  • 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.

  • The Sex Talk Your Kids Actually Need

    In this episode, Dr. Finlayson-Fife joins Holly J. Moore of the Made for Moore podcast to discuss how parents can approach conversations about sex and sexuality with their children in a way that is honest, ongoing, and shame-free. They explore why discomfort doesn't have to be a barrier, how to begin these conversations early and keep them going, and how offering values around sexuality — rather than fear or shame — empowers children to make informed, confident, and integrity-driven choices as they grow.

  • Using the Enneagram to Understand Your Relationship | Room for Two Teaser

    Brad and Kate have been working to understand themselves and each other better, using the Enneagram to better understand how they each respond to stress and disconnection. They've been talking more openly and defending less—but when tensions rise, Brad moves toward action and physical closeness, hoping connection will bring relief while Kate pulls back, wanting to feel emotionally secure before opening up. This leaves Brad feeling rejected and Kate worried that intimacy is more about sex itself than truly being with her. Because Brad seems steady on the surface and Kate is openly emotional, it's easy for both of them to assume she's the problem—but they're equally dysregulated, just in different ways.

  • ADHD in Marriage

    In this episode, Dr. Finlayson-Fife joins Kamden Hainsworth of the Busy Brained Saint podcast to talk about what it looks like for both partners in a neurodiverse marriage to show up as whole people — owning what is theirs, releasing what isn't, and finding more freedom than they expected on the other side.

  • Keeping the Spark Alive

    In this episode, Dr. Jennifer Finlayson-Fife joins the Date Your Spouse team to talk about what couples can do to bring a sense of aliveness to their marriage. She challenges the idea that going along to keep the peace is an act of love, explains why duty-based sex quietly destroys desire, and offers a surprisingly simple practice any couple can try TONIGHT to create more intimacy and connection.

  • 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.
