  • Pride and Prejudice: When Performance Costs Peace [Edward and Elinor - Part 4]

    In this episode of Room for Two, Dr. Finlayson-Fife helps Edward see that living for approval has kept him trapped and resentful, and helps Elinor see that peace comes through honesty and truth, not accommodation.

  • Truth and Consequences: Waking Up to Ourselves and Our Impact [Edward and Elinor-Part 3]

    In this episode of Room for Two, Dr. Finlayson-Fife draws on the couple's written dialogue (found HERE) to help Edward face the cost of his low investment—not just on Elinor’s trust and his children’s respect, but on his own integrity. She also helps Elinor see that her way forward isn’t through punishing or persuading Edward, but by staying steady in her own clarity and naming what is happening between them. This shift is what will allow her to hold onto herself, stop collapsing into self-doubt, and encourage the possibility of more honest and productive conversations. Dr. Finlayson-Fife reminds them both that every moment matters—because even small choices either build trust and intimacy or quietly undo them.

  • Intimacy Beyond Validation

    Relationships feel easy when things are going well—when we feel understood and everything between us feels steady. They’re much harder when we’re frustrated, disappointed, or misunderstood. Yet it’s in those moments of friction and honest conflict that we’re invited to grow—to become wiser, more grounded, and more capable of real love. In this NEW episode, Dr. Finlayson-Fife joins Monica Tanner to share insights from That We Might Have Joy and explore how conflict in marriage isn’t a sign that something’s gone wrong, but part of the very process through which deeper intimacy and peace take shape.

  • Reconciling Spirituality and Sexuality

    In this NEW episode, Dr. Finlayson-Fife explores how our own theology, rightly understood, offers a far richer view: that the body is a spiritual gift, and that sex can become the sacrament of marriage—a way of knowing God, ourselves, and each other with more honesty, love, and joy.

  • When Desire is Difficult (and what to do about it!) | Q&A with Dr. Jennifer

    For many women, sex feels like something to get through—another duty to manage, another expectation to meet. And yet, the more we pressure ourselves to “fix” our difficulty with desire, the more elusive it becomes. This is because desire cannot be manufactured. It will never come from obligation, attempts to appease, or from sheer willpower. It only thrives in freedom—when we feel true to ourselves, at ease in our own skin, and at peace with how we are showing up in our lives. In this NEW episode, Dr. Finlayson-Fife unpacks why women so often struggle with desire and and what they can do to cultivate a sexual relationship that feels alive and worth wanting.
