It can be an overwhelming feeling when a relationship has lost intimacy. It can be even harder to figure out how to get it back. Contrary to popular belief, it’s not as simple as having a weekly date night or scheduled sex on the calendar. We need to understand the type of intimacy we’re seeking (yes, there are different kinds of intimacy, not just sex) and be vulnerable to communicate those needs. But why does that sound so daunting?

In this episode my guest Daniela Stevens shares her insights on this vulnerable topic by helping us understand:

What intimacy means and the different kinds of intimacy in relationships
The impact of busy, fast-paced lives on intimacy in relationships
How conditioning and society has shaped our view of what intimacy is “supposed” to look like
What a sex practice is and why it might be right for your relationship
