Ever feel like you're juggling a demanding career, personal life, and the often-elusive realm of intimacy, only to drop all the balls at once? Is the pursuit of "work-life balance" a myth, especially when the lines blur between your professional persona and your most private moments? Join Dr. Geri Lynn, Dr. Trish, and Nick as they bravely open up and discuss the messy realities of navigating these interconnected aspects of life. From the unique challenges of a public-facing job where personal anecdotes become on-air content, to the universal struggles of exhaustion impacting connection with loved ones, they unpack the pressures we all face. Explore the performative nature of modern life, the shifting dynamics of desire in long-term relationships, and the surprising truth about maintaining intimacy, even when the initial spark fades. 

Discover practical advice on communication, scheduling, and the power of simply having fun to reignite connection. Learn why that feeling of being "touched out" is more common than you think and how open dialogue can bridge the gap between unspoken needs and relationship satisfaction. Whether you're navigating the early infatuations or the comfortable rhythms of a long-term partnership, this episode offers refreshing perspectives and relatable experiences that will leave you feeling seen and empowered to prioritize what truly matters.

Prepare to have your preconceived notions challenged and your understanding of healthy relationships profoundly shifted.
