Doing It Together: Making Sense of Low Libido, Sex, and Intimacy in Marriage.

Breaking the Cycle: Zoe's 30-Year Journey to Reclaim Intimacy | Ep. 121


Listen Later

In this week’s episode, Janna sits down with Zoe, who shares her deeply personal journey through 30 years of struggles with intimacy in her marriage. For years, what was meant to be a natural part of life became a chore—a cycle of guilt, resentment, and exhaustion that left her feeling broken. Even after the kids moved out, Zoe thought the situation would improve, but it didn’t. When her husband expressed his dissatisfaction, Zoe blamed herself, unsure how to break free from the pattern that had trapped her for decades.


But everything changed when Zoe found this podcast. In the episodes, she discovered she wasn’t alone. Other women were struggling with the same issues, and hearing their stories opened up new possibilities for her and her marriage. Today, Zoe feels a sense of freedom she never thought possible. Tune in to hear her story and learn how breaking the cycle is not only possible—it's transformative. If you’ve been feeling stuck, this episode could be the first step toward reclaiming your intimacy, joy, and connection.
