   45. Relationships DIE without Intimacy - Dr. Bruce Chalmer

   So many couples want two things at once: safety and spark. But how do you hold both? In this episode, I sit down with Dr. Bruce Chalmer, a couples therapist with over 30 years of experience and author of The Passion Paradox. We talk about why long-term love requires both intimacy and stability — and why tension between those needs is not a sign something is wrong. We also unpack what this looks like for millennial moms navigating the mental load, shifting expectations around gender, and the reality of partnership in this stage of life. If you’re building a relationship that you want to last in a deeply connected way, this conversation is for you.

   44. Getting Cancer at 22 was a Blessing

   When I was 22, I was diagnosed with cancer. The scariest news I've ever received and the most life-changing experience I've ever gone through. In this episode, I share my story and how that diagnosis changed my life... for the better. It disrupted my understanding of certainty, control, health, beauty, and ultimately it reshaped how I think about resilience, risk, and living an authentic life. If you're going through a tough time, or you’ve been holding yourself back recently, this episode is for you. It's a reminder that life can change in an instant and "someday" isn't guaranteed.
