  • 224. Best Hotel Date Ever (After a Year Without One) - Intimacy in the Hard Winter Seasons
    2025/06/09

    When was the last time you felt truly connected—to your body, to your husband, to yourself?

    If life has felt heavy…
    If intimacy has taken a backseat to survival…
    If you’re wondering where desire, connection, or joy has gone—this episode is for you.

    In today’s honest conversation, Francie opens up about walking through a year of exhaustion, illness, and survival mode—when hotel dates were off the table and emotional oxygen was running low. And yet, somehow, that winter season planted the seeds for the most connected, joy-filled intimacy her marriage had experienced in 20 years.

    What changed? Not the circumstances. But the intentional decision to grow anyway—in small, daily ways.

    You’ll Hear About:

    • What it means to walk through a “winter season” in your marriage

    • How to stay connected when resources (and energy) feel scarce

    • Why befriending your body matters more than you think

    • The surprising power of slowing down, tuning in, and learning to receive

    • Why small steps toward pleasure and presence can actually transform your marriage

    Up Next:

    This episode launches the Intentional Intimacy Summer Series—ten short, practical episodes to help you grow connection, one simple step at a time.

  • 223. Sexual Response Cycle 101: Understanding How God Designed Women for Desire, Arousal, and Joy
    2025/05/26

    Is your understanding of sex stuck in a male-centered script? In this empowering episode, Francie kicks off a powerful new arc in the Celebrate & Educate series: the female sexual response cycle, God’s intentionally layered design for connection, pleasure, and intimacy.

    Our cultural assumptions about sex often reduce the experience to: erection, entry, thrust, ejaculation, done. But what about women? What about the way your body was made to respond?

    In this foundational episode, you'll learn:

    • The 4 phases of the female sexual response cycle: desire, arousal, climax, and resolution

    • Why emotional and mental engagement are essential for female arousal

    • How to recognize your body’s subtle signals of desire and readiness

    • How tuning into your body can transform your sexual experience and deepen intimacy

    Francie unpacks the science and spirit behind female pleasure—blending physiology with faith to help you grow in self-awareness and partnership with your spouse. If you’ve ever felt disconnected, disinterested, or just going through the motions, this episode is for you.

    You'll also hear:

    • Why distraction and shame short-circuit sexual intimacy

    • How sleep arousal cycles reveal God's intentional design

    • Why pleasure isn’t frivolous—it’s worship

    Let this episode help you wake up to your body, your needs, and your worth. There is so much more available to you when you align your mind, body, and spirit with the goodness of God’s design for sexuality.

    2025/05/12

    Did you know God tucked incredible pleasure potential into your body—on purpose? This episode in the Celebrate & Educate Your Good Body series is all about the G-spot: what it is, where it is, and how it reveals the intentional design of our Creator.

    In this vulnerable and joy-filled episode, Francie guides you through the mystery and beauty of the G-spot, one of the lesser-known parts of female sexual anatomy that can play a major role in intimacy and orgasm. You’ll learn:

    • What the G-spot actually is (hint: it’s not a standalone organ!)

    • How it connects to the clitoral network

    • Ways to locate and stimulate it with confidence and joy

    • Why exploring your body without shame honors God's design

    Whether you’ve never heard of the G-spot or you’ve felt unsure about what’s “normal,” this episode offers grace-filled guidance and holy curiosity. It's not about pressure, it’s about permission. Permission to learn, to celebrate, and to grow in intimacy with your husband and with God.

    You’ll also hear about:

    • The possibility of G-spot orgasms and female ejaculation

    • Practical tips for communication and exploration with your spouse

    • The role of self-knowledge in healthy sexual intimacy

    • Why embracing your erotic design is part of integrated holiness
