Do you ever hear people say, “We just fell out of love”? Perhaps you’ve even said it yourself. It’s easy to believe that love simply fades when life gets busy or tough. But here’s the truth: it’s a myth. Love doesn’t just slip away; it evolves. And understanding that evolution is the key to rekindling your relationship.

Welcome to Love Shack Live—the podcast for anyone standing at a relationship crossroads. If you’re facing daily conflicts, growing emotional distance, or wondering if it’s even possible to rebuild that deep connection, this show is for you. I’m Staci Bartley, relationship mentor, and I’m joined by my co-host and lover, Tom, and our daughter Brooke. Together, we guide you through what it takes to not only stay in love but thrive.

Today’s Big Question: Does love really fade over time, or is something else happening beneath the surface?

By the end of this episode, you’ll understand why love doesn’t disappear—it transforms. We’ll walk you through the steps you can take to reignite the connection with your partner right now—no waiting necessary. Maybe you’ve been waiting for love to return on its own. Today, we’ll show you how intentional actions can bring it back.

Curious? You should be. The answer might surprise you—stay with us.
