This episode is unique! Jenny, an influencer known as @princessturnedmom from Instagram reached out to me and asked if she could do a podcast takeover and ask me some questions from her audience. How fun!
This Q&A session is part one of two where we discuss sex and intimacy.
What We Cover in This Episode
Jenny Rose (@princessturnedmom) takes over the podcast to ask me real questions from her audience—the kind people are often too embarrassed to ask out loud. In this first half, we tackle some of the most common tensions couples face around intimacy.
We start with the husband who wants sex but skips the “touchy-feely” lead-up. My answer: what many men treat as a warm-up is actually her main event. Great lovers learn to enjoy the buildup, and meaningful touch should start long before the bedroom—a kiss before work, a hand on the back during the day.
Then we get into making intimacy a priority. I share honestly about my own twelve years of staying up late on my laptop while Emily fell asleep without me—and the vulnerable conversation that changed my habits. People make time for what matters, and yes, we talk about whether scheduling sex can actually build anticipation rather than kill it.
Key takeaways
- Foreplay isn’t a warm-up to the “main event”—for her, it often is the main event.
- Meaningful touch starts outside the bedroom, hours before intimacy.
- Persistently deprioritizing sex can be a symptom of avoidance elsewhere in the relationship.
- People make time for what matters; prioritizing intimacy is a choice and a habit.
- Scheduled intimacy, done right, can build anticipation instead of killing spontaneity.
