She's pouring out her heart, hoping he’ll understand and really see her, but instead he's trying to figure out the problem, hoping to keep the peace.

Somehow, no matter how much you try to talk through it, you both still walk away feeling unheard and distant.

If this sounds familiar, you’re not alone. Many couples unknowingly speak different languages which can leave you both frustrated and disconnected.

In this episode, we’re exploring why your conversations can get so painful, what’s really going on beneath the surface, and ways to heal what's underneath so you can both feel understood and connected again.

Does sex feel like rejection instead of affection? Or duty instead of delight?

In this episode we’re pulling back the curtain on something so many couples feel, but few talk about out loud: what happens when sex feels one-sided in your marriage.

Maybe you’re the one initiating and feeling rejected over and over or maybe you feel pressured, obligated, or emotionally disconnected every time sex comes up. Either way, when one person’s needs or desires are consistently unmet, sex stops feeling like intimacy and starts feeling like pain.

There is healing and hope. Learn to reconnect and enjoy each other again.

What if the anxiety, exhaustion, or even chronic health issues you’re dealing with aren’t random, but connected to how emotionally unsafe your marriage feels?

In this episode, we unpack how emotional disconnection, ongoing conflict, and the pressure to hold it all together can take a real toll on your body and nervous system. You’ll learn why your symptoms aren’t just “in your head,” how trauma in marriage shows up physically, and what healing can look like: spiritually, emotionally, and even physiologically.

Whether you're feeling constantly on edge, shut down, or just plain numb, this conversation will give you language for what’s happening and hope for what’s possible.

You’re not crazy. You’re not weak. And you’re not alone. This is your invitation to step out of survival mode and start healing for real.
