I’ve talked about s * x as meditation before and it’s something I come back to again and again.

Not because it’s about doing something new in the bedroom ~ because it invites us to slow down, step out of comparison, pressure, and performance… and actually be enjoying our bodies.

So often, s * x becomes rushed or something we just try to squeeze in. When we approach it with presence instead, it has the potential to become regulating, connective, and deeply nourishing.

This conversation with Rena was such a reminder of how powerful it can be to make space for that kind of intention.

Less than 25% of adults report feeling consistently emotionally safe expressing themselves vulnerably in relationships.

So, if opening up feels hard, if you hesitate before sharing how you really feel, or if your body tightens before difficult conversations ~ you’re not alone and you’re not broken. You are responding to many cues that you’ve learned through our culture.

Emotional safety is shaped by past experiences, early dynamics, and the way vulnerability was met (or not met) over your lifetime.

+ See if you can practice this next month noticing when you leave yourself behind, hide or change what you really wanted to say to fit someone else’s expectations.

Awareness is the first step on the journey to secure attachment.

Some days you don’t need another answer.
You just need the right reminder at the right time.

These are for the moments when your mind is loud, your body feels tense, or something feels off and you can’t quite name it.

Save this.
Come back to it when you need a softer place to land.

The next Intimacy Rewired cohort begins January 5th. If connection is something you want more of in 2026, the Intimacy Rewired Program is one of the best places to start for real relational change.

It’s a 6-week live course (Jan 5–Feb 11) with:
• Two 90-minute sessions per week
• Evidence-based tools you can use daily
• A curriculum that covers shame work, communication, pleasure, and internal safety
• Led by Amy Baldwin of the Shameless S*x podcast and Somatic Coach Ian Stratto
• Guest teachings from Dr. Nazanin Moali, Dr. Charlie Glickman, Sarah Tomchessen, and myself.

I’ll be leading Week 3, focusing on nervous system steadiness, co-regulation, and building the inner scaffolding that makes intimacy feel safer and more honest.

Recently on social media, I’ve been seeing more and more talk about turning to ChatGPT for advice....even for therapy.

And yes, AI might give you a tidy, logical answer... yet, emotional work isn’t tidy, uniformed or logical. We are messy and complex humans. The part where you sit with your feelings, question yourself, and have real conversations that challenge you is what will support your growth.

Do you find yourself saying things like “you always do this” or “forget it, never mind” when you’re upset with your sweetie?

We don’t always realize how our words land, especially in the middle of a high tension point and feeling triggered ourselves.

Small shifts in language can completely change how safe, heard, and understood both people feel.

Which one of these are you working on unlearning?

When something unresolved in you gets stirred up, it’s easy to pin it on your partner. Yet, often, our reactions says more about our past than the present moment.

Here are 3 signs you might be projecting:

1. Your reaction is way bigger than the moment.

Your partner says something small, yet you feel hurt, panicked, or shut down. That’s your nervous system pulling in something old. This is projection at it’s finest, when the past hijacks the present before you even realize it.

2. You’re convinced you “already know” what they’re thinking.

Projection loves certainty. It tells you: “They don’t care,” “They’re mad,” “They’re pulling away.” But often, that’s your fear speaking, not the facts.

3. You’re fighting someone else’s ghost.
Your ex. A parent. A past version of your partner.

If you feel like you’re stuck in the same emotional loop no matter what they say, you might not be responding to them at all.

The good news:
When you notice you’re projecting, you get to slow down and shift from reaction into reflection.

THE 90-SECOND RULE: most emotions only need about 90 seconds to move through your body.

That wave of anger? That hit of sadness or anxiety? It’s not permanent unless your thoughts keep looping the story that created it.

And, you don’t have to shut it down or rush through it. Just don’t attach a narrative that keeps it stuck.

Feel it.
Breathe.
Let it pass.

Your body knows how to move through emotion, your mind just needs to let it!
