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

335: Overcoming Emotional Hurdles in a Relationship Pt. 2
The Connected Life
06/02/25 • 58 min
Most of us never learned how to share pain in a way that brings us closer. Instead, we vent, shut down, accuse, or spiral into fear—hoping to feel understood but often creating more disconnection in the process. But it doesn’t have to be that way.
In part two of this two-part series, Justin and Abi get practical about how to communicate pain in a way that invites connection. They unpack how all-or-nothing language, judgment, and emotional weaponization drive partners further apart. They also share vulnerable stories about the moments they got it wrong, the mindset shifts that changed everything, and the practical tools they now use to stay safe and soft—even in conflict.
Lastly, they explore the power of self-awareness, inward communication, emotional nuance, and learning to narrate what’s really happening inside.
If you’ve ever wanted to be heard without hurting someone, or feel safer sharing your emotions without shutting your partner down, this episode is a powerful guide for building the kind of trust and closeness you’ve always wanted. Don’t miss out!

250: Creating Clarity in Relationships
The Connected Life
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!

The Connected Life
02/18/19 • 49 min
Road Trip!!! Get ready as we begin to explore the first year of Justin and Abi’s marriage! Beginning with the first two stops of a completely unorganized road trip, we learn all about how this was the year of Justin having meltdowns, how a potty stop at a tree farm reignited connection, and how the "don’t go to bed angry" advice was more damaging than helpful.
Join us for some real talk about a few of our first fights as a married couple and how we began to learn to navigate expectations, gain courage to face our fears, and pursue connection through laughter and play.

313: Stop the Resolutions and Start the Transformation
The Connected Life
12/30/24 • 62 min
For many, New Year's resolutions are a pact to change areas of our lives, hoping that those changes will make us more worthy and lovable. Pushing ourselves to transform from a place of lacking self-worth in hopes of gaining acceptance is unproductive and defeating in the long run. So, is there a better way to create lasting change?
In this episode, Abi and Justin ditch traditional New Year’s resolutions and share insights on achieving lasting, tangible transformation. They explore how embracing your inherent value and approaching change from a place of worth—not to earn it—creates momentum and meaningful results. They also highlight the importance of desiring self-love as a foundation for healthy transformation and how this approach drives you to remove obstacles that hinder love, opening yourself up to a lifestyle of wholeness.
If you’ve experienced unsuccessful approaches to shifting your life in the New Year, then this episode will give you hope, clarity, and direction on how to change things up in the year to come!
