Listen "203. Finding time in your relationship"
Episode Synopsis
Welcome back to the podcast! Anna & Sara are feeling the summer heat (literally!) as they chat about the bittersweet slide into August. There’s a reflection on presence, ageing, and why Pilates torture can teach us about intentional living.
Love Desk:
We explore three hidden forces that can quietly trash a couple’s sex life:
The overload no one talks about – how invisible stress and daily mental loads kill desire
The mother-partner identity blur – when caregiving roles seep into romance
Old generation scripts that won’t die – outdated gender norms that still shape our expectations
With a dose of humour (yes, even about towel folding and dishwashing), we remind listeners why being intentional matters more than lacy underwear or quick fixes.
Hot Topic: Finding more time in your relationship
Why “time starvation” fuels disconnection and frustration
Creative ways to buy or swap time so you can reconnect
The difference between transactional time and quality presence
Why even folding laundry together can count (if you can resist critiquing how your partner folds the towels!)
Listener Question:
"My partner says they love me, but they never initiate affection anymore. Am I expecting too much, or does this mean something deeper?"
We dive into what affection really means, why it fades, and how to bring it back with intentional gestures that create reciprocity, not resentment.
This week is all about intentionality. Whether it’s making time, showing affection, or choosing how you want to show up in your relationship, small, deliberate acts build trust and connection over time.
