This episode of the 2 Be Better Podcast dives headfirst into the uncomfortable reality of grief inside a marriage, especially when loss, trauma, and unresolved wounds collide. Using real listener emails, Chris and Peaches unpack a husband's intense grief after losing his mother, the emotional disconnect it creates with his wife, and how unprocessed pain, a history of TBI, and mismatched grieving styles can quietly erode intimacy. You can expect raw conversation about masculine grief, emotional regulation, anger, resentment, and why trying to rush healing often makes things worse rather than better. The episode also tackles boundaries, responsibility, victim mentality, and perspective through a second email involving family conflict, control, and dependency. Chris challenges the listener narrative hard, questioning entitlement, gratitude, and personal accountability when living under someone else's roof. Expect blunt truths about boundaries with parents and grandparents, parenting disagreements, food, discipline, and why avoiding hard conversations creates long-term damage. This episode is for listeners who want real growth, not comfort, and who are willing to look at how their interpretations, reactions, and choices are shaping their relationships. Disclaimer: We are not professionals.

You can have a loving partner who compliments you, supports you, and chooses you every day—and still feel completely undesired. The surprising truth is that the problem usually isn't your partner's attraction… it's how desire is being interpreted and received in your relationship.Feeling sexually desired is one of the most powerful emotional experiences in a relationship. It boosts confidence, deepens connection, and brings energy into your partnership.But many people in long-term relationships quietly struggle with the opposite feeling: “My partner loves me… but I don't feel wanted.”In this episode of Sex for Couples, certified sex therapist and intimacy coach Heather Shannon explains why feeling desired can be more complicated than it seems. Even when your partner appreciates you and cares deeply about the relationship, subtle psychological patterns can block you from actually feeling their attraction.Heather breaks down three common reasons people stop feeling sexually desired by their partner, and how shifting your perspective can dramatically change how you experience attraction, connection, and intimacy.What You'll Learn in This EpisodeWhy feeling desired is partly an internal experience, not just something your partner createsHow an external locus of control can unintentionally make you feel rejected or unwantedThe subtle ways your partner may already be choosing you and expressing attraction that you might be missingHow old beliefs about worthiness or attractiveness can block you from receiving desireWhy couples often experience “mixed signals” around attraction even when both partners care deeplyHow body image, stress, and life transitions (like parenting or aging) can impact your ability to feel wantedPractical ways to start receiving your partner's desire instead of dismissing itWant Help Improving Your Sex Life?If you're struggling with mismatched libidos, emotional disconnect, or feeling unwanted in your relationship, Heather works with couples and individuals to address the deeper psychological patterns behind intimacy issues.Learn more about her Pathway to Passion coaching program and request a free consultation at:

Couples come to you with what they want. But your job – if you want to book more couples at higher prices – is to know how to trigger what they really need. They may not know it themselves, which is why you'll be a step ahead of everyone else if you learn how to identify what core motivation is driving the couple's decision. In this episode you'll learn ·      How to sell from the intersection of sales and psychology·      9 core desires pushing consumer purchases·      4 most common triggers for couples·      How to incorporate these into your marketing and sales efforts

Does your partner's touch make your skin crawl? You're not broken—and this is fixable.Touch aversion is when affectionate or sexual touch from your partner feels wrong in your body— irritating, threatening, or like you need to escape. This can happen even with light, loving touch. This isn't about attraction. It's a nervous system response— and it's more common than you think.In this episode, you'll learn:What touch aversion actually is (and why it's not rejection, it's protection)8 causes beyond sexual trauma—including disembodied consent, emotional coercion, being "touched out" from kids, unresolved resentments, and attachment patternsWhy therapy may help you understand it but doesn't solve it (and what does)Why your partner acting hurt about it makes it worse, even though it's understandableThe Three-Touch Discovery Process— a practice you can try today to start reconnecting with what your body actually wantsTouch aversion happens when your nervous system has learned that touch isn't safe— even with a safe partner. You can't think your way out of a body-based response. You need new somatic experiences to re-pattern.This is solvable. But you need guided work with someone who specializes in nervous system re-patterning, not just talk therapy. So we'll talk about what that looks like. If you want help, book a consultation at https://laurajurgens.com/book-a-consult/Send a textGet my free guide: 5 Steps to Start Solving Desire Differences (Without Blame or Shame), A Practical Starting Point for Individuals and Couples, at https://laurajurgens.com/libido Find out more about my offerings and read the blog: https://laurajurgens.com/ Copyright notice: All content in this podcast is copyrighted and copying, scraping, data mining, or using the content to train AI is prohibited.

Age of Attraction makes its Netflix debut, and hosts Jason Reed and Aysha Welch dive right into episode 1, unpacking the premise and player dynamics. The show asks: Does age matter when it comes to finding love, or can connections cross decades? With contestants keeping their ages secret as they search for romance during a Canadian retreat, the hosts have plenty to analyze, from first impressions to the twisty promise room reveal. Jason and Aysha break down what separates Age of Attraction from shows like Love Is Blind and Married at First Sight, highlighting its focus on age gaps and the decision-making process before any long-term commitment. They analyze the casting, noting the show’s clear trend toward pairing people willing to date outside their typical age range, and ponder what makes the promise room an intriguing pivot point in the format. Early episodes spotlight several budding couples, each facing their own challenges as they consider age, life stage, and personal goals, some with kids, others just starting in their careers. They dig deep into: – First impressions of key pairs, including Libby and Andrew's youthful energy clash and John and Theresa's surprising age reveal – The show’s casting strategy and how it shapes contestant connections, especially around age range preferences – The promise room mechanic and its role in uncovering real ages, shifting romantic decisions on the spot – Contestants' candid conversations about kids, careers, and non-negotiables, adding layers to the show’s take on attraction and compatibility – Memorable moments like awkward age guessing games, Swiftie debates, and standout confessional commentary As Age of Attraction kicks off, will the pairs focus on chemistry, or will age become an insurmountable obstacle?

Around the world, fertility rates are collapsing. Couples are struggling to get pregnant more than ever before, and the common solution most people hear is simple: try IVF, take hormones, or hope for the best. But what if infertility isn't actually the problem? What if infertility is your body's signal that something deeper is going wrong? Dr. Aumatma explains that fertility is actually the first biological system to shut down when the body perceives stress or danger. When the immune system is inflamed, the microbiome is disrupted, or the body is overloaded with toxins, reproduction becomes a low priority for survival. For anyone struggling with fertility, hormonal imbalance, or chronic inflammation, this episode offers a powerful reminder that the body is always communicating — and understanding those signals may be the key to restoring true reproductive health.   TOPICS DISCUSSED: Male fertility decline (testosterone & sperm count) IVF, reproductive technology, and limitations Natural selection in fertilization and reproductive biology Hormonal regulation and endocrine function Environmental toxins and reproductive damage Circadian rhythm and stress impacting fertility Listening to the body's signals (PMS, cycles, symptoms) Root-cause functional medicine approach to fertility   More from Dr. Aumatma Simmons: Website: madrefertility.com Instagram: @holisticfertilitydoctor   Leave us a Review: https://www.reversablepod.com/review   Need help with your gut?

This is The Energy to Heal, your resource for all things Splankna, the faith-based inner healing modality that will help you achieve emotional freedom. In this episode, Laura Milliken continues the marriage Q&A recap from a recent live panel she and her husband Mason participated in at their church. Audience members submitted anonymous questions about real-life marriage struggles—communication breakdowns, unresolved conflict, emotional distance, and how faith shapes the way couples navigate difficult seasons. In this Part Two episode, Laura unpacks additional questions that came in that night and reflects on the deeper patterns that often sit underneath marital tension. From a Christian perspective, she shares insights on humility, forgiveness, emotional awareness, and the importance of learning how to respond to your spouse with maturity instead of reacting from old wounds. This episode continues the launch of Laura's new marriage series—exploring how healthier relationships with ourselves, with God, and with our spouse can reduce the ways we unintentionally hurt each other and instead cultivate marriages marked by growth, safety, and connection.

Dear Listener, does communicating with your partner sometimes feel like an uphill battle? Do you find yourself saying things you don't mean—or struggling to say what you do mean without it landing as an attack? What if there were a way to communicate that actually brought you closer, even during conflict?In this episode, we're joined by Relationship Center therapist and couples counselor Nicole Penrod to explore Nonviolent Communication (NVC)—a powerful framework for transforming how you and your partner talk to each other.Nicole breaks down the basics of NVC (also called compassionate communication), originally developed by Marshall Rosenberg. At its core, NVC helps us move from reactive, judgmental communication to empathetic, connecting conversation. Think less jackal (defensive, fear-driven) and more giraffe (big-hearted, slow, and steady).We walk through the four steps of NVC—Observation, Feeling, Need, Request (OFNR)—with real examples, including Jessica getting pretend-mad at Josh about socks on the floor. You'll learn why "I feel abandoned" isn't actually a feeling, how to set your partner up for success (and vice versa!), and why asking for what you want can help heal attachment wounds.If you're tired of the same old fights and ready to communicate with more compassion—for your partner and yourself—this episode is for you.Key Takeaways0:00 Intro06:07 What is NVC?10:45 What are the NVC basics?18:28 Name the Need21:04 Requests Without Demands32:01 How do I actually use NVC with my partner?Resources and linksDecolonizing NVCBook: Decolonizing Non-Violent CommunicationPodcast episode with the author: https://www.skepticspath.org/podcast/decolonizing-nonviolent-communication-with-meenadchi/Feelings and Needs Lists: https://www.sociocracyforall.org/nvc-feelings-and-needs-list/Nicole's favorite video introduction of the basics: https://roxannemanning.com/an-introduction-to-nvc/On the 4 listening modes: https://seedofpeace.org/nvc-introductory-articles/four-ways-of-listening/Have a question or comment?

What do you do when the relationship is good, but the sex is boring?In part two of my conversation with clinical sexologist Dr. Stacey Friedman, we talk about what really happens to sexual relationships over time. We move beyond the idea of “dead bedrooms” and dive into boredom, communication, novelty, and the evolving nature of intimacy in midlife.We explore how to talk to a partner about disappointing sex without damaging their ego. Dr. Stacey Friedman explains why many couples lose desire simply because their sex life becomes predictable. And she shares practical ways to bring novelty back into the bedroom without pressure or shame.The conversation also explores topics many couples are curious about but rarely discuss openly. Alternative relationship structures, sexual exploration later in life, and how to redefine sex as connection rather than performance.If part one opened the door to rebuilding intimacy, part two shows how curiosity, communication, and creativity keep desire alive long term.In this episode:00:00 Welcome Back And Part Two Overview00:35 Karen's Story About The “Lazy Lover”02:05 How To Talk About Bad Sex Without Hurting Ego03:30 Curiosity Instead Of Criticism04:40 Why So Many Couples Are Bored In Bed05:45 The Importance Of Novelty In Long Term Sex06:55 The Roller Coaster Analogy For Predictable Sex08:00 Simple Ways To Add Variety And Playfulness09:05 When Couples Consider Opening Their Relationship10:30 Why Alternative Relationships Sometimes Work11:55 Ad Break.

Porn addiction is one of the most hidden struggles affecting men, relationships, and marriages today, and in this powerful conversation we dive deep into the reality behind it. In this episode, Chris sits down with a guest from Team Vulnerable who shares his personal story of growing up with shame, developing a severe porn addiction that lasted more than a decade, and hitting rock bottom when it began destroying his marriage and mental health. From erectile dysfunction on his wedding night to confronting the shame that kept him trapped, this raw discussion explores the real psychological and emotional reasons people become addicted to pornography and why so many feel powerless to stop. You'll learn how addiction thrives in secrecy, why honesty and vulnerability are the first steps toward freedom, and what the recovery process actually looks like for couples trying to rebuild trust. The conversation covers accountability, healing trauma, rebuilding intimacy, and how partners can support each other through addiction recovery without shame or blame. If you're struggling with porn addiction, dealing with a partner who is, or simply want to understand how pornography impacts relationships, this episode offers practical insight, real-world experience, and a path toward healing and personal responsibility.Disclaimer: We are not professionals.

In this episode of the To Be Better Podcast, Chris and Peaches dive deep into trauma bonds, toxic relationships, emotional manipulation, and the hard truth about when it's time to walk away. Using real listener emails, they break down abusive dynamics, people pleasing, suicidal threats as manipulation, and why guilt is not a reason to stay connected to someone who is harming you. This conversation covers boundaries, self preservation, emotional responsibility, and the danger of mistaking chaos for love, especially after abuse or high conflict relationships. You can expect blunt relationship advice, real world examples, and no sugarcoating. This episode explores why late change doesn't equal growth, how trauma rewires the nervous system, and why cutting contact is sometimes the most loving and responsible decision you can make. If you're struggling with letting go, feeling responsible for someone else's emotions, or questioning whether you're the problem, this episode will challenge your beliefs and help you reclaim your peace, your agency, and your future.Disclaimer: We are not professionals.

Couples therapy can be some of the most rewarding work we do as therapists, but it can also be one of the most challenging. Many couples don't reach out for help until things feel like they're falling apart. By the time they sit down in your office, there are often years of resentment, hurt, and miscommunication built up beneath the surface. In this episode, I'm joined by Dr. Wyatt Fisher, a psychologist and couples therapist who has spent years refining his approach to helping couples work through those deeper issues. Wyatt shares how his own personal and professional experiences shaped his work with couples and why he eventually moved away from the traditional weekly therapy model. We talk about the power of marriage intensives, how addressing resentments first can change the entire course of therapy, and some of the practical tools he uses to help couples rebuild connection and accountability. Wyatt also shares how he's structured his practice to include intensives, coaching, classes, and conferences to create a more comprehensive model for helping couples. If you work with couples or have ever wondered how to structure therapy so couples can make real progress faster, I think you'll find this conversation really interesting.

Treat others the way you want to be treated? Great rule. Terrible sex advice.In this episode I'm breaking down the principle that actually works — go at the pace of the slowest body in the room, with open curiosity — and why applying the wrong golden rule is one of the most common ways couples accidentally shut down desire without even realizing it.I talk about what going slow actually asks of the faster-arousing partner (hint: it's not a sacrifice — it's new, but delicious), why the slower-arousing partner needs to develop real self-knowledge first, and what that actually looks like in practice. I also get into why so many people with vulvas have never actually explored their own peak arousal — and why that matters more than most sex "experts" will ever tell you.If you've ever felt like your body isn't responding the way it "should," or like you and your partner are somehow always missing each other — this one's for you.Topics covered:Why the wrong golden rule kills desire without anyone meaning it toThe nervous system reason that going too fast trips the brakesWhat the "five-course meal approach" actually looks likeSelf-exploration as a non-negotiable — and how to startHealing your relationship with your own genitals

Yes, this is a real sport. Couples from around the world are racing through obstacle courses with one partner literally carrying the other and the stories behind the competition are even wilder than the event itself. The team explores where the bizarre tradition came from, what it takes to win, and whether anyone in the studio would actually survive the race.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Send a textWhen anxious and avoidant partners try to talk through conflict… it often gets worse.One person pushes for answers. The other shuts down.Words start flying around the room. But somehow, no one feels heard.In this episode of Love Shack Live, we're continuing our series on the anxious-avoidant dynamic by exploring the skills that actually help couples stay connected when conversations get hard.Because most couples believe the solution is simple: “Let's just talk it through.”But when emotions are high, something important disappears.Listening.Instead of understanding each other, couples end up talking at each other… escalating the very dynamic they're trying to solve.In this conversation, we break down the relationship skills that make communication possible again, especially for couples caught in the anxious-avoidant loop.You'll learn:Why pushing a conversation when emotions are high almost always backfiresThe moment most couples miss when conflict starts escalatingWhy anxious and avoidant partners are often feeling the same emotional overwhelm, just expressing it differentlyThe surprising reason many people feel safer being understood by technology than by another human beingAnd three practical skills that help couples pause, regulate, and reconnect instead of spiralingIf you've ever walked away from a conversation feeling like nothing was actually resolved… this episode will help you understand why.And more importantly, what to do instead.Because relationships don't thrive when people never get upset.They thrive when people learn how to recognize the moment things are going sideways… regulate themselves… and come back to the conversation with more clarity.This episode is the final teaching installment in our anxious-avoidant series.Next week, we'll answer real listener questions about anxious and avoidant relationships submitted through email, social media, and private messages.Resources MentionedClarity Call with Tom:

Buckle up, it's time to go for a ride on the Dirty Thirty Express! In just 30 mins, you'll see, hear, and feel the very best Dirty Mo Media has to offer from this week. This one is locked, loaded, and ready to rip. Dale Jr. starts us off with a conversation around the NOAPS driver making a lot of waves recently: Corey Day. He describes the conversation he had with the young racer, how the team dynamics work between JRM and Hendrick Motorsports, and what he sees happening moving forward with Day. Next up, Denny Hamlin talks about the wreck he didn't realize he caused, which resulted in Connor Zilisch going for (another) spin in COTA's turn one. He goes on to praise the driver of the No. 88 and says SVG might not have it so easy on the road courses this year, thanks to his new teammate. In another supercharged segment, Karsyn Elledge describes her point of view from the volatile CARS Tour victory lane. The short track racing world took notice of the moment and learned a valuable lesson: you DON'T mess with the Elledge sisters. Over on Bless Your 'Hardt this week, Dale tells Amy the full story behind Isla saying her first cuss word — and how a small part of him felt so proud. This is a story you're going to want to catch. Lastly, the internet's favorite mullet-having, sleeveless shirt-wearing, helicopter-flying personality stopped by the Arby's studio to talk about his new RCR deal. In this segment, he discusses the noise from the haters, his fans, and what he hopes to accomplish racing in the O'Reilly Auto Parts series. Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

In this episode, you'll learn: What Well Endowed is really about — the thesis behind the book, why Vivian wrote it, what she wished she knew before she started, and the ideas she kept coming back that made her realize this needed to be a whole second book. The biggest money misconceptions people have about getting older and building wealth, why the personal finance conversation has shifted dramatically in the last few years, and the core wealth-building principles she believes are non-negotiable no matter what the economy is doing. Why everyone needs to understand trusts and wills. Plus, the estate planning basics Vivian breaks down in Well Endowed, why most people put it off until it's too late, and the surprisingly simple steps you can take right now to protect your wealth, your assets, and the people you love, no matter how much (or how little) you have in your bank account.
