In this episode of Her Second Stage, Hilda Lunderstedt sits down with intimacy coach and author Xanet Pailet to explore the quiet crisis affecting modern marriages: the fall in intimacy. Xanet shares her personal journey from living in a disconnected relationship to becoming a leader in intimacy coaching. Together, they unpack why marital closeness often fades, from societal distractions and routine to the impact of menopause on women’s desire.

This conversation highlights the role of emotional intimacy, communication, and vulnerability in reigniting connection. Xanet also shares how reconnecting with the body, embracing pleasure, and attending couples retreats can help partners heal and rediscover desire. Whether you’re navigating boredom in long-term love, looking for tools to strengthen your relationship, or curious about the evolving world of intimacy coaching, this episode offers guidance and hope.
