#11: Intimacy Isn’t Just Sex—Here’s How to Rebuild the Spark When It Starts to Fade
No one tells you that intimacy won’t always come easily. One day you’re all over each other, and the next, life gets busy, stress takes over, and the spark feels more like a flicker.
In this episode, Nichole and Ben open up about the quiet ways intimacy fades—phones in the bedroom, mismatched libidos, low self-esteem, unresolved tension—and what couples can do to find their way back to each other. From the post-honeymoon slump to real conversations about libido, connection, and emotional safety, they share what’s helped them keep intimacy alive in the middle of parenting, pressure, and modern distractions.
They also talk about how health, hormones, and evolving sexual needs can impact desire—and why communication (even when it’s awkward) is everything.
If you’ve been feeling more like roommates than lovers, or just miss that deep connection you once had, this episode will help you reset. Because intimacy isn’t just about sex—it’s about feeling wanted, understood, and close.

#13: When Sorry Isn’t Enough—And What It Really Takes to Heal
Apologies and forgiveness are some of the hardest—and most necessary—parts of any relationship. But what if your partner doesn’t say sorry the way you need them to? Or what if you're holding on to resentment that’s quietly eating away at your connection?
In this episode, Nichole and Ben have an honest conversation about the unspoken weight of apologies in love. They unpack the different ways we give and receive apologies, how our childhood shapes the way we handle conflict, and why some people apologise too much—while others never do.
They also explore the harder side of healing: forgiving when no apology comes, letting go of resentment, and breaking the patterns that keep us stuck in old stories.
This one’s for anyone who’s been hurt, or who’s hurt someone else—and doesn’t quite know how to move forward. Because healing isn’t about being perfect. It’s about being willing.
