    I find JFF’s teachings to be incredibly insightful, and love that she doesn’t shy away from the complexities of life in the best way. I also find her teachings to be rooted in the gospel of the LDS faith, she blends relational theory with the gospel in a beautiful way that just makes sense to me, leading to an increased desire to love better while also not losing yourself.

    Jennifer’s podcast is unlike anything else I’ve heard. She explains not just what needs to change in relationships, but why, in a way that’s insightful, relatable, and easy to understand. We’ve all been one of the people in the couples she describes, which makes her advice feel personal and practical. She helps you see yourself, understand your relationships better, and gives you real tools to create lasting change. Highly recommend!

  • Nuanced Personal Development

    Dr. Jennifer Finlayson-Fife is my favorite content creator for personal development. She is a deep thinker, well educated, credentialed, considerate and loving. She helps her audience to consider new avenues for growth, more curiousity about what is true, and to act with courage to honor what's desirable. She sees each person as a powerful creator, and helps to inspire them to move towards regulation and aligned behavior. The resulting development, connection and intimacy are priceless.

  • Really good and insightful

    JFF is fantastic. I absolutely love the information provided. I feel like she gives new insights and understanding to topics that are misrepresented or misunderstood. The only reason I’ve given it 4 stars is because it is heavily through the eyes of women. It’s not a bad thing, but I feel like most episodes are through the eyes of the female perspective. Sometimes episodes, misrepresent how men feel and what we actually want. Sometimes guests will beat that old drum “men just want quantity” whi... more

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

What About Sex for Older LDS Singles?
Q: Can intimacy be meaningful without marriage for older singles, and how should they approach it?
Intimacy can be meaningful in various forms, including non-sexual closeness or mutually agreed-upon intimate experiences, provided they are guided by genuine consent, personal integrity, and a shared understanding of what supports the couple's long-term wellbeing.
What About Sex for Older LDS Singles?
Q: What does chastity mean for older singles who have never wed or who are widowed/divorced?
Chastity is reframed as a path to cultivate wisdom, self-control, and a nuanced relationship with pleasure, rather than mere prohibition; it involves discernment, personal agency, and aligning actions with what one believes is right for their life situation.
Desire & Devotion
Q: What is the role of developmental stages in how couples experience sexuality and intimacy?
Developmental stages provide a map for how people internalize standards, move toward authentic self-authoring, and eventually integrate sexuality with love and partnership, leading to more mature, agency-filled relationships.
Desire & Devotion
Q: Dr. Finlayson-Fife, how do you frame the idea that conflict can be the growth engine of a relationship?
By reframing conflict as information about our own fears, needs, and beliefs, and guiding couples to stay curious, listen, and collaborate on solutions, so they can understand each other at a deeper level and strengthen their bond.
Tener Sexo vs. Hacer el amor [Having Sex vs Making Love]
Q: What role does the body play in deepening intimacy?
The body communicates meaning and intention; honoring physical expression as a sacred aspect of relationship strengthens emotional and spiritual bonds, rather than treating sex as a transaction.
