In this episode of 'Find Your Feminine Fire,' My husband Mark and I dive into the usual issues couples deal with, like feeling distant, having different sex drives, and lacking emotional closeness. We open up about their own experiences and offer real-life tips to dodge these problems, keep the intimacy alive, and bring back the spark in long-term relationships.
We also talk about why sexual health, good communication, and taking care of yourself are so important. The episode highlights how being creative and putting in effort are key to keeping a loving and lively relationship.
Key Takeaways from this Episode:
Staying Connected Takes Work: Relationships can easily fall into routine and disconnection, especially with busy schedules and life transitions. It’s crucial to actively work on staying connected with your partner through regular communication, shared activities, and quality time together.
Alone Time is Essential: Finding alone time as a couple, even when life is hectic, is vital. This could mean getting creative with scheduling or finding small moments to be together without distractions, such as morning coffee talks, walks, or even just hanging out in the kitchen.
Communication About Sexual Health: Open communication about sexual health issues like mismatched libidos or erectile dysfunction is important. These topics can carry shame but addressing them together can lead to finding solutions and strengthening your relationship.
Balancing Parenthood and Partnership: Balancing being parents and partners is challenging, especially when children are at home more often. It’s important to find ways to maintain your relationship, such as setting boundaries with children about needing adult alone time and involving them in understanding the importance of a healthy relationship.
Intentional Screen-Free Time: Reducing phone and screen time, especially during moments meant for connection, can significantly improve the quality of your interactions. Consider having electronic-free zones, like the bedroom, and leaving phones behind during dates or walks to stay present with each other.

In this episode of the 'Find Your Feminine Fire Podcast,' Amanda talks about what embodiment means and why it's important for better sex, intimacy, and connection. She explains how tuning into your body's wisdom can lead to real change. 
Amanda shares what she's learned from coaching at embodiment retreats in Costa Rica, focusing on the healing benefits of group work and the non-linear path of personal growth. She also covers the language of sensations and the perks of practices like breathwork and pleasure-focused activities, showing how these can make life more vibrant, connected, and fulfilling.
Key Takeaways from this Episode:
Embodiment Basics: Amanda talks about how embodiment means tuning into your body's wisdom, which helps improve sex, intimacy, and connection. It's about getting in touch with what's happening beneath the surface, not just what's in your head.
Healing in Groups: Being in a group can be super powerful for healing. Watching others grow and heal reminds you of your own potential. Plus, personal growth isn't a straight line—it's full of ups and downs, but you become more resilient over time.
Body Image Reality Check: Being around different body types in a group can help heal body image issues. The media often shows unrealistic body standards, so seeing real bodies helps you appreciate the beauty in diversity.
Language of Sensations: Learning to understand your body's language is key. Your body talks to you through sensations—like feeling tight, tingly, or heavy. Tuning into these sensations can help you stay present and enhance your pleasure.
Embodiment Practices: Practices like breathwork, dancing, and pleasure-focused activities help you connect with your body. These practices can lead to more creativity, better relationships, and overall well-being. Even simple things like noticing sensations can make a big difference.
