Finding Strength in Adversity: A Journey Through Losing my Home
Finding Strength in Adversity: A Journey Through Losing my Home The Labour Day weekend of 2023 was not how I’d imagined spending it. The rush
You didn’t come here to play by the rules.
You came to feel alive
So why are you still following someone else’s script when it comes to love, sex, and intimacy?
Most of us were handed a “standard issue” version of relationships: one path, one definition of success, one idea of what desire should look like. And even if we’ve outgrown those beliefs, we often carry them anyway, tucked into our body language, our bedroom routines, our silences.
It’s time to let that shit go.
To break the mold and write your own intimacy story … one that’s built on honesty, liberation, and electric connection.
Maybe you were told that “good girls don’t want sex”.
Maybe your partner was raised to believe vulnerability is weakness.
Maybe you both assume that passion just fades over time; like it’s some inevitable expiration date.
But none of that is the truth … it’s just programming.
And it’s killing our desire.
When we blindly follow someone else’s rules, we lose connection to ourselves, to our bodies, and to each other.
What Does Your Intimacy Look Like?
Let’s shake it up.
Ask yourself (or better yet ask each other):
Deep connection doesn’t have to look like candlelight and eye gazing (unless you’re into that). It might look like laughing together in the kitchen. Messy honesty. Erotic exploration. Or even setting boundaries that keep you grounded.
Real intimacy isn’t performative … it’s personal.
And when it’s personal, it’s powerful.
Here’s how to start crafting your own rules — solo or with a partner:
Try this journaling prompt:
If I trusted my body and my truth 100%, what would I stop doing? What would I do more of?
Say to your partner:
“Can we talk about what’s been working between us… and what we’re ready to shift?”
Not just solo sex (though yes to that too), but also:
This isn’t about rebellion for rebellion’s sake.
It’s about reclaiming your connection.
To yourself.
To each other.
To the kind of pleasure and intimacy that’s actually yours.
If that’s the kind of freedom you’re craving … I’ve got you.
