Did it create more confusion or continue the drive inside to keep pushing to obtain the outcome you ultimately wanted?In this episode we discuss why we seek closure to begin with and how we can choose instead to walk away from it instead.Connect with JessWebsite: www.lovealwaysjess.com/getstartedInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/love.always.jess

If you were to know that your last days were among you, what would you do differently? Would you stop waiting for a situation to be perfect and choose to go forward with it regardless?Although this episode took a slightly sad turn, it leaves you with the reminder that life is not promised and we can choose today what the rest of it will look like.Connect with JessWebsite: www.lovealwaysjess.com/getstartedInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/love.always.jess

I can’t believe we’ve made it to episode 48—it honestly feels a little surreal. Whether you’ve listened to one episode or all of them, I want to start by saying thank you. Thank you for taking time out of your day to be here, to be open, and to explore these sometimes heavy, sometimes joyful, but always important topics with me.For decades, I’ve been fascinated by the intersection of sex and money. They’re two of the most influential forces in our lives- impacting our relationships, our decisions, and even our politics. And yet, they’re still treated as taboo.

47. Should You Trust Your Partner with Your Finances?
Hey, hey! In this episode, I’m diving into something that sparked a conversation (and a bit of debate) on Facebook—trusting your partner with your finances. Someone posted that if you trust your partner enough to have sex with them and to marry them, then you should trust them with your money. And let me tell you, I did not agree.There’s so much to unpack here—how financial dynamics have changed across generations, the importance of financial independence (especially for women), and why trust in a relationship isn’t just one-size-fits-all.What I cover in this episode:Why I don’t think financial trust and physical/emotional trust are the sameHow generational shifts have changed the way couples manage moneyThe reality of financial abuse and why keeping some independence is crucialPersonal stories and real-life examples of why separate finances can be smartThe different ways couples handle their money—and why there’s no one right wayAt the end of the day, your finances are about more than just trust—they’re about security, autonomy, and protecting your future. So where do you stand? Are you all-in on joint accounts, team “keep it separate,” or somewhere in the middle? Let’s talk about it.Connect with JessWebsite: www.lovealwaysjess.com/getstartedInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/love.always.jess

From writing down names and details during important phone calls to sending follow-up emails after in-person meetings, having a detailed record can save you time, money, and stress.In this episode, I also emphasize the importance of taking small steps to stay organized in everyday life. This includes ensuring you keep receipts, tracking online orders, and maintaining records of significant transactions or agreements. Proper documentation isn’t just a chore—it’s a safety net that empowers you to advocate for yourself in tricky situations.As we step into 2025, let’s embrace the opportunities ahead with intention and focus.

44. Navigating Intimacy Beyond Sex: Building Connection with Your Partner
In this episode, we dive into the expectations and pressures surrounding sexual intimacy in relationships and explore ways to connect with your partner beyond the physical. Host [Your Name] breaks down societal norms, discusses the impact of upbringing on intimacy, and provides actionable strategies for fostering a deeper emotional bond. Whether you’re navigating mismatched desires or seeking to enhance your relationship’s foundation, this conversation offers insights into building intimacy that goes beyond the bedroom.Key Discussion Points:Societal pressures often create unrealistic expectations around sex in relationships. Many of us grow up with narratives that prioritize sexual activity as the ultimate expression of love, leaving little room to explore other forms of connection. This episode challenges those ideas and encourages reflection on personal needs and communication with your partner.When desires don’t align, it can lead to feelings of rejection or guilt. By taking a pause and having honest conversations, couples can create a safe space for intimacy to flourish in ways that go beyond the physical. Suggestions include cuddling, sharing activities, or simply spending uninterrupted time together. These moments foster emotional closeness and build trust, laying the groundwork for deeper intimacy—whether or not it leads to sex.“Our jobs as humans aren’t just to ‘bang one out’—it’s to grow, love, and connect in a multitude of ways.”“Intimacy isn’t just about sex; it’s about being present with each other in every sense.”Start exploring ways to connect with your partner outside of sexual activity. Whether it’s a heartfelt conversation, a shared chore, or a quiet moment together, these acts of intimacy can strengthen your bond and create a foundation of trust and understanding.Don’t forget to subscribe to the podcast for more conversations on relationships and personal growth.
