From a young age, Kris learned to suppress his emotions and handle his feelings alone. His friends, family, and culture reinforced this mindset, showing him quick fixes for managing his growing anxiety, such as drinking alcohol, using drugs, or turning to adult entertainment. Over time, he became an expert at burying his emotions, but this came at a cost—dark moods, silence, and withdrawal from his family and marriage.

After decades of living this way, Kris hit a breaking point and, with hesitation, opened up to his wife about his struggles. What he didn’t know was that she had been listening to Janna’s podcast for years and suggested they try the Doing It Together program. In this episode, Kris shares his transformative experience in the program, how he faced his greatest fears, and what he’s learned about emotions, communication, and the difference between intimacy and sex.
