    How to Stay Connected as a Couple During the Holidays (Without the Stress) -- ep 68

    In this episode of Intimacy Evolution, we’re diving into one of the most common challenges couples face: staying connected during the holidays. Between family expectations, overloaded schedules, childhood programming, and unspoken obligations, the holiday season can easily create distance between partners. In fact, research shows that stress, increased responsibilities, and family dynamics contribute to a spike in relationship conflict during November and December. We explore the difference between obligation energy and choice energy—and how operating from obligation often leads to resentment, overwhelm, and emotional shutdown. You’ll hear how to shift into choice-based decision-making that supports intimacy, teamwork, and grounded connection. Inside this conversation, we unpack: How childhood traditions shape your current holiday expectationsWhy visiting family can trigger anxiety or old identity patternsHow to create shared traditions instead of defaulting to what you “should” doPractical ways to reduce stress, overstimulation, and schedule overloadA simple reflection process to identify what actually feels nourishingOur “scale system” for navigating events, in-law dynamics, and overstimulationHow to support each other when one partner feels overwhelmedWhy so many couples argue—or feel disconnected—during the holidaysHow to prioritize emotional closeness and partnership even during busy seasonsWhether you’re navigating family expectations, figuring out boundaries, or trying to prevent holiday burnout, this episode will give you the clarity and language to stay connected as a team. You’re not alone in this—holiday challenges are incredibly common. This episode will help you move through the season with more intention, compassion, and connection.

    Babe, Where’s Our Car? 20 Years Later — The Reunion, the Reflection, and the Chaos--ep 66

    What was supposed to be a simple trip down memory lane turned into a night we’ll never forget. In this episode, we share the full story of attending Bri’s 20-year high school reunion — the nostalgia, the unexpected emotions that came rushing in, and the wild twist that ended with us asking… “Babe, where’s our car?” Beyond the chaos, this night brought up some surprisingly deep reflections about identity, growth, and partnership. We talk about: ✨ The emotional rollercoaster of revisiting your past and seeing how far you’ve come ✨ How nostalgia can stir up old versions of yourself — and what to do when that happens ✨ Staying grounded as a couple when life throws curveballs (or your car disappears) ✨ Turning stressful moments into connection instead of conflict ✨ Finding humor and gratitude in the middle of absolute mayhem This one’s got it all — laughs, life lessons, and a good dose of “are you kidding me?!” energy. So buckle up (because apparently, we didn’t that night 🤦‍♀️) and join us for a story about how even the most chaotic moments can bring you closer — if you let them.
