Intimacy isn’t about talking more, sharing more, or trying harder in relationships.

For many people, intimacy feels confusing, uncomfortable, or inconsistent — even when they genuinely want closeness. And that’s not because something is wrong with them.

In this episode of Baggage Be Gone: Healing Hearts and Minds, Tammy Machmali explores why intimacy often feels hard at the subconscious level, especially during Valentine’s Week when closeness comes into focus.

You’ll learn:

• Why intimacy can trigger discomfort even when love is present
• How the subconscious mind decides what feels safe and when to pull away
• Why insight and awareness alone don’t change intimacy patterns
• How emotional baggage and identity shape who we choose and how close we allow ourselves to get

This episode isn’t about dating advice or fixing yourself.
It’s about understanding what’s happening at the root — in the subconscious mind — so intimacy can stop feeling threatening and start feeling natural.

If you’ve ever wondered why closeness feels harder than it should, this conversation will help you understand yourself with more clarity and compassion.
