Letting Someone All the Way In: What We Really Mean by Emotional Intimacy

This week’s episode is a tender one — one that honestly surprised even me as I lived it.

Inside the episode, I share a brand-new break that happened in my marriage recently — a quiet, significant shift that exposed a dynamic I’ve lived with for years, often without fully realizing how much it impacted my heart.

You’ll have to tune in to hear exactly what happened. But more importantly, I want you to listen because this same dynamic could be quietly playing out in your marriage too — leaving you feeling lonelier, less connected, or even less drawn to your spouse without fully understanding why.

In this conversation, I’ll walk you through:

  • Why emotional intimacy often feels so elusive (especially with partners who think love means protection)
  • How emotional distance silently erodes connection and attraction over time
  • Why feeling sadness or longing is not a sign of weakness — but a sign that your heart is still alive and hopeful
  • How you can begin softening the walls between you and your spouse, even if they feel high right now

If you’ve ever wondered why you feel like you have most of your spouse—but not all of them—this episode is especially for you.

Your dream of deeper connection isn’t out of reach. And sometimes the first step is simply naming the ache you feel inside.

Come listen. Your heart will feel less alone.
