In this episode, I talk with Mark and Lynette, a married couple of 12 years who have lived full-time in an RV for about 11 years and whose work focuses on helping people break repeating life and relationship patterns. We explore how trauma, attachment wounds, and generational patterns can affect relationships, and Mark and Lynette explain their approach to intimacy: acknowledgements, radical acceptance, and “presence,” plus a framework they call “workability” (moving beyond right/wrong, compromise, and sacrifice).
They discuss making clear declarations about what you want, removing the language of “worthy,” and partnering as a team to address triggers by identifying past roots rather than finger-pointing. We also talk about receiving love, shame, and guilt reframes, men’s desire to give and feel useful, and practical intimacy distinctions, including how menopause changed their dynamic.
