Doing It Together: Making Sense of Low Libido, Sex, and Intimacy in Marriage.

In this week’s episode, Janna sits down with Zoe, who shares her deeply personal journey through 30 years of struggles with intimacy in her marriage. For years, what was meant to be a natural part of life became a chore—a cycle of guilt, resentment, and exhaustion that left her feeling broken. Even after the kids moved out, Zoe thought the situation would improve, but it didn’t. When her husband expressed his dissatisfaction, Zoe blamed herself, unsure how to break free from the pattern that had trapped her for decades.

But everything changed when Zoe found this podcast. In the episodes, she discovered she wasn’t alone. Other women were struggling with the same issues, and hearing their stories opened up new possibilities for her and her marriage. Today, Zoe feels a sense of freedom she never thought possible. Tune in to hear her story and learn how breaking the cycle is not only possible—it's transformative. If you’ve been feeling stuck, this episode could be the first step toward reclaiming your intimacy, joy, and connection.

In this empowering solo episode of Doing It Together, host Janna Denton-Howes delves into the transformative power of self-advocacy for women. Janna, a seasoned relationship coach and sex educator, shares her insights on overcoming cultural barriers to embrace true pleasure and connection. Discover the essential stages of self-advocacy, the roadblocks you might face, and the importance of understanding your unique needs.

Janna also introduces her new program, Wanting It More Foundations, designed to empower women to enjoy a fulfilling sex life. Join the conversation and learn how to advocate for yourself and foster deeper intimacy.

Too often, societal pressures push women into roles where productivity and selflessness overshadow the importance of personal joy and connection. Instead of being encouraged to embrace their desires and fully experience their bodies, many women find themselves burdened by guilt, expectation, and a sense of duty to provide for others. This episode uncovers how these ingrained beliefs create barriers to genuine enjoyment in the bedroom, and lead women to feel a low desire for sex.

Janna shares practical steps for rediscovering joy in life, helping women reconnect with their bodies and desires. By breaking free from the notion of how they "should" act in bed, listeners can learn to cultivate a fulfilling sexual experience rooted in authenticity and self-love.

I have some very exciting news! After years of requests from thousands of women, I'm finally ready to launch a DIY video and journaling program specifically designed for women. This course is your first gentle step toward gaining clarity about your feelings toward sex.

Wanting It More Foundations aims to empower women through reflection and observation. You'll experience freedom and relief as you discover your true self and understand your needs.

You don’t need to involve your partner in this process. The course is designed for you to work at your own pace, featuring simple journaling prompts, exercises, and a moderated discussion forum where you can interact with other women if you choose.

Since this is the inaugural round, I’m offering a very special bonus. This will be the only session of the WIM Foundations course I'll be teaching live in, giving you the opportunity to ask questions and participate in discussions with me. Plus, I’m offering a one-time-only price of $200 USD (the regular price is $300 USD).
