In this deeply honest and much-needed conversation, we sit down with Dr. Cheri Timko, a couples and sex therapist with over 20 years of experience helping neurodiverse couples strengthen their communication, rebuild connection, and rediscover intimacy.

Together, they open up about the often-unspoken challenges that come with parenting a child with a disability — the strain it can place on relationships, the emotional distance that can form over time, and the quiet grief and guilt that so many couples carry but rarely discuss.

This episode sheds light on the realities behind closed doors: love, loss, burnout, and the ongoing effort to stay connected when life feels overwhelming. Dr. Timko offers both compassion and practical insight for couples navigating the balance between caregiving and connection — reminding listeners that healing and closeness are still possible, even in the most challenging seasons.

💙 Because sometimes, the hardest conversations are the ones that bring us closer.
