Hi Tribe,

Episode 3 of What We Don’t Say is officially live, and I have to admit...this may be one of my favorite conversations we’ve had so far.

Whether we realize it or not, we’re constantly exposed to examples of what intimacy is supposed to look like. From romantic comedies and streaming shows to social media and adult entertainment. Those portrayals aren’t necessarily good or bad; they’re simply someone else’s perspective.

But how often do we stop and ask ourselves...

What does good sex actually mean to me?

In this episode, we explore why intimacy may be less like a rulebook and more like a recipe. One that reflects our values, our experiences, and the kind of connection we hope to create.

Together, we’ll explore:

* Why curiosity is often more valuable than comparison.

* How the stories we consume can quietly shape our expectations.

* Why the relationship we have with ourselves influences the relationships we build with others.

* The freedom that comes from realizing there isn’t one universal recipe for “good sex.”

I also share a book that challenged the way I think about intimacy and inspired many of the questions we explore throughout this episode.

Whether you’re here to learn, reflect, unlearn, or simply become more intentional about the relationships you’re building—with yourself and with others—I hope this conversation leaves you with a question worth carrying long after the episode ends.

🎧 Listen wherever you get your podcasts.

If this episode resonates with you, I’d be so grateful if you’d share it with someone who might enjoy the conversation. Every listen, every share, and every thoughtful discussion helps this community continue to grow.

As always...

Keep saying what we don’t say.

With gratitude,

Jarissa Greenard, M.A. Ed.Host, What We Don’t Say
