    45. Why Intimacy Fades in Long-Term Relationships (And How to Get It Back) | Dr. Tabitha

    Intimacy isn’t just about physical connection. It’s about trust, safety, and the ability to fully show up as yourself in a relationship. In this episode, I sit down with Dr. Tabitha, psychotherapist and intimacy expert, to explore why intimacy often fades in long-term relationships, and what it actually takes to rebuild it. We dive into how many women slowly disconnect from themselves through over-giving, people-pleasing, and self-abandonment, and how that disconnection directly impacts desire, attraction, and emotional closeness. Dr. Tabitha shares how intimacy is deeply connected to the nervous system, and why feeling safe in your body and within yourself is the foundation for real connection with your partner. This conversation explores: Why intimacy is more about emotional safety than physical connection How self-abandonment leads to resentment and disconnection The role of trauma and the nervous system in relationships Why desire doesn’t disappear, it becomes dormant How reconnecting with yourself is the key to reigniting intimacy This isn’t about trying to fix your partner or force connection. It’s about coming back to yourself first, so intimacy can naturally follow.

    44. Why Asking for More Feels So Hard — And What Your Anger Is Really Telling You | Solo Episode

    Feeling like a burden isn’t always something someone explicitly told you. It’s often a quiet, internalized belief shaped over time, through subtle messages, expectations, and the roles you learned to play in relationships. In this solo episode, I unpack what it really means to carry the belief that you are “too much,” and how that shows up in your relationships, especially in long-term partnerships. We explore how many women were conditioned to prioritize others, stay small, and feel grateful for the bare minimum, and how that leads to self-abandonment, resentment, and difficulty asking for more. I also dive into the deeper layers of: Why you feel like a burden even if no one said it directly How this belief impacts your ability to receive love, care, and attention The anger and resentment that build when your needs go unmet Why that anger is actually a healthy signal, not something to suppress The patterns we co-create in relationships without realizing it This isn’t about blaming your partner or trying to change them. It’s about turning inward, understanding your patterns, and learning to receive what you truly deserve. If you’ve ever felt like asking for more makes you “too much,” this episode is for you.

    43. Perfectionism, Real Time (and Why I Almost Didn’t Record This) | Solo Episode

    I sat down to record a completely different episode — and perfectionism took over. So instead of waiting until it felt polished or “ready,” I hit record anyway. In this solo episode, I talk honestly about what perfectionism really looks like in real life: the fear of judgment, the pressure to perform, and the ways it shows up in our relationships and self-criticism — even when we’ve done a lot of inner work. This is an unscripted, real-time reflection on showing up imperfectly, practicing authenticity before you feel ready, and remembering that healing isn’t linear. If you’ve been waiting until things feel perfect to begin, this episode is for you.

    42. Building a Life That Aligns With Your Calling | Vanessa Mitera

    For many women, entrepreneurship isn’t just about building a successful business, it’s about honoring a deeper calling while navigating the realities of family, faith, and personal identity. In this episode, I sit down with Vanessa Mitera, founder of Eden and Empire, a membership community that supports Christian women entrepreneurs in building businesses aligned with their faith, purpose, and impact. We explore what it really looks like to integrate faith, family, and entrepreneurship in a way that feels sustainable and aligned. Vanessa shares how many women struggle to reconcile ambition with their spiritual values, and why building a business that honors both can become a powerful path to clarity, purpose, and personal growth. This conversation is about more than business strategy. It’s about identity, calling, and learning to build a life that reflects what truly matters.

    41. Demystifying Non-Monogamy and How You Can Expand Your Relationship | Jessica Williams

    Non-monogamy is often misunderstood as being about sex, freedom, or avoiding commitment, but in this conversation, we unpack why it’s actually about radical honesty, emotional regulation, and personal autonomy. In this episode, I sit down with Jessica Williams, LCSW, a therapist who specializes in consensual non-monogamy and polyamory, to explore how discussions around non-monogamy often reveal deeper truths about emotional honesty, self-abandonment, power dynamics, and autonomy, even for women who fully choose monogamy.  It’s about what happens when women in long-term relationships stop suppressing their needs, desires and questions just to “keep the peace.” Connect with Jessica: Check out Jessica’s Website Connect with Francesca: - Follow me on Instagram @lovewithfrancesca - Join our free Reclaiming Love Community and get connected with other women just like you looking to figure out whether they should stay or leave their long-term relationship! ✨ Don’t forget to subscribe, rate, and review the podcast.

    40. What Premarital Coaching Can Teach Us About Lasting Partnership | Kory McBride

    Do we really know what we’re signing up for when we say “yes” to a marriage? In this episode of Love with Francesca, I sit down with premarital counselor, Kory McBride, to talk about why premarital counseling isn’t just for engaged couples, it’s one of the most powerful tools for women already in long-term relationships who want clarity, emotional fairness, and a healthier way forward. In this episode, we explore: ✨ The real purpose of premarital counseling (and why it’s not just for engaged couples) ✨ The difference between infatuation and choosing love with your eyes open ✨ How expectations, especially unspoken ones, damage relationships ✨ What it actually means to “grow together” versus over-functioning or fixing ✨ The giver-taker dynamic and why over-giving leads to resentment ✨ Why boundaries and “rules of engagement” matter during conflict ✨ How childhood, past relationships, and role models shape how we love ✨ Why winning an argument is never worth damaging the relationship Whether you’re dating, engaged, married, or reflecting on your relationship patterns, this episode offers grounded wisdom and practical insight into building a partnership that lasts.

    39. Stay or Leave? Learning to Trust Yourself in Long-Term Relationships | Solo Episode

    How do you know when it’s time to stay in a relationship…and when it’s time to walk away? In this solo episode of Love with Francesca, I reflect on the lessons 2025 taught me, both personally and professionally, about long-term relationships, self-trust, and one of the most loaded questions women ask themselves: “Do I stay, or do I leave?” This episode isn’t about quick answers or external advice. It’s about learning how to trust yourself, read the situation clearly, and make decisions that protect your self-respect, self-worth, and future. Whether you’ve been questioning your relationship for weeks, months, or years, this episode offers grounded guidance, reflection questions, and reassurance that you’re not broken for being unsure, you’re human.

    38. Healing Beyond Betrayal: Alignment, Energy & Reclaiming Your Power | Jesseca Banchy

    What if the pain you’ve been through wasn’t meant to break you—but to realign you? In this episode of Love with Francesca, I sit down with holistic healer and former ER/ICU nurse Jesseca Banchy to explore what healing looks like when we go beyond coping and into true alignment. Drawing from both science and spirituality, Jesseca shares how emotional trauma, infidelity, and unprocessed pain live in the body—and how women can begin to rebuild trust, safety, and power from within. This conversation is about more than surviving betrayal or trauma. It’s about creating an internal foundation strong enough to hold truth, freedom, and joy. If you’ve experienced betrayal, emotional trauma, or feel disconnected from your body, intuition, or sense of self, this episode offers a grounded, compassionate perspective on healing that honors both the emotional and energetic layers of your experience.
