A simple mindset shift to help you express both your pain and your love A client story that shows how holding onto hurt can delay healing—and how they’re learning to let go This episode is especially for the woman who’s doing the work—who wants to love deeply, without betraying herself. 💛 Listen in, and then forward it to a friend who might need this reminder too.

Have you ever had that moment in your marriage where you feel like… "What’s the point of trying anymore?" Maybe you’ve done the work. You’ve been patient. You’ve read the books, had the talks, maybe even tried counseling. And yet, the connection still feels out of reach. The effort still feels one-sided. You still feel… stuck. If that sounds familiar, this week’s episode was made with you in mind. In it, I share a story from my own life that helped me see how easily we can lose heart — not because we’ve failed, but because we’ve lost sight of where we’re going. What if you don’t need to work harder in your marriage? What if you simply need a clearer vision of what you’re working toward? In this episode, you’ll discover: Why trying without vision leads to burnout How emotional “quitting” often happens long before we even realize it The missing ingredient that can make your commitment feel meaningful again A gentle challenge to reimagine what’s still possible for your marriage If you’ve been tempted to give up — or you’ve quietly stopped hoping — I want to invite you to listen.

This week’s episode is a tender one — one that honestly surprised even me as I lived it. Inside the episode, I share a brand-new break that happened in my marriage recently — a quiet, significant shift that exposed a dynamic I’ve lived with for years, often without fully realizing how much it impacted my heart. You’ll have to tune in to hear exactly what happened. But more importantly, I want you to listen because this same dynamic could be quietly playing out in your marriage too — leaving you feeling lonelier, less connected, or even less drawn to your spouse without fully understanding why. In this conversation, I’ll walk you through: Why emotional intimacy often feels so elusive (especially with partners who think love means protection) How emotional distance silently erodes connection and attraction over time Why feeling sadness or longing is not a sign of weakness — but a sign that your heart is still alive and hopeful How you can begin softening the walls between you and your spouse, even if they feel high right now If you’ve ever wondered why you feel like you have most of your spouse—but not all of them—this episode is especially for you. Your dream of deeper connection isn’t out of reach. And sometimes the first step is simply naming the ache you feel inside. Come listen. Your heart will feel less alone.

In many marriages, there’s a quiet, often invisible dynamic that keeps one person shrinking and the other wondering why they feel so alone — even when both partners care deeply. It’s called the “one down” position. And it’s more common than you might think. Sometimes it looks like always apologizing… Or saying, “You deserve better than me.” Or hiding behind a wall of withdrawal and silence. But underneath, it’s all rooted in shame — a belief that “I’m not enough,” or “I don’t belong in this relationship as I am.” In this week’s episode of AwakenYou in Your Marriage, I’m diving deep into this dynamic: 💬 What it really means to be one down 🔄 The two different ways it can show up — walled off or boundaryless 💡 How it might be quietly playing out in your own marriage 🌱 And most importantly, what you can do to begin shifting back into equal, emotionally safe partnership — whether it’s your spouse who’s stuck there, or you. This episode is an invitation to reflect with compassion — not judgment — and to start noticing the patterns that might be keeping connection just out of reach. 🎧 Listen now and begin the journey of stepping into deeper emotional equality CBS News Interview: 6 Tips For A Healthy & Loving Relationship Unlock deeper connection in your marriage with my free guide, Daily Prompts for Deeper Connection with Your Spouse —get it now!

Have you ever gone through a season in your marriage where things felt… quiet? Not in a peaceful, cozy way — but in a Where did we go? kind of way. Maybe you’re in that season right now. Conversations feel dull or distant. You’re both going through the motions. You’re wondering if the connection you once had is gone for good. This week on the podcast, I’m sharing a reflection that’s been stirring in my heart during Holy Week — one I believe might speak directly into that space. It’s about Good Friday. The silence. The sorrow. The waiting. And how that part of the Easter story — the part most of us would rather skip — might just mirror what you're walking through in your marriage. But here’s the hope: God is still working in the silence. He is not done writing your story. And nothing — not even the parts that feel lifeless — is beyond redemption. This episode is a gentle invitation to sit with the pain, listen for God’s whisper, and believe again in the possibility of resurrection… even in your marriage.

Let’s say you bought something this week—a new pair of shoes, a few Amazon “add to cart” moments—and didn’t tell your spouse. Not because it was a big secret, but because… what’s the point, right? Guess what... Most of us aren’t intentionally lying in our marriages. But we’re often not fully telling the truth either. We leave out the small stuff—spending, frustrations, unmet needs—because we’re trying to avoid conflict or protect ourselves from judgment. But those little omissions? They slowly pull us away from the very intimacy we crave. This week on AwakenYou in Your Marriage , I’m talking about what it really means to be open and honest in your relationship—and why this kind of vulnerability is one of the most important things you can practice. We’ll explore: Why we hold back (even when we think it’s “not a big deal”) How hiding creates cracks in the foundation of your marriage What it looks like to start being more honest in small, safe ways How to prepare your nervous system for the discomfort of truth—and the connection that follows A real-life example of how one couple began opening up about their spending If you’ve ever felt like you and your spouse live beside each other more than with each other… this episode is for you. And if you’re ready to take this deeper in your own marriage, book a Courageous Love Conversation with me. We’ll gently uncover where honesty and connection might be waiting for you.
