Awakened Intimacy is a podcast for anyone awakening to the deeper dimensions of truth and love — where relationships held safety and honesty create depth and growth.
Hosted by Greer & Aaron Christos, therapeutic coaches and founders of Intimacy for Couples, each conversation explores how real relationships become both sanctuary for connection and a catalyst for change — the place where we meet our wounds, dissolve old patterns, and discover intimacy as a path of spiritual awakening.
Through lived stories, psychological insight, and embodied wisdom, we explore themes such as:
• Safety & the nervous system — “No safety, no intimacy.”
• Seeing the mirror in your triggers — learning to meet yourself through what arises between you.
• Love as sanctuary & catalyst — how safety and challenge evolve love into something deeper.
• Polarity & play — Keeping things alive and fresh in long term connection.
• Awakening through conflict — “Every rupture is a doorway to deeper truth.”
These episodes are not just teachings but transmissions — an invitation to slow down, listen, and remember that every contraction and challenge in love is a doorway to expansion.

Ep.15 | Triggered: Why We React And What To Do About It
We open this one right up. Across this episode we walk you through several different triggers we've actually moved through starting with a broken night's sleep that spiralled into one of us crying on the floor and the other walking out the door, a look on Greer's face that lands in Aaron's body as integration when it's really just curiosity and a forgotten plan that could have ended a Friday night badly and didn't. Lots of different moments and different intensities but the same underlying p...

Ep.14 | More Than Chemistry: Expanding Polarity Beyond the Bedroom
Most people hear "polarity" and "masculine/feminine dynamics" and think it's just about sex. But it's so much more than that. Polarity is the current running underneath why you fight the way you fight, why silence can feel like abandonment to one of you and nothing at all to the other, and why the most intense relationship you've ever had might have been running on old wounds instead of real chemistry. Damien Bohler and Katie Taelos, founders of Evolve Relating, join us to pull polarity apart...

Ep.13 | They Almost Lost It All — And Now They Help Couples Find Their Way Back - Interview with Michael and Amy Stuth
If you've been carrying this relationship for a while, wondering if your partner will ever really get it — this episode is for you. Michael and Amy Stuth have been together for over 20 years. There was a time when they were deeply disconnected, lonely inside their own marriage, going through the motions of a life that looked right on paper but felt hollow underneath. Amy was resentful, exhausted, and couldn't find the words. So she wrote a letter. What happened next — and what they each had t...

Ep.12 | What It Takes To Go From 'On The Rocks' To Rock Solid - Interview with Jasper Brown & Nathalie Plass
What does it actually take to turn a relationship around? Most couples hit a rocky phase at some stage. For most, it means an ending — or settling for a stable kind of misery. But what does it take to transform the conflict patterns, the pain and disconnection into something real, safe, and deeply intimate? In this episode, Aaron and Greer are joined by two very dear friends and colleagues: Jasper Brown (Awakened Evolution) and Relationship Coach Nathalie Plass, both of whom have built their ...

Ep.11 | Walled Off & Boundaryless: Getting Underneath Unhealthy Attachment
Why do couples keep falling into the same dynamic — one pursuing, one distancing — no matter how much they understand the pattern? In this episode, Aaron and Greer go underneath the pursuer/distancer cycle to explore what's actually driving it. They also unpack why they tend to avoid using typical 'attachment theory' language. Because conflict and avoidance aren't just communication problems. They're the surface expression of something much deeper. This episode covers: — Why walled off and...

Ep.10 | The Hidden Driver Beneath Distance and Disconnection
Nearly every couple that reaches out to us says the same thing: "We just need to communicate better." And they're right. But communication tools don't work when something deeper is running underneath them. That something is shame. In this episode, we go somewhere most relationship podcasts won't. We share our own shame; openly, somatically, in real time and walk you through why shame is the hidden driver behind so much conflict, distance, and disconnection in relationships. You'll learn t...

Ep.09 | Keeping The Spark Alive — Masculine Feminine Polarity and The Secret To Long-Term Desire
Whether you're on the rocks or rock solid — if you're in a new or long-term monogamous relationship, this episode is for you. Because no matter how much you love each other, passion and desire don't maintain themselves. And the reason most couples lose the spark has nothing to do with compatibility, effort, or how much they care. It has everything to do with polarity. In this episode, Aaron and Greer explore the role of masculine and feminine energy in long-term relationships — what it actu...

Ep.08 | Why You've Become Housemates (And What's Actually Going On Beneath That)
Is your relationship functional but flat? Are you sharing a life but not really sharing each other? In this episode, Aaron and Greer Christos unpack one of the most common dynamics they see in couples — the slow drift from lovers to housemates — and trace it back to what's actually driving it beneath the surface. In this episode: The housemate spectrum — from vanilla and safe, through co-management, all the way to conflict and resentment — and where you might recognise yourself Why busynes...

Ep.07 | Why Couples Keep Having the Same Fight
So many couples find themselves having the same fight, in different forms, on repeat. Different trigger, same loop. And the painful truth is — if you don't understand what's actually driving it, nothing changes. In this episode we go deep on why the patterns keep showing up, and what it actually takes to break them. What we cover: Capacity — why your nervous system load determines everything about how you show up with your partner; and why even small moments of friction can become big o...

Ep.06 | How Staying Busy Slowly Erodes Deep Connection
In this episode of Awakened Intimacy, we’re naming something many couples regularly feel but rarely have the capacity to articulate… although staying busy CAN keep a relationship 'functional', it will also quietly dissolve emotional connection, erotic charge, and the sense of “us”. We explore why date nights often don’t work, why couples get stuck trying to fix surface-level problems, and what actually creates intimacy again: attunement, embodiment, repair, and meeting the deeper need undern...

Ep.05 | Relationship Reckoning Part 2; The Path from Self-Abandonment to True Love
In this episode, Aaron and Greer weave together the threads of awakening, truth, and relationship; through the telling of Greer’s personal story. This is a conversation for anyone standing at a threshold… the ones quietly asking: Is this it? Not because there’s no love. Because something deeper is trying to be born. Greer shares the initiations that shaped her; from an early relationship that blurred safety and intensity, to the slow recognition of self-abandonment, to the spiritual awake...

Ep.04 | Relationship Reckoning; Do I Grieve… or Do I Leave?
In this episode, Aaron and Greer explore a crossroads many long-term couples arrive at: relational reckoning. It’s the moment the illusions fall away and the real questions surface. Is what I’m receiving in this relationship enough to justify what I’m not receiving? Do I need to grieve what may never be available… or do I need to leave? We unpack the most common forms of reckoning couples face, including emotional depth and sexual intimacy; and we share personal stories fro...

Ep.03 | Awakening Through the Gifts of Grief
In this week’s episode, we invite you into a very current, personal season of our life; one that has not been neatly processed or wrapped in a bow. Aaron’s grandfather has been admitted to hospital and is not expected to leave; at the same time Greer is sitting in the ten year anniversary of her father’s passing. We speak about how we are each navigating our own grief; while still showing up for our relationship, our parenting, and our work with couples. We explore grief not just as somethi...

Ep.02 | The Real Reason Couples Feel Disconnected (and How to Reconnect)
Loving. Intelligent. But still feeling miles apart? Most couples try to relate from the mind while the body is in protection; but empathy can’t land when the nervous system is on-guard. In this episode we un-pack our sold-out CONNECTED workshop, we show how safety, sensation, and honest repair bring intimacy back online — including a real trigger we navigated live, in under three minutes. You’ll hear the exact moves that turned contraction into connection (fast), and why it worked. We explore...

Ep.01 | Awakening in Relationship — What Brought Us Here & Why It Matters
In our first episode, we explore what “Awakened Intimacy” really means — how safety, self-awareness, and spiritual growth come together in relationship. We also trace our path to this work from early workshops to becoming parents and finally refining our work with couples. We explore how identities and “masks” form; why triggers are invitations; and how to move from contraction into connection. You’ll hear a candid repair moment from our kitchen; plus a simple framework you ...
