Dec 25, 2019

This episode marks the end of our month on sexuality and intimacy! The conversations this past month have been incredible and have truly informed our thinking about sexuality and intimacy. We’ve grown and learned so much, and we hope you have too!

 

Today, we will be ‘Going Deep’ and sharing our own lessons and experiences with sexuality and intimacy. We talk about challenging our growth edges as a couple, how our past sexual experiences have informed us, what attraction is to us, and the importance of setting boundaries. We take you back to the beginning of our relationship and what that looked like, share stories of our past, and talk about what keeps us feeling safe and stable in our relationship even when we’re pushing our comfort zones. We also talk about how you can better your own relationship both sexually and intimate-wise and what kinds of risks, within reason, you can take as a couple to open up your hearts to new experiences (even ones that feel a little scary!)
