You love your husband, but deep down, something’s off. You feel disconnected, exhausted, and maybe even a little numb. You keep saying you're tired… but your heart knows there’s more. If you’ve been stuck in a loop of guilt, confusion, or avoidance around intimacy—this episode is for you. Let’s break the silence, sister. You're not broken. You're not alone. You're seen.

🔥 Episode Summary:
In this bold and tender third installment of the “Naked and Unashamed” series, Michelle Castro gets raw about something many Christian wives quietly wrestle with: low desire and intimacy avoidance. If you’ve ever wondered, “What’s wrong with me?” when it comes to sex and connection in your marriage—this mini-sode will speak straight to your soul.

Michelle gently challenges the lie that exhaustion is the end of the story. She reminds us that healing isn’t found in avoidance but in honest exploration—physically, emotionally, and spiritually. And she powerfully reframes desire as a God-given gift, not a source of shame. No more survival-mode marriage. It’s time to go deeper.

🎧 In This Episode, You’ll Discover:

• Why “I’m just tired” might be hiding a deeper disconnection

• The truth about desire and why it’s not sinful or selfish

• How avoidance and guilt are keeping you from healing

• What to do when prayer alone isn’t “fixing” your sex life

• Practical, grace-filled ways to invite God into your intimacy

• A powerful invitation to rediscover God's design for connection
