Does every touch feel like it has a hidden agenda? When physical affection only leads to one destination, it can start to feel more like a transaction than a true connection. Over time, this can create distance and make intimacy feel forced, even hollow. In this episode, we explore how to transform transactional touch into genuine connection, bringing back the warmth, playfulness, and emotional closeness that so many couples crave. If youâre ready to make touch feel meaningful again, without pressure or expectation, this episode will show you how to reconnect with your partner through small, intentional moments that deepen your bond.
In this episode, we discuss:
- Why touch feels loaded when itâs only about sex.
- How non-sexual touch creates emotional closeness.
- The difference between transactional and intentional touch.
- How touch communicates âI see youâ and âyou matter.â
- Why the feminine energy longs for touch without expectation.
- How the masculine energy responds to invitational, open touch.
- Simple, everyday touches that make a big impact.
- How to bring touch back into your relationship without pressure.
- Why touch can feel hollow and how to change that.
- The impact of spontaneous vs. planned touch.
- How gentle, non-demanding touch reignites attraction.
- The role of playfulness in keeping touch light and fun.
- How to move from touch that feels like a task to touch that feels like connection.
- How to signal openness and affection without words.
- Small ways to bring touch back into daily routines.

âBut hang on Bridget and Julie, donât we want to get better, more conscious, and more attuned with our kids?â We know! This episode might seem counterintuitive, but what weâre leading you into, is instead of a rulebook in your head, we want you to drop into your experience, and parent from there.

- The fullness of feminine feeling colours everything for our children
- Loving unpredictability instead of control
- Wishing they would join in so you can have 5 minutes to talk to another adult

What are you not saying, that if you spoke the truth of, would elevate your relationship?

- Resistance to getting support, and relying on hyper self-sufficiency as a trauma response
- When you stop exposing your vulnerability because of old experiences of abandonment and criticism
- Becoming a hoarder of tasks and mental load
- Learning to love the eruptions and disconnections as opportunities for a more fulfilling relationship
- Showing up in the face of fear of rejection and abandonment

- We need to give to the bank of relationship to be able to withdraw from it
- Knowing what you want is more important than knowing what you donât want

We all grew up on a diet of fairytales, romcoms, and Hollywood romance - and if this is you, too, you might feel that your relationship is wrong for you. We want you to know that ALL relationships have seasons of repulsion. So letâs work with your forces of attraction and repulsion in your relationship.
In this episode we discuss:
- Why repulsion is normal and how it benefits you
- Attraction comes from having your values met, or outsourcing parts you havenât owned yet
- Change your psychology to change how feel around your partner
- Disconnection from them means connection to you
- Move faster through seasons of repulsion by owning whatâs yours
- Thereâs nothing wrong with you or them; repulsion is a function of relationship
- The more open you are to the wisdom of repulsion, the faster you move through it
- Youâre not seeing him for him, youâre seeing a comparison
- Chemistry happens before the physical body responds
- Chemistry is created in the mind
