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.

Too often, societal pressures push women into roles where productivity and selflessness overshadow the importance of personal joy and connection. Instead of being encouraged to embrace their desires and fully experience their bodies, many women find themselves burdened by guilt, expectation, and a sense of duty to provide for others. This episode uncovers how these ingrained beliefs create barriers to genuine enjoyment in the bedroom, and lead women to feel a low desire for sex.
Janna shares practical steps for rediscovering joy in life, helping women reconnect with their bodies and desires. By breaking free from the notion of how they "should" act in bed, listeners can learn to cultivate a fulfilling sexual experience rooted in authenticity and self-love.

I have some very exciting news! After years of requests from thousands of women, I'm finally ready to launch a DIY video and journaling program specifically designed for women. This course is your first gentle step toward gaining clarity about your feelings toward sex.
Wanting It More Foundations aims to empower women through reflection and observation. You'll experience freedom and relief as you discover your true self and understand your needs.
You don’t need to involve your partner in this process. The course is designed for you to work at your own pace, featuring simple journaling prompts, exercises, and a moderated discussion forum where you can interact with other women if you choose.
Since this is the inaugural round, I’m offering a very special bonus. This will be the only session of the WIM Foundations course I'll be teaching live in, giving you the opportunity to ask questions and participate in discussions with me. Plus, I’m offering a one-time-only price of $200 USD (the regular price is $300 USD).

Janna is joined by licensed professional counselor Dr. Jake Porter to explore the complex dynamics of shame and secrecy surrounding pornography and sex addiction in relationships. They discuss the role of denial and defense mechanisms while emphasizing the value of the therapeutic disclosure process. Listeners will receive advice on where to seek help and how to navigate the healing journey.
Dr. Porter shares insights on the importance of being honest with your partner and the potential damage caused by withholding information. He explains why addressing the root causes of addiction—rather than simply stopping the behavior—is essential for the health of the relationship. Finally, he discusses the rewards of this transformative journey, highlighting how embracing vulnerability can lead to personal growth and enrich your relationship.

Janna has an eye-opening conversation with Dr. Ashley Southard, a licensed marriage and family therapist of 22 years, about her work helping overfunctioning women in love with underfunctioning partners.
They discuss what this dynamic looks like for both women and men, why women tend to take on the emotional labour for both partners, and what women can do to self-restore inside or outside of the relationship.

We are re-airing this episode in which Janna gathers with real couples who have completed the Doing It Together program and asks, “In what beneficial ways has the program impacted your life or marriage that you didn't expect?”. You'll hear from both men and women on what they learned and how they are applying this new knowledge to strengthen themselves, their marriages, and their intimate relationship with one another.
This recording is from the last round before the name change, so that is why you’ll hear some people refer to the program with the old name- Wanting It More or WIM for short.
