When life feels overwhelming, sex is usually the last thing on our minds.

Between overstimulation, nonstop to-do lists, and caring for everyone else, many of us feel touched out—like our bodies have nothing left to give. But what if instead of avoiding touch, we could reimagine it as a source of nourishment, not depletion?

"I used to think I needed to escape my body to rest. Now I know, nourishing touch can bring me back home to myself."

In this episode, Francie unpacks a tender and practical reframe of what it means to reconnect with your body (and your spouse) in the middle of real-life exhaustion. Through story, prayer, and science-backed insight, she shares why touch, when rightly timed and received, can restore your nervous system, renew your energy, and deepen intimacy in the messiest seasons.

You'll hear:
– Why women often feel "touched out" and how to name it with compassion
– A simple nervous system check-in to tune into what your body really needs
– The four kinds of touch (and how to ask for them without shame)
– How sensual connection can actually lower cortisol and raise oxytocin
– Why pleasure isn't a performance—it's a reset

This isn't about adding sex to your to-do list. It's about receiving the kind of intimacy that truly replenishes you.

If sex has ever felt like something you're supposed to perform, instead of something you can enjoy, you're not alone.

If you've ever felt awkward in your body… unsure how to initiate… or disconnected from desire… this episode is for you.

Francie shares the tender, true story of how she moved from disconnection and insecurity into a deeper sense of embodiment, pleasure, and playful confidence in her marriage.

"I used to think sexy was something I had to put on. But now I know, it's something I carry when I'm connected to myself."

You'll discover:
Why feeling "off" or uncertain in your body is more common than you think
How to gently reawaken pleasure and presence (even after years of disconnection)
What it looks like to cultivate feminine energy and confidence in your own way
Simple, grace-filled ways to start feeling more at home in your body and more alive in your marriage

This isn't about pressure or performance. It's about reclaiming the goodness God designed for you… body, heart, and soul.
