Braving the Mountain

I Removed Intimacy From My Marriage + Here's What Happened


Listen Later

Have you ever felt like your marriage looked "fine" from the outside… but deep down, you were lonely, felt like you couldn't fully be yourself in your home, and holding it together with a smile on your face?

That was me.

In this episode, I share the story of removing intimacy from my marriage—not as punishment, but as a boundary that changed everything. From hunting trips that left me feeling invisible, to a separation that forced us both to look inward, and the decision that I was no longer available for the way things were—this is the real, messy truth about breaking patterns and finding your voice.

Here's what you'll hear:

✔️ Why "keeping the peace" cost me more than conflict ever would ✔️ The moment I stopped abandoning myself—and how it shifted my marriage ✔️ What removing intimacy taught me about my own worth (and why it made us closer) ✔️ Why boundaries aren't easy—but they create ease on the other side ✔️ How your kids feel the ripple effects of the relationship you model (even when you think it's "fine") Pretending everything is fine is like icing a cake that's still gooey in the middle.

And if you've been 'icing the cake' in your relationship instead of facing what's real—you are not alone. This conversation is for you.
