    Ep. 132 -How Often Should You REALLY Be Having S*x in Your Relationship?

    Inside This Episode, We’re Covering: 💭 Are we having enough s*x?💭 Does our intimacy level mean something is “off” in our relationship?💭 What’s considered “normal” when it comes to physical connection? If you’ve ever found yourself overthinking intimacy in your relationship, feeling pressure to hit a certain frequency, or wondering if something is “wrong” because your s*x life doesn’t look like other people’s, this episode is for you. Today, we’re getting real AF about the biggest myths surrounding s*x in relationships, why there is no universal “right number,” and what actually determines a healthy, connected, and fulfilling s*x life. ✨ The truth about frequency—why chasing an arbitrary number is actually damaging your connection.✨ The real reasons intimacy fades in relationships (hint: it’s rarely just about sex).✨ How self-confidence, body image, and stress impact your sex drive more than you realize.✨ The emotional side of intimacy—how safety, trust, and everyday connection influence your desire.✨ Why physical intimacy starts outside the bedroom and how to reignite the spark without pressure. S*x is not a performance. It’s not something you should feel pressured to check off a list. And in this episode, we’re diving deep into how you can stop obsessing over numbers, rebuild connection, and create a sex life that actually feels good for both of you. 🎧 Hit play now & let’s talk about what truly makes intimacy work in a relationship. 👉 If you love this episode, DM me “INTIMACY” on Instagram to dive even deeper into this conversation. 💬 What’s your take on this topic?

    Ep. 131 - Letting Go of Timelines, Protecting Your Peace, and Fully Stepping Into Who You Are

    At some point, we all feel the weight of society’s expectations—the pressure to hit certain milestones by a certain age, the constant comparison to others, and the feeling of being behind in life. But here’s the truth: you are not behind, because there is no set timeline for success, love, or happiness. In this episode, I’m reflecting on turning 35 and sharing the biggest lessons I’ve learned about growth, gratitude, and the beauty of evolving on your own terms. Here’s what we’re diving into today: 💡 The Toxic Myth of Timelines – Who actually made these “rules” about where we should be by a certain age? Why do we let them define our self-worth? It’s time to challenge the narrative that you’re behind just because your path doesn’t look like someone else’s. 💡 Letting Go of the Pressure to Have It All Figured Out – The moment I stopped forcing things to happen on a certain schedule, everything started falling into place. I’ll share how releasing control and trusting my own timing changed everything for me. 💡 The Power of Boundaries & Saying No Without Guilt – The biggest shift I made in my 30s? Learning that boundaries are an act of self-love—not selfishness. If you’ve ever struggled with people-pleasing, overcommitting, or feeling drained by relationships, we’re talking about why this is the key to protecting your peace. 💡 How Comparison & Social Media Mess With Our Minds – We see people getting engaged, having kids, buying houses, and suddenly feel like we’re not enough. But what if we stopped measuring our lives against someone else’s highlight reel and started focusing on what actually fulfills us? 💡 Becoming the Most Confident, Grounded Version of Yourself – At 35, I finally feel like I know who I am, what I bring to the table, and what I will and won’t tolerate. But this didn’t happen overnight—it took years of self-reflection, healing, and unlearning. I’ll share what has truly helped me step into my confidence. 💡 Why Thriving is About Alignment, Not Perfection – It’s not about having the perfect career, relationship, or bank account. It’s about waking up every day feeling like you’re living in a way that feels right for you. I’ll talk about how to shift your mindset from chasing success to actually feeling successful in your own life. ✨ If you’ve ever felt behind, stuck, or like you’re still figuring things out—this episode is for you.✨ 🎧 Listen now & let’s talk about what it really means to thrive at any age. And if this episode resonates, send me a DM, share it with a friend, and if you’re ready to step into your own transformation, check out my 1:1 coaching or grab my Emotional Intimacy Workbook—because the most important relationship you’ll ever have is the one with yourself. ❤️ Connect with me: 🌐 Work together: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://stan.store/Therelationshipboss⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ 📸 Instagram: @therelationshipboss 🎵 TikTok: @relationshipboss 📧 Email: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠christinamarie@therelationshipboss.com⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠

    Ep. 125 - Being ‘Perfect’ Won’t Stop Someone from Cheating

    In this episode of Relationship Boss Academy, we dive into the myth that being “perfect” will prevent your partner from cheating—and how this mindset leads to unnecessary pressure, insecurity, and emotional exhaustion. We break down the real reasons people cheat, and spoiler: it’s not because their partner wasn’t good enough. Chasing perfection isn’t the solution—it’s a trap that leaves you feeling unworthy, even when you’ve done everything “right.” We also explore how building emotional security within yourself—through self-love, self-trust, and healthy boundaries—plays a far more important role than trying to mold yourself into someone else’s ideal. A thriving relationship isn’t about being flawless but about authenticity, emotional connection, and trust. Here’s what we cover: The perfection trap: Why we think being thinner, prettier, or more agreeable will prevent betrayal. The real reasons people cheat: Emotional disconnection, unmet needs, and personal insecurities within the cheater—not the partner. Why tying your self-worth to someone else’s behavior is a losing game. How chasing perfection actually disconnects you from your partner by focusing on appearance over emotional intimacy. The importance of self-love and setting boundaries—because how you treat yourself sets the standard for your relationships. How to reclaim your power by building self-trust and showing up as your authentic self, no matter what someone else chooses. If you’ve ever felt like you needed to change who you are to keep someone from leaving, this episode is for you. Tune in for insights on how to heal, rebuild trust in yourself, and shift the focus from perfection to connection.
