    Six Intimacy Skills Every Catholic Woman Needs Before Marriage with special guest Amy Davenport | Episode 91

    Most of us were never taught how to be women in relationships. We’ve learned how to hustle, achieve, and stay strong—but not how to soften, receive, trust, or actually let ourselves be loved.  Today’s guest, Catholic relationship coach Amy Davenport, learned these lessons through years of marital struggle and a powerful, grace-filled transformation that changed everything. In this conversation, Amy shares the six intimacy skills that helped restore her marriage and reconnect her to her feminine heart—skills she wishes every Catholic woman knew before she ever said yes to a man.  Whether you’re single, dating, or preparing for marriage someday, this episode will give you a hopeful, refreshing vision for love: one rooted in trust, emotional safety, and becoming the woman God created you to be.

    From Shame to Sacred: Reclaiming God’s Design for Intimacy—with special guest Ellen Holloway | Episode 85

    Let’s be honest: most of us didn’t grow up with clear, honest, or healthy conversations about intimacy. The result? Shame, confusion, and wounds that often follow us into dating, engagement, and marriage. That’s why we’re so grateful for our guest, Ellen Holloway. Ellen is a Catholic marriage and intimacy educator who helps women deepen connection in their marriages while staying grounded in Church teaching. She’s the creator of courses like The Orgasm Course for Catholic Women and The Catholic Sex Positions Guide, which provide practical, respectful, and fully Catholic support for growing in love and desire. Through her company, Vines in Full Bloom, Ellen equips Catholic women to embrace God’s design for love, intimacy, and pleasure in marriage. She’s also the host of the Charting Toward Intimacy podcast. In this conversation, Ellen helps us peel back the myths, look at God’s design for intimacy, and discover how it’s meant to be sacred, healing, and good. You’ll leave with practical tools, a lighter heart, and maybe even a sense of relief: you’re not broken, and you’re not alone. ✨Explore Ellen's Resources  For the single gals: In His Image - A Catholic Young Woman's Guide to the Body and Sex is a transformative course designed exclusively for young Catholic women seeking a profound understanding of their bodies and relationships in alignment with their faith.
