The PGspot - Five Ways We Sabotage Intimacy

from The PGspot · host Patty Jalomo

Intimacy doesn’t usually fall apart overnight, it fades in the small, everyday ways we show up (or don’t) in our relationships. In this episode, we’re breaking down five common ways we unintentionally sabotage intimacy and what we can start doing differently.From letting flirting and playfulness disappear, to expecting sex to “just happen,” to avoiding the conversations that actually bring us closer…these patterns are more common than you think. And the truth is, most of us were never taught how to nurture intimacy in a sustainable, connected way.We’ll also talk about why focusing on performance over connection can backfire, how unspoken resentment quietly erodes desire, and why communication is one of the most powerful (and underused) tools in our relationships.If you’ve ever felt disconnected, stuck in routine, or unsure how to reconnect with your partner, this episode is for you.Because awareness is the first step…but action is what creates change.I would love to hear your feedback about today's episode, as well as any questions or topics that you would like addressed in future episodes.
