289. Restoring Intimacy After Trauma w/ Becky Aste

In today’s episode, I’m joined by Becky Aste, a trauma-informed marriage coach who equips ambitious wives to repair thriving connection in their relationship by moving trauma out of the body.

She walks us through her story of how she stumbled upon somatic healing during one of the most challenging chapters of her life, and how it ultimately allowed her once-painful marriage to become sustainable and profoundly healing. 

We discuss the necessity of evolving our partnerships as we inevitably change and grow, and why our nervous systems struggle to let go of what’s familiar when we try to make space for what is more aligned.

Tune into today’s episode to be reminded of the magic that happens when we come home to our bodies.

IN THIS EPISODE WE TALK ABOUT:

• Taking ownership of what we contribute to our relationship dynamics.
• What the vagus nerve can teach us about the importance of somatic healing.
• Why mentorship can increase the potency and speed of our healing.
• The myth of the “honeymoon phase” and the real reason that couples lose their spark.
