Beschrijving

If your desire has changed and you don’t know why — this conversation is for you. In this episode of A Woman’s Desire Series Dr. Lonnie Marie explores the connection between emotional safety and female desire. Because here’s the truth: Most women don’t lose desire. They lose safety. And when emotional safety disappears, the nervous system shifts into protection mode which directly impacts intimacy, arousal, and connection. In this video, we explore: • What emotional safety actually means in relationships • Why love and desire are not the same system • How attachment security affects intimacy • The “gas and brakes” model of arousal • Why pressure kills desire • How broken trust impacts the body • Why women can love deeply but still shut down sexually This is not about blaming men. And it’s not about fixing women. It’s about understanding how safety, trust, and connection shape desire. If you’ve ever felt: • emotionally alone in a relationship • confused about your low libido • disconnected from your body • pressured instead of chosen You are not broken. You may just need safety restored. 🌿 This is part of the “A Woman’s Desire” series. ---------------------------------------- ✨ WANT TO GO DEEPER? 💌 Pamper Me: Sexy & Sacred — A 7-Day Feminine Reset Reclaim your peace, pleasure, and connection without pressure. 👉 https://stan.store/drlonniemarie [https://stan.store/drlonniemarie] 🔗 All Links: https://linktr.ee/drlonniemarie [https://linktr.ee/drlonniemarie] ---------------------------------------- 🔍 SEARCH-BOOSTING KEYWORDS emotional safety in relationships female desire explained why women lose desire low libido in marriage emotional connection and sex attachment and intimacy gas and brakes sexual model why she doesn’t want sex married but emotionally disconnected women and nervous system regulation intimacy problems in long term relationships ---------------------------------------- #HASHTAGS #EmotionalSafety #FemaleDesire #WomenAndIntimacy #AttachmentTheory #RelationshipHealing #WomenOver40 #AClonnieMarie #IntimacyEducation

The Reclaim Room | The Woman Beneath Survival Mode

Have you ever found yourself saying: "I don't feel like myself anymore?" You're not alone. In this Reclaim Room conversation, Dr. Lonnie Marie explores why so many women feel disconnected from themselves during seasons of caregiving, responsibility, transition, and change. What if you haven't lost yourself? What if you've simply adapted to the demands of life so well that you've forgotten how to reconnect with the woman underneath all the roles? Together, we explore: • Why so many women feel disconnected from themselves • The difference between functioning and flourishing • What helped you survive may not help you flourish • The transition from caregiving to selfhood • Why midlife can feel both beautiful and unsettling • How to begin reclaiming yourself again • The importance of choosing yourself without guilt This conversation is for the woman who has spent years caring for everyone else and is finally asking: What do I need now? Maybe reclaiming isn't about becoming someone new. Maybe it's about reconnecting with the woman who has been there all along. THE RECLAIM ROOM The Reclaim Room is a monthly conversation for women navigating healing, identity, relationships, self-trust, and becoming. A space to pause. A space to reconnect. A space to reclaim yourself.

You Don't Miss the Old You—You Miss Who You Were Before Survival Mode

WHO WAS SHE? Do you ever find yourself saying: "I don't feel like myself anymore." What if the problem isn't that you've changed? What if you've simply spent so many years surviving that you've forgotten what it feels like to be fully you? In this conversation, Dr. Lonnie Marie explores how survival mode quietly shapes our identity, our relationships, and our connection to ourselves. Many women spend years being strong, responsible, dependable, and resilient. But eventually, a question begins to surface: Who am I underneath all of the survival? In this video, we explore: • Why survival mode becomes an identity • How women lose connection with themselves over time • The hidden cost of always being the strong one • Why midlife can feel confusing and emotional • The shift from survival to selfhood • How to begin trusting yourself again Maybe you're not broken. Maybe you're not lost. Maybe you're simply being invited back to yourself. ---------------------------------------- 💌 Pamper Me: Sexy & Sacred — A 7-Day Feminine Reset 👉 https://stan.store/drlonniemarie [https://stan.store/drlonniemarie] 📚 Books Mentioned & Recommended Reading 👉 https://benable.com/drlonnie_marie2 [https://benable.com/drlonnie_marie2] 🔗 Connect with me 👉 https://linktr.ee/drlonniemarie [https://linktr.ee/drlonniemarie] #WomenOver40 #SurvivalMode #SelfDiscovery #PersonalGrowth #Becoming

The Version of You That Learned to Survive (And Why She Won’t Let Go)

Have you ever felt like you’ve outgrown a version of yourself… but you don’t know how to let her go? In this video, Dr. Lonnie Marie explores the survival version of ourselves — the part that learned how to stay strong, keep going, and hold everything together through difficult seasons of life. For many women, survival becomes an identity. We become the caretaker. The fixer. The strong one. The woman who always finds a way. But what happens when the version of you that helped you survive is no longer the version of you meant to lead your life? In this episode, we explore: • How survival identities are formed • Why it can feel difficult to relax, trust, or let go of control • The connection between survival mode and emotional disconnection • Why many women feel lost or disconnected in midlife • The transition from survival to selfhood • What it takes to begin trusting yourself again We also discuss insights from Age Like a Girl by Dr. Mindy Pelz and the idea that women move through different seasons of development—from girlhood, to motherhood, and eventually into a deeper season of wisdom, clarity, and selfhood. Maybe you're not falling apart. Maybe you're transforming. Maybe the version of you that learned to survive is making room for the woman you're becoming.
