Get ready - today we’re talking about sex. The real kind. Not the candlelit, slow-motion, rom-com version. The “we love each other but I’m exhausted, inflamed, hormonally confused, and my joints sound like bubble wrap” version.

This episode is for the couples who deeply love each other… but feel like intimacy has gotten complicated. Not because the spark is dead. Not because anyone’s failing. But because chronic illness, infertility, trauma, medication side effects, body changes, stress, and mental load have entered the chat — and they did not bring champagne.

We’re unpacking why sex often becomes the first place strain shows up in a relationship when your nervous system is fried. Why safety matters more than spontaneity. Why shame makes everything worse. And why “just try harder” is the worst advice ever given to a tired human with a hormone imbalance.

This is not about pressure. It’s not about performance. It’s about connection. About understanding that intimacy shifts in seasons. About grieving the body you used to have without turning against the one you live in now. About learning how to talk without defensiveness and listen without panic.

If Valentine’s content made you roll your eyes and reach for chocolate instead of lingerie — you are not alone.

Sex isn’t the engine of a relationship. It’s often the temperature check. And when life gets layered, the goal isn’t perfection — it’s safety, honesty, and rebuilding closeness in ways that honor your body instead of fighting it.

So grab your headphones. This one’s tender, real, and maybe exactly what your relationship needs to hear. 💛

Hey friends, welcome back...and congratulations, you survived another year. Which means you’re probably tired, reflective, and already being pressured to know what your “goals” are before you’ve even finished processing what last year cost you.

Today’s episode is I’d Like to Unsubscribe from New Year, New Me Pressure. January has a way of showing up like an uninvited life coach, demanding optimism, discipline, and a five-step plan… while your nervous system is still in recovery mode.

This isn’t an episode about reinventing yourself, waking up at 5 a.m., or becoming a “new year, new personality” person. Hard pass. It’s about why resolutions fail (spoiler: your brain and body hate pressure), why intensity feels exciting but rarely sustainable, and why so many of us burn out by February feeling like we “did it wrong” again.

We dig into the science of stress, cortisol, and decision fatigue, especially for those living with chronic illness, trauma histories, or caregiving roles. We talk about why desperation is a terrible place to build habits from, and why your nervous system needs safety before it can sustain change. And yes — we lovingly call out resolution & hustle culture for confusing growth with punishment.

Instead of resolutions, we introduce a gentler, smarter framework: intentions, values, and what we call the Wish List Method. Not a to-do list. Not a self-improvement boot camp. Just an honest inventory of what actually matters in this season of your life — and what you’re realistically able to hold.

If you’re walking into this year hopeful but cautious… tired but still wanting something better… this episode is for you. You don’t need more pressure. You need alignment, permission, and a plan that doesn’t ask you to sacrifice your health to prove your worth.

Let’s unsubscribe from the guilt — and move forward wisely, together. ✨ XOXO, Marisa & Britt *Also, please follow us on Insta @lupuschickofficial and @idliketounsibscribe and @goddoesntsuck - or learn more about us at www.Idliketounsubscribe.com

Hey friends. And welcome back to I’d Like to Unsubscribe — the podcast where we lovingly roast our own coping mechanisms and admit that sometimes… we are not a delight.

Today’s episode is I’d Like to Unsubscribe from My Negativity. Because let’s be honest: when you live with chronic illness, trauma, or long-term stress, negativity isn’t a personality flaw — it’s often a survival skill that overstayed its welcome.

You might feel during or post-holiday season that everything is cranked up. Grief. Expectations. Old wounds. The life you thought you’d be living by now. And suddenly you’re not just tired — you’re spiraling, snappy, cynical, and wondering when you became this person. (Answer: you didn’t. Your nervous system did.)

In this episode, we break down why negativity shows up in the first place — and spoiler alert, it’s not because you’re ungrateful or spiritually failing. We talk science: cortisol, trauma, chronic inflammation, and how your brain literally gets stuck in threat mode. We talk psychology: how negativity becomes protection. And yes, we talk faith — because Jesus has a lot to say about weariness, despair, and hope that doesn’t come from pretending everything’s fine.

This is not a “just think positive” episode. Hard pass. This is a real conversation about how negativity forms, why it feels so hard to shake, and how to gently — compassionately — find your way back to hope without shaming yourself into it.

If you’ve been stuck in your own head lately… if you don’t recognize the version of yourself that shows up exhausted and pessimistic… you’re not broken. You’re human. And you’re not alone.
