    Episode 12 - The Cost of Creating Our Dream Life, Part 2

    Healing is not about getting it “right.” It’s about staying devoted, even when it’s messy. In part two of this story, I share where my husband and I are now — what we’ve learned, and what we’re building after one of the hardest seasons in our marriage. We are orienting our lives and our partnership toward nervous system healing, both individually and together. We are creating space for ease, joy, and play alongside depth and devotion. And we’re remembering that Sacred Partnership is not about perfection — it’s about presence, repair, and choosing each other again and again. This episode explores: How we’re beginning to heal our nervous systems after years of stress The practices that help us regulate, repair, and return to love Why Sacred Partnership is as much about laughter and lightness as it is about depth The choice every couple has to keep walking forward, hand in hand Even the most devoted couples need support sometimes. My hope is that this story reminds you that you’re not alone — and that the tools of Sacred Partnership can be a lifeline in your hardest seasons. ❤️ Access your FREE Sacred Date Night Audio → ⁠https://healwithsaraholivia.com/date-night⁠   🔥 Work with me If you’re feeling the call to Sacred Partnership, enquire about The Sacred Partnership Portal here: ⁠https://healwithsaraholivia.com/connect-with-me⁠   🫶🏻Want to stay in touch? ⁠Follow me on Instagram⁠ ⁠Add me on Facebook⁠   🥰 Subscribe, rate, and share — and I’ll see you next week with even more magic, truth, and love.

    Episode 11 - The Cost of Creating Our Dream Life, Part 1

    Sometimes love isn’t enough to shield us from the weight of life. In this episode, I share the raw, unpolished story of the last two years in my marriage — a season that stretched us thin, where external stressors and relentless uncertainty took a real toll on our nervous systems and our partnership. It wasn’t intimacy we lost. We still desired and cherished each other.What we struggled with was reactivity, short fuses, and a lack of spaciousness in our life and in our bodies. This episode is about: The reality of what happens when stress and survival mode live in your relationship How reactivity, not lack of love, can drive disconnection Why even the strongest, most devoted couples aren’t immune to rupture The tools we began reaching for to keep choosing each other This is one of the most personal shares I’ve ever recorded — an offering of truth so you can feel less alone in whatever season you’re walking through. ❤️ Access your FREE Sacred Date Night Audio → ⁠https://healwithsaraholivia.com/date-night⁠   🔥 Work with me If you’re feeling the call to Sacred Partnership, enquire about The Sacred Partnership Portal here: ⁠https://healwithsaraholivia.com/connect-with-me⁠   🫶🏻Want to stay in touch? ⁠Follow me on Instagram⁠ ⁠Add me on Facebook⁠   🥰 Subscribe, rate, and share — and I’ll see you next week with even more magic, truth, and love.

    Episode 10 - The Key Ingredient Missing in Most Relationships: Deep Presence

    So many couples are doing everything right - the date nights, the holidays, the power moves - but something still feels like it’s missing. In this episode, Sarah reveals what that missing piece often is: deep, embodied presence - and how its absence erodes intimacy, sex, and connection in even the most “successful” relationships. After a raw update about her recent health crash and what it taught her about rest, radiance, and her own relationship, Sarah guides us into the core of what truly nourishes a devotional partnership. We explore: Why presence is a skill most of us were never taught - and why it matters more than communication How the absence of presence is a universal challenge we're facing right now Why even couples who love each other deeply often avoid being fully seen Four stages to build your capacity for deep presence — individually and together Naming the desire for presence and making it an intention Embodiment as the journey back to yourself Grounding your nervous system to hold deeper states of connection Expanding capacity for holding energy, truth, love and discomfort This episode is for the couples who want more than logistics and companionship. It’s for the ones who know that love can be a spiritual practice - and are ready to walk that path. Want to take this work deeper?The Sacred Partnership Portal is now open. Six months. Seven Portals.

    Episode 8 - You're not Broken, You have Responsive Desire

    This episode is a balm for anyone who has ever felt broken, guilty, or “not enough” because they don’t initiate seggs or feel desire spontaneously. If that’s you, you’re not alone — and you are not broken. This week, I open a deeply healing conversation about responsive desire: what it is, why it’s normal, and how to reclaim your pleasure and power within it. If you’ve ever felt like something was wrong with you for not wanting sex "out of the blue," this conversation is for you. You’ll hear about:✨ What responsive desire is and why it’s incredibly common, especially in long-term relationships✨ Why you don’t need to feel desire in order to have deeply pleasurable, sacred seggs✨ How centering pleasure over performance can change your sex life forever✨ The healing power of slowing down, de-centering penetration, and cultivating safety✨ Communication, consent, and the tender repair process when mismatched desire arises✨ What to do if you're feeling shut down, disconnected, or afraid your partner doesn’t understand This episode is the first in a two-part series, so stay tuned for next week’s conversation for partners of those with responsive desire. If this episode resonates, please share it, especially with anyone who needs the reminder that desire is a response, not a requirement. 📍 Mentioned in this episode: Come As You Are by Emily Nagoski The Erotic Blueprints by Jaiya ✨ Plus, if you're longing for support with this tender dynamic, you can book a one-off 1:1 session with me to work through it together.

    Episode 6 - Stop Doing This and Watch Your Partnership Flourish

    In this episode, I explore the dynamics of nurturing flourishing partnerships, getting as close as possible to unconditional love, emotional safety, and trust. I discuss the detrimental effects of conditionality in relationships and advocates for creating a supportive environment where both partners can thrive. In this heartfelt episode of the Sacred Partnership Podcast, I share my personal story of how I unknowingly brought one of the most damaging behaviours into my relationship - one that many of us are taught is “love” - and how it nearly cost us everything. We talk about:✧ Why pushing your partner to “be better” often backfires✧ The difference between support and control✧ How love, safety and trust allow your partner to grow into their highest potential✧ What it looks like to walk the path of sacred partnership even when it feels risky✧ How to replace conditionality with devotion, and pressure with presence This one is for anyone who’s ever feared that if they stopped pushing, everything would fall apart - and for everyone ready to create a relationship that brings out the best in both of you. ❤️ Access your FREE Sacred Date Night Audio → ⁠https://healwithsaraholivia.com/date-night⁠ 🔥 Work with me If you’re feeling the call to Sacred Partnership, enquire about The Sacred Partnership Portal here: ⁠https://healwithsaraholivia.com/connect-with-me⁠ 🫶🏻Want to stay in touch? ⁠Follow me on Instagram⁠ ⁠Add me on Facebook⁠ 🥰 Subscribe, rate, and share — and I’ll see you next week with even more magic, truth, and love.
