Shownotes

Whether you’re single, dating, or decades into a relationship, this conversation will make you pause and reflect on how you connect, communicate, and show up in all types of relationships.

In this episode, Tara sits down with Laira Thomas - a dating, marriage, and intimacy facilitator - to talk about what it really takes to build connection that lasts. Together they explore the realities of long-term relationships: how to keep communication open, how to navigate seasons of distance, and how to bring intimacy back into your relationship. We also explore how to know when its time for a new chapter and why healing and loving yourself is the number one priority.

You’ll walk away with fresh perspective and real tools to help you deepen your connections, rebuild trust, and reignite intimacy - whether that’s with a partner, a friend or within yourself.
