For many women, the sexual relationship can be a complicated one. When you’re busy taking care of kids or other people a lot of the time, sex can start to feel like a chore or like one more person who wants something from you. Or it might be that you felt desire in the past but you can’t seem to find it now and wonder if it’s buried under a big pile of laundry or where it got lost.

You might feel like something is wrong with you that things aren’t as good in the bedroom as you feel like they should be. Or you might feel a lot of pressure around your sexual relationship that’s leaving you disconnected and unsure of what to do next.

In this episode of Relate-Able, we are talking with Ariel Finlinson, a sex educator, about how to move from pressure to passion in our sexual relationship with mindset shifts, small changes, and finding ways to build connection that feels right to you.

There is a lot of messaging coming at us from many different sources that tells us as women to shrink ourselves. This can be about the size of our bodies with constant pressure on women to be smaller or to lose weight or it can be about our presence with pressure to be accommodating, agreeable, to avoid conflict, or just in general to take up less space.

In this episode with Dr. Lauren Barnes, we talk about how this messaging to take up less space, both physically and emotionally, affects us and how we can use practical strategies to get more comfortable in our own bodies and in our own space and then how that in turn helps us deepen our relationships with other people.

This episode is a little different than the ones I usually share. I’m not teaching a new idea or giving you something new to think about. I’m not sharing any research directly in this one. Instead, I’m telling you a story—my story—and why it matters so much to the work we’ve been doing on this podcast.

I’m sharing this because for a long time I had a life that looked good on the outside, but inside I felt overwhelmed, disconnected, and unsure why everything felt harder than it should. If that sounds familiar to you, I hope this episode helps you feel a little less alone—and maybe helps you see what’s possible, too.

Most women crave deep, meaningful connection, so we pour ourselves into the people we love—caring, serving, sacrificing, and trying to meet everyone’s needs. And yet, so many of us end up feeling exhausted, disconnected, lonely, or unsure why all that effort doesn’t always seem to create the closeness we want. When that happens, we usually assume we need to give more, communicate better, or finally get everything figured out.

But there’s one crucial piece we’re missing: you have to belong to yourself in order to truly connect with others. This isn’t about self-care—it’s about autonomy. Knowing who you are, trusting yourself, and allowing yourself to be a whole person who loves others and owns herself.

When you’re neck deep in taking care of kids, demands at work, or getting everything done (and it never seems to all be done), it’s easy for the pieces of yourself that used to make you you to fade a little.

Or maybe something in your life has changed—the kids are growing up and need you less often, your job changed, a relationship dissolved, something happened that’s left you a little unsure of who you are now that your roles and responsibilities are different.

If you’re like so many other women, your self-concept may have become a little blurry and you’re not all that sure who you are anymore outside of the roles you play or the things you get done. Hobbies have slipped, preferences are vague or undefined, it’s easier to not make decisions and to just go with the flow…

But having a clear self-concept, knowing who you are really matters for your own well-being and for your relationships.

Luckily, gaining clarity can happen one small step at a time and those small steps can have powerful impacts (and be really fun).

December is a wild ride of emotions — so much to do, so much pressure, so draining and exhausting at times… and also so fun and exciting. We want to be enjoying the magic. And it all gets mixed together into one messy, beautiful, overwhelming month.

In this short episode, I'm sharing one small thing that I dropped from my list this week...and the relief it brought me.

And one super simple tradition that my family loves, that takes very little energy on my part.

If you’re craving even the smallest pocket of relief or ease this week, this episode might feel like a little exhale.

A reminder that you’re allowed to choose the simpler version… and you’re allowed to put something down.

When you’re the magic maker, it can be easy to end the season feeling more frantic and frazzled than calm and connected. You want to create magic for your people but you are exhausted. And it would be nice to feel the magic too.

This episode is a followup to episode 9 about a simple mindset shift that helps you feel more connected to your people, but this time we’re talking about how you treat yourself. And we’re putting it in a holiday context so that you can feel the magic this year too.

Connection with other people is one of the best parts of life, but sometimes we don't feel as connected as we wish we did. Sometimes our relationships feel surface level or superficial and many people feel lonely—even when surrounded by people.

On top of that, many of us feel incredibly busy and sometimes overwhelmed. We'd like better connection with other people, but we are already pouring so much into caring for others that it feels like what more can we do?

In this conversation with Dr. Rebecca Clarke, we discuss a way to change the level of connection you feel...that has nothing to do with adding more to your to-do list and can be done anytime, anywhere in about one minute.

If you had a day entirely to yourself with absolutely no expectations of productivity on you — no chores to do, no one else’s needs to see to, now worries that you weren’t getting enough done, just you and your time and whatever you wanted to do — what would you do?

And how do you feel when you think about it? Like it would be a dream come true? Or does it make you anxious (because for so many of us, rest feels like a luxury we have to earn — not something we’re simply allowed to have)?

We already talked in episode 5 about doing it all and still not feeling like it’s enough. We talked about why we sometimes feel that way—how easy it is to tie our sense of self-worth to getting things done so that feeling productive feels like safety and rest feels like risk.

Today we’re doing to build on the why behind not feeling like enough and putting it into permission to act. Permission to do less and lose the guilt and even find joy in doing just that.

You have a good life — and you know it. You’ve got people you love and people who love you back. You’ve got opportunities, routines, responsibilities. From the outside, everything looks fine.

But lately, it feels like you’re running on empty — doing all the right things, carrying all the right responsibilities — and still feeling strangely disconnected.

In this episode, we’re talking about a quiet pattern that can erode our sense of self and the connection we feel with others. It’s called self-silencing — the habit of quieting your needs, opinions, or desires to keep the peace or meet expectations. Most of us don’t even realize we’re doing it. But over time, it leaves us feeling disconnected — from our people, and from ourselves.
