Kate and Janna unravel the complex dynamics of Kate’s 19-year marriage marked by a common tradition – the recurrent gift of lingerie.

Although intended as a sweet gesture, these presents took a toll on Kate, leaving her feeling embarrassed and awkward, along with dwindling her libido and decreasing her desire for sex. As the duo discusses the cultural implications of gifting lingerie, Kate's story becomes a powerful testament to self-empowerment, shedding light on how societal norms can hinder authentic connection.

In this episode, Kate and Janna navigate the delicate balance between intention and impact in intimate relationships. They explore the transformative journey of reclaiming one's sense of self, challenging established norms, and fostering genuine connection in the realm of intimacy.
