097. Redefining Intimacy, Pleasure, and Connection with Amy Color

Today’s conversation is one we’ve never explored on the podcast before and yet it probably has impacted you in some way, shape or form. It’s such an important one. I’m joined by the amazing Amy Color, a certified s€x and relationship coach. Amy is a nationally recognized intimacy coach, TED speaker with over a million views, and author of The Huddle: How to Score in Sex & Love. She’s also the creator of The Intimacy Game Plan, a powerful framework that helps people go from feeling like roommates to becoming true playmates in their relationship. Together, we dive into the true meaning of intimacy, common barriers couples face, how to nurture deeper connection, and why pleasure and intimacy often need intentional tending in our busy lives. Amy also shares powerful analogies that will completely shift the way you think about intimacy, from "football" games to heart stickers. 🏈💖 We also talk about: ✨Why scheduling pleasure is essential (and how to do it!) ✨How busyness impacts connection (and how stillness changes everything) ✨What tantra really means, beyond the buzzwords How societal shame impacts intimacy and how to begin unlearning it ✨Actionable tips for couples navigating different desires and needs Amy’s insights are beautiful, honest, and full of compassion, you’ll leave this episode with a deeper understanding of yourself, your relationships, and how intimacy can feel nourishing instead of performative.
