How to Reignite Intimacy By Creating Little Doorways to Connection w/Ashleigh Renard
Many couples find themselves in a place where the playfulness, flirtiness and intimacy in their relationship completely shuts down. You know you love each other and want to be together, but you just don’t feel as connected as before.
Reigniting those exciting fun feelings can feel really hard, but what if we could do it by simply opening up little doorways of connection?
How do we reimagine connection and communication in our relationships both inside and outside of the bedroom? In this episode, I’m joined by the creator of the viral How to Keep Monogamy Hot video series, and author of Swing, Ashleigh Renard. She shares how couples who feel shut off from each other can find playfulness again.
We all have these pre-set expectations about marriage. Let’s just imagine the playbook we’re each playing by is the worst habits of our in-laws and our own parents.
