In this Bonus Episode, Anna Brit Voorn from The Coaching Partners and I share our personal experiences and insights on how to reignite intimacy and bring fresh energy into your sex life as a couple.

This conversation is raw and honest—a true reflection of what many couples experience, how women often feel, and where men typically stand when it comes to sex.

We also offer practical tips and advice to help you reconnect, play, enjoy each other’s company, and create fulfilling, joyful intimacy.

Because sharing is caring, we encourage you to open up—about what you like, how you feel, and even your fantasies. Let go of shame and fear, and instead plant the seeds of pleasure, trust, and connection.

Takeaways:

• Intimacy is not just physical; it involves vulnerability and emotional connection.
• Communication is essential for reigniting sexual desire.
• Women often need emotional closeness to feel sexually engaged.
• Playfulness can breathe new life into a couple’s sex life.
• Talking about fantasies can deepen intimacy and mutual understanding.
• Makeup sex can be a way to reconnect—but should be approached with care.
• Understanding each other’s love languages can improve relationship dynamics.
• Creating a safe space to talk about sex is crucial.
• Amidst busy lives, couples should prioritize their sexual connection.
• Sexual preferences can evolve over time—and that’s okay.

Enjoy listening!

The conversation today is full of tips, real examples, and ideas to help navigate difficult moments in couple relationships.

My guest Anna Brit Voorn from The Coaching Partners and I discuss the causes of disconnection in relationships and how to repair them.

Anna Brit shares the importance of communication, vulnerability, and understanding emotional responses.

We explore relationship dynamics, including how childhood experiences, self-awareness, and gratitude shape intimacy.

It's often necessary to seek help when repeating the same patterns isn’t delivering the results you want.

Takeaways

- Couples who communicate well and seek adventure together are less likely to need coaching.

- Disconnection often stems from unresolved conflicts and emotional triggers.

- Vulnerability is essential for creating deeper connections in relationships.

- Different individuals respond to conflict in unique ways, often influenced by their upbringing.

- Taking a pause during heated moments can help regulate emotions and facilitate better communication.

- Recognising patterns of disconnect can lead to more effective conflict resolution.

- Past experiences and triggers can significantly impact current relationship dynamics.

- Where to find valuable insights and tools for improving relationships.

- Practicing gratitude can shift focus from negative to positive aspects of a partner.

- Children learn about relationships from observing their parents, making it crucial for parents to model healthy behaviours.
