Imagine you have a bucket that represents your needs in intimacy—what does that bucket look like? Is it overflowing, half-empty, or maybe even bone-dry? In this episode, we're diving deep into the idea of "sex buckets"—our unique needs, emotions, and thoughts around intimacy and connection.

We’re talking about how everyone has different "buckets" when it comes to sex, and those buckets can look very different depending on the person, their stage in life, or even the season they’re in. How do you and your partner understand each other’s buckets? How do you fill them in a way that builds connection, trust, and joy in your relationship?

To help me unpack all this, I’ve brought in my amazing husband Sean for an honest, real, and sometimes hilarious conversation about what this looks like in our marriage. From navigating changing seasons of life to addressing the unique needs we each bring to the table, we’re covering it all—communication, emotions, and practical ways to strengthen intimacy in your relationship.

Whether you’re in a thriving season or working through challenges, this episode will give you tools to identify your needs, communicate them, and start filling up each other’s buckets with intention and love.

❤️ What You’ll Learn:

• What a "sex bucket" is and why it matters in your relationship.
• How different seasons of life—like parenting, stress, or big transitions—can affect intimacy.
• Why it’s okay for you and your partner to have different needs and expectations.
• How to communicate openly about your "bucket" without judgment or shame.
• Practical ways to fill up your bucket (and your partner’s!) in meaningful ways.

Grab a coffee, settle in, and let’s have a raw and refreshing conversation about building intimacy that truly lasts.
