It starts as a quiet shift. The late-night touch you pull away from. The dishes left in the sink. The constant list running in your head. Until one day you realize, you haven’t had sex in weeks. Maybe months. Maybe longer.

Join Anna and Tim as they dive into the raw, unfiltered truth of what really happens to desire in long-term relationships. From perimenopause and mental load to resentment, health scares, and just pure exhaustion, they break down the slow unraveling of intimacy and why so many couples quietly drift apart in the bedroom. This isn’t a how-to. It’s a get-honest.

This Episode Covers:

  • What “desire drift” actually looks and feels like
  • The impact of stress, mental load, and chronic resentment
  • Why novelty matters more than you think
  • How sex changes after kids, chemo, and menopause
  • The difference between physical and emotional foreplay
  • Unspoken expectations that kill arousal
  • Real-life stories from their own dry spells
  • Five evidence-based ways to rekindle intimacy

Until next time, here's to deeper connections and personal growth.
Mad love!
