podcast: all episodes podcast: featured episode podcast: guest episode

In this powerful discussion on intimacy, relationships, and how to heal sexual disconnect, Henry Ammar interviews the incredible relationship expert, Dr. Jennifer Finlayson-Fife.

Dr. Finlayson-Fife doesn't shy away from the tough truths: many of us are terrified of being truly known, holding back out of shame, fear, and past wounds.

But what if you could turn your sexuality into a source of power and deep connection, rather than something to be feared or hidden?

Here’s what we discussed:

Why your fear of rejection is secretly destroying your chances at deep intimacy.
The sexual disconnect that (often) happens after marriage; and how to bring the loving passion back.
How the “good girl” or “nice guy” persona is ruining your love life and what to do about it.
How religious and conservative upbringings impact our relationship with sexuality, with intimacy, and with our own bodies.
How women who grew up with religious/conservative values especially struggle with healthy sexual expression.
Why staying in an unhealthy relationship isn’t love—it’s fear.
The uncomfortable truth: Are you confusing sex with true intimacy?
The conflict between high-desire and low-desire partners.
When your partner isn’t ready to do the work but you are.
