232: Not Tonight Part 2: Conversations with Marriage and Family Therapist, Dr. Kimmery Newsom

What happens when “Not Tonight” slowly becomes “Not This Century”?

In Episode 227, Dr. Sonia introduced her perspective on why saying “not tonight” can actually protect intimacy by honoring honesty, consent, and authenticity.

In this follow-up conversation, she sits down with marriage and family therapist Dr. Kimmery Newsom to explore what happens when “not tonight” becomes a pattern—and how couples can begin finding their way back to connection.

Together, they discuss why intimacy often struggles when trust, communication, and emotional safety have been damaged, and why sexual disconnection is often a symptom of something deeper.

Because intimacy isn’t built through obligation.

It thrives through trust. Communication. Vulnerability. Connection. And repair.

💎 In This Episode, You’ll Learn:

✔️ Why “not tonight” is often a symptom rather than the problem ✔️ How repeated rejection impacts both partners ✔️ The role trust plays in rebuilding intimacy ✔️ Why communication is the foundation of connection ✔️ A simple therapist-approved communication tool couples can use today ✔️ The difference between forgiveness and reconciliation ✔️ How emotional safety supports intimacy ✔️ Practical steps for rebuilding physical and emotional connection ✔️ Why relationship repair is a process, not an event ✔️ How couples can move from disconnection back to intimacy

This conversation is honest, practical, compassionate, and full of hope for couples who want to reconnect.

Because you’re not broken.

And your relationship may not be broken either.

Sometimes the path back to intimacy begins with a single conversation.
