  • Ribbons and Bows: Wrapping Up the Brad and Kate Series [Brad and Kate - Part 9]

    In this episode of Room for Two, Dr. Finlayson-Fife wraps up the Brad and Kate series by helping them see what step one is actually doing—and why it's worth protecting. She encourages them to keep doing step one and, when they feel ready, to begin moving toward step two—which will require courage and exposure. She's clear that for the exercise to be meaningful, that courage must come from an internal anchor, not from an effort to please Brad or demonstrate progress. For Brad, the work is trusting the process without jumping to the finish line. For Kate, it's continuing to step into uncertainty—not because Brad needs it, but because she wants to create a marriage that's freer and has more eros energy in it.

  • Still, Still, Still: Purposeful Patience vs Pretending [Brad and Kate - Part 8]

    In this episode of Room for Two, Dr. Finlayson-Fife puts an important question on the table about whether Kate's actions are being driven by her comfort or her courage. Because patience is a virtue when something meaningful is happening—even if it's not happening at the pace you want—but patience is not a virtue when it's about pretending something's happening when it isn't.

  • Making Peace with Our Sexuality

    In this episode, Dr. Jennifer Finlayson-Fife joins Dan Purcell of the Get Your Marriage On podcast to discuss her book That We Might Have Joy and the role of eros energy—the aliveness that emerges when couples stop running their marriages from fear, control, and ego. Through stories from the book—like Samuel, whose fear of sexual feelings kept him stuck, and Bradley, whose relentless pursuit of sex was driven by shame—Dr. Jennifer shows how sexual repression doesn’t make us more spiritual. It just keeps us fragmented.
