Description

Self-care has been sold to women as indulgence, luxury, or something we earn after everything else is done.

But what if self-care is actually the foundation of desire, intimacy, and connection in marriage?

In this episode, we explore how tending to your nervous system and honoring your own needs directly impacts your relationship. Because when a woman is depleted, love feels heavy. And when she is regulated, nourished, and alive inside herself… intimacy finally has somewhere safe to land.

Inside this episode, we cover:

• Why self-care is not indulgence, but self-respect

• How chronic over-giving leads to burnout, resentment, and disconnection

• The role of nervous system regulation in restoring patience, presence, and desire

• Why regulation is only the baseline—and what comes after safety

• How boundaries around “me time” shift marriage dynamics

• Why a full cup makes you magnetic again—inside and in your relationship

This isn’t about fixing your partner or forcing intimacy when you don’t feel it.

It’s about coming back home to your body, filling yourself up first, and allowing love to flow naturally again.
