In this vulnerable follow-up to episode 90 ("Grace for Two"), we (Kiara and Jordan) are opening up about one of the most challenging parts of our marriage: navigating pain with sex due to pelvic floor tension (Vaginismus), wrestling with sexual shame, and learning how to build real intimacy when it doesn’t come naturally.

This conversation is raw and emotional. We’re not experts—we’re just two people trying to love each other well through pain, confusion, and grace. We talk about how our bodies and our hearts have been shaped by unmet expectations, and the slow, sacred work of healing together.

If you’ve ever felt broken, ashamed, or alone in your intimacy struggles, this one is for you. You’re not alone. And you are so deeply loved—even in the hard places.

💬 In This Episode, We Talk About:

• What vaginismus is and how it’s impacted our marriage

• The emotional weight of painful sex and disconnection

• The shame we carried from our past and how we’re unlearning it

• What real intimacy looks like beyond just sex

• The things that have helped—and what hasn’t

• How we’re choosing grace over performance, day by day
