Intimacy, Rejection, Healing, And What This Experience Has Looked Like From The Spouse's Side 😳
POl and loss of libido can affect far more than your sex drive.. they can change intimacy inside a marriage.
"Loss of libido" sounds like such a small, clinical symptom.
It doesn't explain what it feels like when desire goes completely quiet.. or what that absence can do inside a marriage when neither person understands what's happening.
Matt joined me for an incredibly honest conversation about #prematureovarianfailure, intimacy, rejection, healing, and what this experience has looked like from the spouse's side.
We can joke about it now.
We definitely couldn't always.
This is Season 2: Episode 2 of The Chronically Authentic Podcast

Where I’ve Been… And Why I’m Finally Ready to Talk About It
For nearly two years, Chronically Authentic has been quiet.
Today, I’m finally sharing why.
What started as a pause after receiving death threats following our move to Hawaiʻi became one of the most life-changing seasons of my life. Within months, I was diagnosed with a BRCA2 genetic mutation, underwent a preventative double mastectomy, and was later diagnosed with Premature Ovarian Insufficiency (POI).
In this deeply personal relaunch episode, I’m opening up about everything that happened behind the scenes—the fear, grief, identity shifts, rebuilding my health, and why I chose to press record again before having all the answers.
Whether you’re navigating a diagnosis, advocating for yourself, grieving the body you once knew, or simply wondering where I’ve been, I hope this conversation reminds you that healing isn’t linear—and you don’t have to walk through it alone.
Thank you for giving me the courage to come back.

Spilling The Tea on BEACHBODY 🫖
Did you hear the recent BODi news? Pull up a chair and get ready for a piping hot cup of MULTI-level Marketing tea because I’m spilling all the details about my experience in Beachbody along with my husband Matt.
Matt and I were Coaches in BODi from 2022-2024 and helped so many people reach fitness goals, overcome obstacles with their mindsets and even earn income. But once we saw sone of the toxic relationships and hustle-culture behaviors, we decided we had had enough.
What were your experiences with Beachbody? Let me know about the community YOU experienced and your thoughts about BODi getting out of the MLM/network marketing business.
I hope YOU will join me in creating a new community here! And at www.nickibunting.com
I have so many exciting details coming so make sure to follow along on Instagram, TikTok, YouTube, Spotify Podcasts and Apple Podcasts.
Love ya! 💜
