Two Sisters, Two Stories, One Impossible Standard - with Lauren & Christine | Ep. 196
2026/06/09 | 50 mins.
When Lauren was invited to share her story on the podcast, she hesitated. Talking publicly about your sex life isn't easy—especially when your experience doesn't fit the cultural script of what a "healthy" woman is supposed to want. Then she surprised us with an unexpected suggestion: what if her sister joined the conversation?

What followed was a candid, funny, and moving discussion between two sisters whose experiences with sex, desire, marriage, motherhood, and womanhood couldn't look more different on the surface. Together, they unpack the impossible expectations placed on women, the messages they inherited about sexuality, and the ways both high desire and low desire can leave women feeling like they're somehow falling short.

Men, Marriage, and the Conversations We Were Never Taught to Have - with Brian | Ep. 195
2026/06/02 | 39 mins.
In this surprisingly vulnerable conversation, Brian — a former fire chief turned maintenance mechanic — shares his story of growing up with almost no sex education beyond, “don’t get her pregnant,” and the quiet pressures men often carry alone. Together, we explore fear, conditioning, hard conversations, and what it looks like to begin questioning long-held patterns later in life.

At 58, Brian opens up about choosing self-reflection over defensiveness and the profound shifts that became possible when he and his wife started talking more honestly about intimacy and safety. This episode is a reminder that meaningful change is possible when we’re willing to listen, learn, and do things differently.

Real Couples, Real Stories, Real Change: Inside Doing It Together | Ep. 194
2026/05/26 | 50 mins.
At the end of each eight-week round of Doing It Together, Janna hosts a farewell call where couples gather together and she asks one powerful question: What surprised you most about your Doing It Together journey?

In this episode, you’ll hear honest reflections from real couples about their experiences — what they learned, what they had to unlearn, and how their relationships changed along the way. Their stories are a reminder that when people are willing to do the work and face difficult truths, profound shifts can happen, intimacy can deepen, and new ways of connecting become possible.

What It Really Feels Like to Go Through Doing It Together- with Justin | Ep.192
2026/05/19 | 53 mins.
On the podcast today, Justin (the male mentor for the men’s group) and I pull back the curtain to share as real and honestly as we can what it feels like to progress through the Doing It Together program.

We talk about:
What do the men’s calls actually feel like?
What do women talk about in week one?
What happens when someone’s partner isn’t taking things as seriously?
What emotions come up through the process
What surprises people once they get inside?
And what realistic change can couples actually expect?

Even if you aren’t considering joining us in June, this episode is a sweet one.

The deadline to join Doing It Together is May 26th. Hope you get to experience this journey, it’s a good one.

The Hidden Reason Sex Started Feeling Unsafe - with Erica | Ep. 192
2026/05/13 | 48 mins.
What if the problem in your sex life isn’t low libido… but the pressure, expectations, and conditioning you’ve been carrying for years?

In this conversation, Erica shares how she spent years believing she was broken, trying everything from therapy to self-help advice to “fix” her lack of desire — only to discover that the real issue had far more to do with safety, pressure, and the scripts women are taught about sex and relationships.

Together, Erica and Janna unpack the messages many women grow up with around sex, marriage, motherhood, and obligation, and explore what begins to shift when couples stop focusing on performance and start building experiences rooted in curiosity, comfort, and connection.
