The Intimate Marriage Podcast, with Intimacy Doctor Alexandra Stockwell, MD

All relationships undergo ups and downs and major changes, especially once you've been together for decades. Doctors Robyn Tiger and Eric Tiger are no strangers to that, having met early in their radiology careers when they quickly noticed how many parallels their lives had.

But when the stress of practicing medicine began impacting her emotional and physical well-being, Robyn's career took a turn…

In this episode, you'll hear:

• How Robyn transitioned from her medicine into stress-management coaching for physicians
• Shifts that Robyn has seen in herself and in her marriage since focusing on stress reduction and becoming a coach
• Shifts that Robyn sees in her husband, Eric, since he's retired
• What Robyn and Eric have each learned about themselves as a result of being married to one another
• Robyn's advice for anyone that is currently trapped by stress

Yesterday was Robyn and Eric's 30 year wedding anniversary! It's such an exciting milestone for this beautiful couple so please join me in wishing them a happy anniversary.

My mission is to change the cultural narrative around long-term relationships from one of ongoing stagnation and compromise to the delectable joy and deep gratification a couple feels while building passion and excitement on a daily basis.

For over two decades, I have been guiding men and women to bring pleasure and purpose back into all aspects of life— from the daily grind of running a household to creating ecstatic experiences in the bedroom!

I embarked on this journey not only for my patients but for myself and my own relationship. I wanted more for my life and my marriage than logistics, and discussions about childcare.

My husband and I had a solid, collaborative, and intimate marriage. Our foundation was strong and we could envision what it would be like to go from good to great, and were on our way there…

However, suddenly, things started to feel strange to me. I experienced a disconnect in our marriage but couldn't see a single reason why this was happening.

The cause, however, had nothing to do with a present-day occurrence; it was something from my husband's past that was creating the disconnect in our marriage. He didn't want it to. He didn't even know it was. Nevertheless, it was definitely happening.

In this episode, you'll hear:

• How I realized what was causing us to become disconnected
• What happened when I shared the theory with my husband
• Why challenging times with your spouse may have nothing to do with you
• A real client example of how past experiences can come up in your present

… and much more!

I'm hoping today's episode opens your eyes to seeing challenging times with your spouse in a whole new light, and also poses the question to you: do you have feelings coming up that might belong to another time in your life?

In intimate relationships, we must navigate our differences and often that happens through conflict. But imagine if we allowed these areas of tension to be a source of nourishment and expansion instead? What would become possible for both of you?

In today's episode of The Intimate Marriage Podcast, I invite Marie-Elizabeth Mali and Patrick Price (former clients of mine and relationship experts themselves) for a discussion on how they have navigated their differences with elegance and intention, in the areas of race, age & money. Join us as they share their profound insights on focusing on "connection over content" to build their rich, intentional, and growth-based relationship.

We discuss:

• Navigating the 3 major areas of difference in their relationship: age, money & race
• How dating outside their own race has impacted their partnership
• Code-switching - professionally v. in the relationship
• A mini-lesson from Patrick on attention in a relationship
• Transcending their age difference (and which one of them finds this more challenging)
• Marie-Elizabeth as the financial provider, upper limits & a pivotal moment for Patrick
• And a lot more…

When I became an entrepreneur, integrating my entrepreneur self and my physician self was complicated. I knew how to be either one, but being both didn't come naturally—I felt pulled in opposite directions.

But I knew I had to figure out how to be both a physician and a coach. And how to be a wife and an entrepreneur. Bringing our whole multi-passionate selves to something is part of creating successful careers and satisfying relationships!

In today's episode of The Intimate Marriage Podcast, I have a wonderful conversation with Dr. Pranay Parikh about bringing all parts of ourselves to a marriage (especially as multi-passionate people). We discuss the way his marriage developed alongside his career as a medical doctor and now, a real estate investor and entrepreneur.

Multi-passionate and looking for ways to improve your relationship? This one's for you!

We discuss:

• Dr. Parikh's unconventional journey to medicine
• Learning how to bring your whole self to your relationship
• Why Dr. Parikh is actually grateful for a rejection in his career
• How medicine has played a role in his marriage
• The dichotomy between safety & security, and freedom & autonomy (and how it could be affecting your relationship)
• And a lot more…

In this episode, Alexandra goes deep into the details of what is meant by "uncompromising intimacy". She defines compromise and describes the kind of relationship it creates: bland, neutral, comfortable companionship. In contrast, uncompromising intimacy leads to deep emotional connection, dynamic expansion, self-expression, and passion!

Listen in for more details and what this actually looks like in practice. For more on the topic be sure to read Alexandra's bestselling book called "Uncompromising Intimacy."

Intimacy is a familiar concept, but the word is actually not that well understood.

Even though we're not always clear on what intimacy means in our relationships, we can definitely sense when it's present - and when it's not, right?

In today's episode of The Intimate Marriage Podcast, I'm diving into the 3 types of intimacy, so you can identify where to put your attention in order to cultivate deeper intimacy in your marriage and in your life - starting now! Because there is a foundation that needs to be built before you enjoy more intimacy in your relationship, and it starts with how you relate to you.

I discuss:

• What intimacy really is - and some practical ways to build and cultivate more of it in your relationship
• The 3 types of intimacy and why these distinctions are important
• INTIMACY, my audio course for couples- and how it can help you bust the blocks preventing you from accessing more intimacy
• Where intimacy really begins (hint: it's not with your partner!)
• And more!

Are you making sure everyone else's needs and wants are met, but forgetting your own? Feeling disconnected or even hollow inside? Maybe you're struggling to just identify what exactly you want.

If you feel a big yes or a small yes to these questions, I assure you that you are not alone. I also assure you that I can help you reconnect with yourself and your vibrancy.

Join me today for a story about my client Michelle. I'll take you back to when we first met, how she felt in her life and in her marriage, what she was struggling with and what she was striving for. I will also tell you how she changed all of that in the most delicious ways.

Like many women, Michelle was great at taking care of her family, knowing the intimate details of what they liked and what made them happy, while not knowing what she herself wanted–until everything changed! (And it wasn't that hard to shift.)

Michelle's story can inspire us all. Listen in for how it inspired me to create something for YOU.

In this episode I share:

• My course DESIRES: Awaken the WOMAN Within and the questions it will help you answer about yourself
• The simple, intentional practice that allowed Michelle to honor her own experience and begin her journey of accessing what she desires (this can help you too!)
• Where Michelle is now: how she's experiencing MORE CONNECTION AND MORE PLEASURE now that she knows what she wants
• Plus a lot more…
