If you’ve been feeling disconnected from your partner, you’re not alone—and it didn’t happen overnight.
In this episode, I’m walking you through the subtle ways closeness fades over time and how to get it back.
I’m sharing 15 specific, actionable ideas that will help you and your partner feel more emotionally connected again.
Whether you pick one or try several, this is about creating moments of real intimacy, not just physical proximity. You don’t have to overhaul everything, just begin. Because when you shift how you show up, everything can change.

Does it feel like you’re doing it all - managing the home, the kids, the emotional labor - and your partner is just along for the ride?
I'm sharing real coaching from inside my membership where one woman asks whether she can ever regain respect for her husband after years of doing everything herself.
We talk about what happens when we over-function in our marriages, how that invites our partners to under-function, and why judging them never gets us the connection we truly want.
You can’t judge someone and love them at the same time—and there’s no path to a happy marriage from that place.
I’ll walk you through the mindset shifts that can change the dynamic entirely, starting with getting back into your business.
“He gets to choose what kind of man, husband, and father he wants to be—and I’m going to stop trying to control that.”

One of the most common frustrations I hear from women: “Why do I have to lead this?”
If your marriage is struggling and you’re the one noticing the disconnect, it can feel unfair to also be the one doing the emotional heavy lifting.
But someone has to take the lead—and that someone might need to be you.
"If you're not part of the solution, you're part of the problem."
I’m sharing five clear reasons why leadership in your relationship is an act of self-respect, not self-sacrifice.
Whether your partner is unaware, in denial, or just ill-equipped to lead, this episode is a powerful call to step into your agency, not just for your marriage - but for your own peace of mind.

Have you ever wondered why the spark seems to fade over time?
Desire doesn’t disappear because something’s wrong. It fades because everything is the same.
I explain the science behind why familiarity suppresses desire and how we mistakenly attribute pleasure to the person (like a number three) rather than the physiological reaction in our own body.
I also share what we can do to bring desire back in a long-term relationship… without waiting on our partner to figure it out.
Desire isn’t magic. But with a little effort and intention, it can be reawakened.

“It’s not always about what’s missing in the marriage—it’s sometimes about what’s missing in the person.”
In this deeply insightful episode of The Loving Truth, a listener asks why her husband betrayed her despite what seemed like a happy marriage.
I explore why infidelity happens even in relationships that appear strong on the outside, uncover the emotional complexities, subconscious fears, and unspoken desires that often go unnoticed.
I’ll help you begin to understand what happened—and more importantly, ask yourself what healing could look like from here.

In this episode of Ask Sharon, I’m sharing real questions from women inside my membership program and the unfiltered coaching that followed.
We talk candidly about the overuse of labels like "narcissist," what it's really like to be married to someone on the spectrum, and how to communicate with partners who default to defensiveness.
Whether you're feeling stuck in diagnosis-mode, trying to be understood, or wrestling with someone who simply refuses to change, this conversation is about breaking the cycle, reclaiming your voice, and realizing—you already know more than you think.

This episode gives you an exclusive peek inside my membership program and a real-life coaching session with a client who says, “I love him, and we’re incredible roomates… but how can we possibly reconnect with all this resentment between us? How do I know if I’m staying for the wrong reasons?”

So we’ll start by dissecting the very significant resentments this client shares, and then we’ll move into questioning whether her marriage is ‘worth’ fighting for… or not.

I’ll also share an example of a difficult conversation I had with my family—because it’s simpler than you might think.

This falls into the category of “Things I Wish Someone Had Told Me” (before I got married!) If you’ve reached midlife and you’re married or divorced: You probably didn’t think about any of this either.
It’s easy to ‘lose’ yourself within your relationship—especially if you’re a woman. But it doesn’t have to be like this! (In fact, it shouldn’t be like this.)
In this episode, I’ll give you the remedy to (re)balance ‘you time’ within your marriage—even if you have a busy family life. I’ll take-on some well-worn marriage advice I disagree with and explain how women (even mothers!) can prioritize themselves and their desires… for the health of the marriage and the family.
