Your Faves - Top 10 Episodes of 2022 Can you believe we are already winding down 2022?! This year has been filled with so many blessings for me and this podcast. On today's episode, I share the top 10 episodes of 2022. This year I had the opportunity to have conversations with some incredible guests that were able to bring you some of the top relationship and marriage advice! Number 10 - The Lowdown on the Hookup Culture (episode 74) This top 10 episode of 2022 was a part of our “Shameless Sex series.” I dedicated this particular episode to my single men and women as many have remarked how “it's rough out here in these dating streets.” Society seems obsessed with free sex. The hookup culture is alive and well, and it's not just millennials or Gen-Zers engaging in sex on demand. In this episode, we discuss five reasons the hookup culture is no bueno and five practical steps to exit right out of it. Listen to The Lowdown on the Hookup Culture Number 9 - The Silent Treatment vs. Silence (episode 87) This may have been one of my top episodes of 2022 because I sometimes struggle with giving people the silent treatment. This was a part of our “Communication 101 series.” In case you didn't know, I dedicated an entire series to the art of communication in relationships. The main takeaway from this particular episode is that there is a difference between the silent treatment and silence. Silence can actually be very good and healthy in your relationship, but the silent treatment never is. Listen to The Silent Treatment vs. Silence Number 8 - 7 Ways Men Destroy Their Marriages (episode 94) This episode was for my fellas. Guys, your wives have been trying to tell you that you're destroying your marriage.. Truthfully, it's most likely that your marriage might be falling apart in many more ways than one, but we're talking about the big ones here. If you're humble and open enough to receive this wisdom, it will change how you show up in your marriage. This top 10 episode of 2022 can help men correct behaviors that may be detrimental to your marriage. Listen to 7 Ways Men Destroy Their Marriages Number 7 - 4 Steps to H.E.A.L After a Broken Heart (episode 103) I know there are so many couples who are recovering from infidelity. I really wanted to create a podcast where we dive deep on giving practical relationship and advice that will help heal the broken heart. Most of us have been through this unfortunate situation at some time or another. It's never easy mending a broken heart, but it is always possible. This top 10 episode of 2022 will give you the tools you need to start your healing. Listen to 4 Steps to H.E.A.L After a Broken Heart Number 6 - 7 Ways Women Destroy Their Marriages (episode 93) In this episode we talk about how women do things subconsciously that unintentionally destroy marriages. The good news is if you're still married, you haven't destroyed your marriage beyond repair. But don't wait until divorce papers are being filed to reach out for help if you need to. As a marriage coach, I help couples who are struggling all the time. It's never too early or too late to get help. Listen to this episode and learn seven ways women destroy their marriages. Listen to 7 Ways Women Destroy Their Marriages Number 5 - How Men and Women Communicate Differently (episode 90) In this episode we talk about how men and women communicate differently. Men are from Mars; women are from Venus, they said. How we communicate can differ as men and women. However, I wanted to help you take your communication skills out of this world with this episode, because no matter what society says, there are differences in the genders, especially in how they communicate. This episode has a very special guest, my husband Shaun. You don't want to miss this one! Listen to How Men and Women Communicate Differently Number 4 - 7 Tips to Become a Better Listener (episode 89) Do you listen to understand or to respond? Here's the hard truth: most of us are not good listeners even though we think we are. In this episode, you'll learn seven tips on becoming a better listener and the art of wholehearted communication. I'm super passionate about this topic, because I see communication gone wild all.of.the.time. The good news is with a few tweaks, anyone can become a better listener and have more mutually beneficial conversations with those they care about. Listen to 7 Tips to Become a Better Listener Number 3 - 12 Steps to Rebuild Trust in your Relationship (episode 102) Did you know that 1 in 4 marriages will experience infidelity? The good news is half of these marriages will survive it. In this top 10 episode of 2022, I'm giving you 12 practical (but not easy) steps to rebuild trust in your marriage or relationship. This is one episode you will want to refer back to should you find yourself in the unfortunate situation of affair recovery. I truly believe that all is not lost when someone commits adultery. Your marriage or relationship can survive this, but you need an action plan in order to succeed. Listen to 12 Steps to Rebuild Trust in your Relationship Number 2 - The Female Orgasm (episode 81) This episode was extra special for the LADIES! Listen, these days, there's a lot of faking it going on when it comes to women having orgasms. But let's get real. My guest, intimacy expert Julie Sibert, and I are answering your questions and demystifying the important yet often overlooked female orgasm. The truth is there are many women who have never, and I do repeat, never experienced an orgasm. There are also women who “fake it til they make it.” But these situations are living below the pleasure potential that married sex provides. This top 10 episode of 2022 will teach you all about orgasms and how to get yours right. Listen to The Female Orgasm Number 1 - Why Lysa TerKeurst Called Quits on Her Marriage (episode 73) This was the top 10 episode of 2022. Lysa TerKeurst, the founder of Proverbs 31 Ministries, recently filed for divorce from her husband, Art TerKeurst, because of repeatedly breaking their marriage vows/covenant. In a raw and real Instagram post, Lysa discretely details her thought process in ending her marriage. Sometimes enough is enough. Many Christian marriages experience infidelity, sadly, and many betrayed women, especially, don't know how to end their marriages because they've been taught to stay no matter what.

The Female Orgasm: Get'n Real - with Julie Sibert Listen, these days, there's a lot of faking it going on when it comes to women having orgasms. But let's get real. My guest, intimacy expert Julie Sibert, and I are answering your questions and demystifying the important yet often overlooked female orgasm. The truth is there are many women who have never, and I do repeat, never experienced an orgasm. There are also women who “fake it til they make it.” But these situations are living below the pleasure potential that married sex provides. Learning to Communicate Your Needs Julie shares her journey in learning to openly communicate her sexual needs and desires with her husband and how that intentionality revolutionized her sex life. She also discusses ways that women can take the initial step from awkward conversations in order to help her husband learn her body and how she would like to receive pleasure. Talking about sex in an honest yet wholesome way is crucial for wholehearted marriages. We have got to get over the shame, stigma, and fear of “going there” in these conversations. Orgasms are a part of sex, and not just for the man. Need I repeat? If you are a husband, and your wife is not consistently experiencing orgasms, it's time for you to re-evaluate. Married and dare I say, Christian married sex, needs to be mutually beneficial. Around the 14 minute mark, Julie discusses how faking orgasms brings a lie into your marriage. That one statement is worth an offering. I'm serious. You've got to listen to the full episode! Our hope is that after listening to today's episode, you never experience boring sex again. Not every encounter has to end with utter euphoria, but both spouses should give and receive sexual pleasure on a consistent basis. Want to listen to more wholesome advice on married sex?

We attend church, we pray together, we are best friends & we are very happy! I, however, I have one issue. Whenever I and my husband are intimate I feel guilty. I sometimes wonder if it's because I grew up in a strict Christian household where I was taught sex was basically a bad thing until marriage & that me and my husband made the mistake of not waiting until we were married to be intimate, about 7 months before our wedding we both became super convicted and decided to stop being intimate with each other. Now that we are married and living out gods design for marriage I want to be able to enjoy the intimacy God has planned for us without feeling like I'm sinning even when I am not, I thought when we quit being intimate before marriage it would solve my guilty conscience but it hasn't & I am over always feeling this overwhelming guilt. I know it's In my head and that it's something I need to work through. I have asked for forgiveness and prayed a lot about this specific topic but I am struggling to find the relief I am wishing for.
