The conversations this past month have been incredible and have truly informed our thinking about sexuality and intimacy. We\u2019ve grown and learned so much, and we hope you have too!   Today, we will be \u2018Going Deep\u2019 and sharing our own lessons and experiences with sexuality and intimacy. We talk about challenging our growth edges as a couple, how our past sexual experiences have informed us, what attraction is to us, and the importance of setting boundaries. We take you back to the beginning of our relationship and what that looked like, share stories of our past, and talk about what keeps us feeling safe and stable in our relationship even when we\u2019re pushing our comfort zones. We also talk about how you can better your own relationship \u2014 both sexually and intimate-wise \u2014 and what kinds of risks, within reason, you can take as a couple to open up your hearts to new experiences (even ones that feel a little scary!)   IGNTD Specials: 21-Day Habit Reset Challenge   Topics Discussed: [:35] About today\u2019s episode!
