If you’re wondering how to rebuild love after years of disconnection, this episode of the AwakenYou in Your Marriage Podcast will encourage you.
Many husbands and wives quietly ask, “Is it possible to fall back in love after feeling so distant?” The truth is more hopeful than you might think.
In Episode 234, “Can You Really Fall Back in Love?”, I share one woman’s real-life journey of rebuilding connection in her marria...
Have you ever whispered the words to yourself: “I don’t feel in love anymore”?
It’s a thought that can feel frightening, even shameful—like you’re the only one carrying it. But the truth is, almost every couple will walk through seasons where love feels distant.
In this week’s episode of the AwakenYou in Your Marriage Podcast, I’m starting a brand-new series: Falling Back in Love. And in Episode 1, I’m talking about The...
When you hear the word “betrayal,” you probably think of infidelity. But there’s another kind of betrayal that can wound just as deeply, and often goes unnamed: emotional betrayal.
It happens when your spouse turns away instead of toward you… when the trust that they’ll be emotionally safe with you gets broken. Sometimes it looks like confiding in someone else instead of you. Sometimes it’s dismissing your feelings, wi...
Have you ever noticed how some of your biggest arguments seem to happen on the weekends? Everything feels fine during the week, then Saturday comes—and suddenly you’re at each other’s throats over something small.
You’re not alone. This happens to so many couples, and there’s a reason why.
During the week, we’re busy and distracted. Little annoyances get pushed aside, but they don’t disappear—they quietly pile up. By th...
Do you ever look back and wonder… what happened to the romance?
When you were dating, it seemed so natural—the late-night talks, the thoughtful gestures, the spark of being pursued. But somewhere along the way, after the relationship felt secure, life got busy. Careers, kids, and responsibilities took over, and the pursuit faded.
And with it, sometimes desire will fade too.
This week on AwakenYou in Your Marriage, I’m sh...
One of the quietest but most painful dynamics I hear from women is this: “He says he wants sex… but he never actually asks.”
It leaves you feeling invisible, unwanted, and confused. And for him? Silence can feel safer than facing rejection, insecurity, or the shame that often hides beneath the surface.
In my latest bonus episode, “He’s Not Asking—Now What?” I explore what might really be happening when your spouse longs...
Have you ever wondered why sex seemed so natural in the beginning, but now feels complicated—or even avoided?
For many couples, sex was the hook that brought them together.
- For her, giving herself felt like the way to keep his attention.
- For him, receiving her felt like proof that he was wanted.
It worked—at least for a while. But over time, that script creates a painful standoff: she pulls back, weary of obligat...
What if the very questions you’ve been afraid to ask about sex… are actually the ones that could open the door to deeper connection, healing, and understanding?
This week’s episode wraps up the Let’s Talk About Sex in Marriage series with something powerful:
💬 Real questions. Honest answers.
These aren’t surface-level questions.
These are the kind of questions you ask when you’re lying awake at night, wonderi...
This couple had an intimacy breakthrough most couples miss.
He was frustrated they weren’t having sex.
She felt used and emotionally abandoned.
He said, “I’m always open to sex—she just never initiates.”
She said, “It doesn’t feel like love. It feels like pressure.”
Like so many couples, they were stuck in a painful standoff—both wanting connection, but waiting for the other to change.
But here’s what shifted...
What if the way you initiate sex… actually turned your spouse on?
Not because of a clever move or perfectly timed suggestion—but because of the energy behind it.
Too often, initiation becomes about asking for something. And for the person being asked? It can feel like pressure. One more thing on the to-do list. One more demand to meet.
But what if initiating wasn’t about getting sex—what if it was about offering love?
Thi...
Have you ever loved your spouse deeply but felt your body shut down when they reached for you?
Maybe you’ve wondered…
“Why don’t I want sex the way I used to?”
“Why does my mind feel so distracted—or even resistant—when I want to feel close?”
If that’s you, I want you to take a deep breath and hear this:
👉 There's nothing wrong with you.
👉 Your desire isn’t gone.
👉 Your body is just doing what it’...
There was a season in my marriage when we were having sex… but something still felt painfully off.
We weren’t fighting. We were doing the “right” things.
But emotionally, we were disconnected — and I felt it most clearly in the bedroom.
We were going through the motions — like fast food intimacy.
It gave us temporary relief but left us hungry for something deeper.
Maybe you know what that feels like…
Maybe sex has...
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 absor...
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 t...
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 ac...
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 resis...
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 actua...
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...
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...
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 our...
