  • Sky Lounge: Finding Ease Through Settling In [Rob and Stef - Part 9]

    At the end of their last session, Dr. Finlayson-Fife encouraged Rob and Stef to spend intentional time together each night “settling in”—no phones, no shows, no pressure. Just the simple act of lying beside each other, calming their own hearts and minds, and creating space to connect. But what sounds simple on paper proves deeply challenging in practice. In this episode of Room for Two, Dr. Finlayson-Fife helps Rob and Stef unpack what their experience with the exercise reveals about their long-standing relational dynamic. Rob tries to regulate his anxiety by moving toward connection; Stef manages hers by pulling away. It’s a pursuing-distancing pattern they both know well—and one that quietly undermines the closeness they long for. Dr. Jennifer teaches that intimacy doesn’t come from pressuring or retreating, but from self-regulation and finding peace within ourselves before we connect with our partner.

  • Autopilot: Letting Go of Control to Find Connection [Rob and Stef - Part 8]

    In this episode of Room for Two, Dr. Finlayson-Fife helps Rob and Stef unpack the subtle but persistent ways they try to manage each other rather than reveal themselves. Rob pressures for connection—hinting at discontent rather than self-revealing. Stef feels pressured and distances in response in order to maintain her sense of self. The result is a self-reinforcing loop where each feels like a disappointment to the other, rather than desired.

  • Developing Strength | A Deep Dive on Masculinity

    Many men carry inherited messages about masculinity and sexuality that quietly undermine their peace with themselves—and interfere with their ability to show up with strength and clarity in their marriages. In this powerful conversation with Rhonda Farr, Dr. Jennifer Finlayson-Fife challenges those inherited ideas and reframes strength—not as certainty or control—but as the courage to look honestly at yourself. The courage to tolerate feedback, consider your impact, and use discomfort as a catalyst for growth.
