243. Finding Connection in the Middle of the Mess


Listen Later

What happens to intimacy when everything falls apart?

This week, Francie opens the door wide into her real life…hospital visits, mold in the ceiling, special needs parenting, and emergency back surgery. In the middle of it all, she shares a raw and redemptive truth: sexuality isn't just for the easy seasons. It's a God-designed gift for the hard ones too.

"I used to think sex was about the mood and the lighting. Now I know, it's about survival. Connection. Healing."

Iintimacy can be a sacred source of strength, even when everything around you feels broken.

You'll hear: What Francie is walking through right now in her home and marriage How she and Wyatt are learning to lean into physical intimacy after surgery and through trauma Why our bodies need connection in times of stress and suffering A reframe of sexuality as a gift for healing, not just for romance

Whether your life feels overwhelming or just a little upside down, this episode will remind you: your body, your marriage, and your intimacy are not disqualified by struggle. They may actually be strengthened in it.

Let's keep growing. Check out Francie's new masterclass: Becoming Confident with Sexy Talk to help you grow in freedom and find your words in the bedroom.
