Relationships are all about vulnerability and intimacy, but let's be real, it's not always easy to open up and be truly intimate with your partner. I recently went on a vacation to Jamaica with my partner, Joshua, and it made me realize just how important it is to understand the dynamics of connection and intimacy during trips like these. 


In this podcast episode, I want to share with you some of the common pitfalls couples face on vacations, the role of expectations, the impact of distractions, and the transformative power of intentional choices.


In this episode:


  • 05:25 Things that we did in our vacation that made it an opportunity to really connect and make it a wonderful experience
  • 15:27 The one thing we did that made the biggest difference in our vacation
