#328: Answers to Your Questions About Pornography

by Authentic Intimacy®

"Will I cause a set-back in my husband’s recovery if I say no to sex?"  
 
"My daughter talks to me about her porn addiction, but she’s mortified at the thought of telling her dad, is that okay?"
 
"My husband confessed to looking at women on Instagram. It wasn’t exactly a porn relapse—so why am I so angry about it?"
 
This week, our guest is Jonathan Daugherty, author of Grace Based Recovery and founder of Be Broken Ministries. He sits down with Juli to offer hope, encouragement, and answers to oft-asked questions we get from listeners about pornography. Whether you’re an addict, a spouse, or a friend walking this journey with a loved one, you’ll want to tune in to this Java with Juli.

#327: When Your Spouse Feels More Like a Roommate

by Authentic Intimacy®

Every couple experiences times of disconnection, but when your spouse begins to feel more like a roommate than a lover, it’s easy to want to go looking for intimacy in other places. But what would it look to like to ditch the idea that there is something better outside your marriage and ask, instead, how you can keep your heart open to your spouse? Join Juli and her guests, Dr. Greg and Erin Smalley, for a candid conversation about tending to your heart during the busy, difficult, or painful seasons of life and marriage.

#326: Gen Z and Gender Identity

by Authentic Intimacy®

Few ideas have changed more rapidly than the way our culture perceives gender.  The idea that you can choose your gender (some cite more than 50 options) can feel downright crazy-making for the average Christian parent—but being dismissive of Gen Z’s refusal to be put in a male or female box isn’t going to help YOUR child navigate all those choices. How do you respond when your child is struggling with gender identity? In this episode, Juli is joined by friends from Axis.org to help you understand how Gen Z perceives gender, and how to walk alongside a young person you love who is struggling.

#325: BONUS! When Sex Hurts, Pelvic Floor Therapy Can Help

by Authentic Intimacy®

Past trauma, childbirth, a physical fall—just a few of the MANY reasons you might experience painful sex or sexual dysfunction. Sadly, the story for most women is that when they finally get the courage to bring this up with their GYN, they’re told, “Everything looks normal. Just try to relax.” When left untreated, sexual dysfunction brings shame, frustration and sadness and can drive a wedge between husbands and wives. Could a pelvic physical therapist help? Listen in to find out!
