The Connected Life - 37: Understanding a Woman's Sex Drive
play

09/16/19 • 52 min

For many people, understanding a woman’s sex drive could be considered more valuable than a diamond mine! A woman’s sex drive can even seem as mysterious to a woman as it is to a man. Often times, men find themselves guessing what women want in the bedroom, and that kind of pressure can seriously kill the mood.

What if we told you that there was a road map that nobody talks about? Whether women want to admit it or not, one of the keys to that secret map are hormones! Understanding the role hormones play in the bedroom can make or break intimacy.

In this episode Abi and Justin are joined by Pietze as they shamelessly talk about the power of hormones and how they affect sex. For all the singles out there, this dose of hormonal reality is the perfect foundation for a future healthy relationship. If you’re married and want a better sex life, this episode is a must!

Dreaming for life is so often ineffective that most people find themselves hopeless and disappointed, and for good reason. People’s approach to dreaming can be haphazard and lofty.

In the final episode of 2021, Justin and Abi explore the necessity of reviewing our previous year through the lens of celebration and honesty. Looking back on what worked and what didn’t is the first step to breeding hope for the next year, while creating vision for what you want to see changed. They discuss how a foundation of humility is at the epicenter of a balanced approach to dreaming for life. They give practical tips on coming up with doable dreams, while fostering vision for bigger things and leave you with everything you need to launch into the life you want in 2022.

The Connected Life - 250: Creating Clarity in Relationships
play

10/16/23 • 59 min

For many of us, when considering letting people into our lives, they’re either all in or all out. Progressively letting people into our hearts is rare and when we do gradually let them in, we rarely have clarity on the terms governing the relationship. Because of this we can often feel anxious or easily betrayed, but what if the connections we build could be created around more deliberate conditions?

In this episode Justin and Abi explore the reasons they let people close to them, how they navigate setting expectations for others and themselves, what they do when a relationship needs adjusting, and how clarity creates a lifestyle of stability.

If you want to feel powerful in relationships, while expressing a heart of love and care for others, this episode is a must!

Have you ever "Hulked out"? Have you ever seen someone "Hulk out"? Somewhere inside all of us is a little person with the potential to become a big scary green monster. Anger is one the most commonly expressed human emotions. It is socially seen as both acceptable and shameful. Whether we know it or not we all have strong beliefs about anger that govern how we express ourselves and how we relate to the most intimate relationships in our lives.

In this episode Justin and Abi expose the ugliness of uncontrolled anger and it's ramifications in their lives and their relationship. They dive into the pain it created, how they found healing from its destruction, and discuss healthy expressions of anger.

The Connected Life - 112: 6 Key Phases of Faith

112: 6 Key Phases of Faith

The Connected Life

play

02/22/21 • 96 min

As humans we were designed to be progressively growing, evolving, and maturing. The process for this to happen can often look messy and feel very disrupting, especially in relation to faith. In order to express a life of mature love, however, this journey is a must.

In this episode Abi and Justin explore the six phases of faith with Australian author and poet, David Tensen. Together they begin tackling a cultural faith term that can have either scary or liberating connotations known as “deconstruction”. They examine the necessity of questioning your beliefs and how the unavoidable life breakdowns are a natural phase of life meant to bring freedom, if we’ll humble ourselves and embrace the invitation.

If you’ve ever had a faith crisis, or been concerned about someone who has, this is a must listen to and share episode!
