    Ep 268. Female Flourishing: What It Means to Be Fully Alive

    2026/06/22 | 27 mins.
    Hey friend — welcome to something that's been on my heart for a while.
    Over the next four episodes we're going to talk about what it looks like to be fully alive as a woman. Not just spiritually. Not just emotionally. But in your whole self — mind, body, and yes, sexuality too. I'm calling it Female Flourishing.
    That phrase might be new to you, so let me explain what I mean. Female flourishing is the journey of becoming more whole, more free, and more at home in the body God gave you. It's the opposite of the numbness, shame, and disconnection that so many of us have quietly carried for years — often without even realizing it.
    For me, that journey has been a long one. For about the first fifteen years of my marriage, I was what I'd call disembodied— meaning I lived almost entirely in my head. I was spiritually engaged, mentally active, always doing — but deeply disconnected from my own body and from the idea that my sexuality, my femininity, and my capacity for pleasure were actually good things. God things.
    It wasn't until I started to understand what God actually said about our bodies — Tov Meod, the Hebrew words meaning very good — that something began to shift.
    In this first episode I share some of my story, cast a vision for where we're going in this series, and offer an invitation: to begin bringing the parts of yourself you've kept hidden back into the light of what God has always said is true.
    A few things you'll hear:
    What embodiment means — and why most of us have lost it without realizing it. 
    What Tov Meod means and why it matters for how you see your body. 
    Why female flourishing starts with honesty — with yourself, with God, and with your story.
    You are deeply loved. You are not alone. And this is a really good place to begin.

    267. How to Cultivate Drive in a Long-Term Marriage

    2026/06/08 | 17 mins.
    Summer Q&A Series
    Real talk: how do you keep the passion alive when you've been married five, ten, twenty years? When the kids are loud, the calendar is full, and you're both just... tired?
    That's the question on the table today — and the answer might surprise you.
    In this bite-sized summer Q&A episode, Francie tackles one of the most common questions she receives: how do you cultivate drive in a long-term marriage? And the reframe she offers is one you probably haven't heard before.
    Hint: high drive isn't the goal. Sexual energy is.

Some of them will surprise you. Some of them will make you want to sit with them for a while. All of them are rooted in the truth that you were made on purpose, with purpose.
    This isn't a pep talk. It's a paradigm shift.
    You are more powerful than you know. And great sex grows when you start to believe it.

    265. Great Sex Grows – Communicate Honestly and Honoringly

    2026/05/25 | 36 mins.
    Communication is the gateway to deeper intimacy — and for most of us, it's also where things get tricky.
    In this episode, Francie gets real about one of the biggest growth edges in marriage: learning to talk about sex, desire, and vulnerability in a way that actually brings you closer instead of shutting things down.
    She shares some of the most practical — and surprisingly tender — tools she and Wyatt have developed over 20 years of learning to communicate honestly and with honor. Some of these ideas you've probably never heard before, and at least one of them might just become a regular part of your marriage.
    If you've ever felt like you can't find the words, or you're afraid of saying the wrong thing, or you've just been hoping he'd figure it out on his own — this episode is for you.
    Your words have more power than you know. Let's use them well.

    264. Great Sex Grows – Make It Fun

    2026/05/18 | 30 mins.
    If your sex life has started to feel a little... predictable, this episode is for you.
    Francie brings the fun today — and she means it. Great sex isn't meant to be heavy, dutiful, or overly serious. It's meant to be lighthearted, connecting, and genuinely enjoyable. A joyful heart really is good medicine, and that includes what happens in the bedroom.
    Francie shares 13 practical ideas for bringing more fun, playfulness, and novelty into your intimate life — everything from the surprisingly simple to the a-little-spicy. Some of them will make you laugh. Some of them will make you nudge your husband. All of them are doable.
    Don't try to do all 13 at once. Just listen, pick the one that makes you think ooh, we could do that — and go do that.
    Great sex is not an achievement. It's an adventure — and you're invited.
