  • In this episode of the Intimate Marriage Podcast, Alexandra Stockwell, MD, is joined by her husband, Rodd Stockwell, MD, to discuss empty nesting and its impact on their marriage. They reflect on a pivotal moment when Rodd expressed concern about what their relationship would look like once their children left home and they had more time with one another. Dr Alexandra expresses how this concern functioned as a catalyst for her to wake up and work on her marriage, eventually leading to her professional evolution and ongoing dedication to coaching couples toward deeper intimacy and strategies to keep the spark alive in long-lasting marriages.

    Also in this episode:

    Becoming empty nesters brings up concerns about the basis of a couple's connection, but this transition offers an opportunity for growth and rediscovery.

    Time set aside for a couple's intimacy, like overnight dates, is crucial for maintaining and enhancing a romantic connection–this is the time when the children's needs no longer dominate your attention.

    Authentic communication and a deliberate focus on each other's desires transform the marriage dynamic ahead of and during the empty nest phase.

  • In this episode of the Intimate Marriage podcast, Alexandra Stockwell, MD and Tilly Storm, focus on the pleasure principle as they explore ways to foster passionate relationships and venture into new dimensions of erotic intimacy. Tilly has extensive expertise in women’s sexuality and guides couples to renew the spark and access more pleasure in their intimate lives. The two of them discuss "wholeness" as an essential ingredient for pleasure, ways to foster pleasure-positive attitudes in children, and marital challenges such as sexual incompatibility and how to talk about it.

    Also in this episode:

    Normalizing the conversation around pleasure with children contributes to a healthier understanding of sexuality as they mature.

    Couples often experience a "turn on mismatch," which should be navigated by learning and understanding one another’s erotic blueprints.

    Guided sex experiences are a safe, exploratory space for couples to reignite their sexual connection and learn new ways to engage with each other.

    About Tilly Storm:

    When not at home in Hollywood, FL, Tilly loves traveling the world with her 2 teenage boys for the next hot surf spot, and going on personal growth and development retreats with her life partner, Chris. Tilly's been studying women’s bodies and sexuality for over 20 years, first as a pre-med biochemistry major and aspiring OB/GYN, then as a doula and midwife apprentice, and now as a somatic sex coach since 2017. After 350,000+ downloads on her podcast - The Multiorgasmic Millionaire, being voted one of the top 20 sex coaches in the world, and working with hundreds of paying clients, she's learned a lot about what it takes to help high-achieving women integrate things like lack of desire, shame, guilt, fear, and numbness and help them feel amazing in their body and sexuality.

  • In this episode of the Intimate Marriage podcast, Alexandra Stockwell, MD dives into confidence and how it shapes success in love and life. She sheds light on the crucial role of self-confidence and how attractive it is within intimate relationships, and more specifically, how it plays out among ambitious, educated couples.

    Dr Alexandra explores the common scenario where one partner craves more from their relationship while the other seems content with the status quo. She provides guidance on how to reignite passion and cultivate a deeper sense of self-worth, emphasizing the magnetic power of confidence as one of the ultimate keys to a more fulfilling and vibrant partnership.

    Also in this episode:

    Confidence is the most attractive quality in a partner and a fundamental ingredient for a passionate and thriving marriage.

    Seeking affirmation and validation from a partner creates an unhealthy parent-child dynamic, which is detrimental for erotic connection.

    The best course of action for someone feeling needy or rejected is to focus on developing their own sense of value and self-worth.

    Bringing one's confident, successful self (with authenticity, not bravado) from your professional life into your personal relationship is a pivot that will result in a significant improvement in intimacy.

  • In this episode of the Intimate Marriage Podcast, Alexandra Stockwell, MD dives into the profound impact that small, thoughtful gestures can have on creating a deeper connection in marriage. She emphasizes that such acts don’t have to be expensive or time-consuming, as the smallest deeds are sometimes the most significant in nurturing a deep connection between partners. Put differently, small gestures are the seeds which grow into emotional, sensual, and erotic intimacy blossoms.

    Dr. Alexandra brings up the concept that 'Small is Beautiful,' explaining how minor, deliberate actions—like turning on an outside light or sending an estimated time of arrival—can express profound love and care in a relationship. She provides practical advice on how couples can integrate these minor but mighty acts of love into their daily routine to enhance closeness and connection.

    Also in this episode:

    Small, easy gestures in daily life have a huge impact on the emotional and intimate connection in a marriage.

    Consistency in these acts is key, not the complexity or grandeur of the gesture.

    Romantic gestures don't need to be spontaneous; they can be planned and scheduled by the giver while still allowing for a feeling of spontaneity and surprise for the one receiving them.

    The 'no pain, no gain' philosophy does not apply when cultivating relationships; well chosen, simple acts, which require minimal effort, can yield significant results.

  • In this episode of the Intimate Marriage Podcast, Alexandra Stockwell, MD dives into the importance of communication and how essential it is in creating a passionate marriage. She describes ways to adjust how you listen so as to evoke more depth, meaning, and intimacy in what your partner shares with you.

    Dr. Alexandra is a seasoned expert when it comes to fostering deep connection in couples. Drawing on her experience as a physician, relationship and intimacy coach, and her own 27-year marriage, she describes common misconceptions that often play out in marital discourse and how to avoid them.

    Also in this episode:

    Successful communication in marriage results at least as much from how we listen, as from how we speak. A partner's actions can be a powerful expression of love; learning to 'listen' to these actions enhances connection, appreciation, and intimacy. Simple shifts in a listener’s perspective can resolve misunderstandings and open doors to deeper emotional intimacy. The concept of "generous listening" is a strategy which leads to richer layers of meaning and feelings of connection while in conversation with your spouse.

    Understanding the separation between one's thoughts and reality is key to experiencing life beyond self-imposed limitations.
