274. Planning a Sexcation: Practical Tips for Every Season of Life (opens the original)
Read excerpt
This week, Francie takes a fun departure from the current series to talk about an idea that's become a real rhythm in her own marriage and resonated with listeners ever since she started sharing it: how to plan a sexcation. Whether you have a full week and a real travel budget, or you can't get five feet past your front door right now because life is life, Francie walks through a full spectrum of options — starting small and building up. She shares the origin story of her and Wyatt's "hotel date
Ep. 273. Celebrating Masculine Strength (Part 2): The Gaze, the Time, and the Words That Heal a Marriage (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Francie continues her celebration of holy masculine strength — and this week, she gets specific. Masculine strength "used well," she says, isn't about domination or performance; it's strength channeled toward self-giving love, the kind Ephesians 5 calls husbands to. Francie unpacks three concrete ways her husband Wyatt's strength has healed her heart and body over 21+ years of marriage: his disciplined gaze (and what it's meant that his eyes are for her, not a scroll), his willingness to become
Ep 272. Celebrating Masculine Strength (Part 1): A Wife Was Made to Receive (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Francie's back from a summer away — and she's kicking off a new mini-series on something our culture rarely celebrates: holy masculine strength. After a clip about honoring husbands went semi-viral this summer (and pulled in a wave of new male listeners), Francie felt the nudge to open this conversation to husbands too — not just wives. In this episode, she lays the theological groundwork, starting with the Hebrew word tov me'od ("very good") — the phrase God used only once He'd created both mal
Ep. 271 Female Orgasm: What You Were Never Taught (opens the original)
Read excerpt
This is the episode I wish someone had offered me years ago. We grew up in a culture that was simultaneously saturated with sexuality and almost completely silent about women's actual experience of it. And for those of us who wanted to stay honorable in our searching, we often didn't know where to turn. So this episode is a warm, clear, shame-free conversation about female anatomy, how your body was designed to experience pleasure, and what you actually need to know to have a genuinely good inti
Ep. 270 Small Daily Habits That Wake Up Your Pleasure (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Female flourishing doesn't start in the bedroom. It starts in the kitchen. In the shower. At a stoplight. In five minutes on your front porch listening to birds. That might sound surprising — but it's one of the most freeing things I've discovered on this journey. The capacity to feel pleasure, connection, and aliveness in intimacy is directly connected to how present you are in your body throughout the rest of your day. And most of us, if we're honest, have spent years going the other direction
