In this episode of The Empower Create Encourage Podcast, I sit down with Christian sexpert Angela Griffith for a refreshingly honest conversation about intimacy, expectations, and the myths that quietly shape our marriages.

Angela brings wisdom, humor, and a deeply grounded perspective as we unpack the pressures couples carry into the bedroom, especially the cultural lie that every sexual experience should be “mind‑blowing” or cinematic. Together, we explore what real intimacy looks like when we let go of unrealistic expectations and embrace connection over performance.

We dive into:

• Why married sex isn’t always mind‑blowingly orgasmic and why that’s not a sign of failure
• The biggest lie Hollywood tells us about sex and how it distorts our expectations
• Patterns that keep couples from experiencing fulfilling intimacy
• Strategies for building connection that go beyond physical touch
• The different types of intimacy every marriage needs to thrive
• Why fun and recreational play is often the first intimacy to disappear and how to bring it back
• Sex journaling as a powerful tool for communication, clarity, and growth

If you’re ready to rethink what great sex in marriage really looks like and find freedom from the pressure to “perform” this episode will encourage you and give you tools to grow.

🎧 Tune in and remember: You are empowered to create the love, life, and reality you desire.
