1. Why Love Isn't Enough After Trauma - Our Story

We thought marrying the right person would fix the pain.

We were wrong.

In our very first episode, Brent and I (Robyn) open up about the early days of our marriage—what we thought healing would look like, how unspoken expectations fueled resentment, and why even "nice guys" can unintentionally contribute to emotional disconnection after trauma.

We share how past abuse shaped our dynamic (without either of us realizing it), what finally cracked open the truth, and why real intimacy required way more than patience and positivity. If you’ve ever wondered why your marriage still feels lonely—even though you both want it to work—this conversation is for you.

💬 We talk validation vs. intimacy, the role of self-authoring in reclaiming your sexuality, and how facing discomfort led to the emotional safety we craved.
