  • Normalizing and supportive

    Janna has a way of normalizing and validating our experiences, however different they may be. She reminds us that the way we see ourselves came from somewhere - we didn’t make it up. Whether it’s society or something someone told us once, she encourages us that we ultimately get to decide what works for us and what is okay with us, regardless of whatever expectations the outside world may have of us.

  • Learning so much!

    This is a podcast I’ve listened to for a long time and never knew how to discuss it with others. It sounded like it was all about S€X and I didn’t know where to go with that. Now I’m in Janna’s course and I see that it is SO MUCH MORE! Learning about communication, equity and equality in the relationship, vulnerability, etc etc. at the risk of sounding hyperbolic, this podcast has changed my life.

  • Listening, Learning, and Truly Understanding Wife’s Desire,19 yr relationship

    This podcast does an incredible job of breaking down women’s sexual desire in a way that’s honest, respectful, and easy to understand. It explains how desire isn’t just physical, but deeply connected to emotions, safety, stress levels, and feeling seen and valued. Listening to this helped me understand why desire can fluctuate and how important patience, communication, and trust really are. It changed the way I listen, respond, and show up for my partner, and that understanding has made our conn... more

  • Divorce? Janna is a fraud!

    Janna is a fraud!

    My wife and I took her class 3 years ago, didn’t help at all. We are now with a certified therapist and this is helping.

    We had a men’s group that we created a text group. We have tracked our group of about 50 couples and after taking Janna’s course 75% of the couples are now divorced? Janna should survey her past participants and I wonder if this is common, 75% divorce rates after taking her course.

    She withheld information on her divorce for 2 years, and continues to do hat... more

  • Amazing

    It’s amazing to me the difference between a Godly marriage podcast and one that is not. Women- do better. I’m a woman. We need to do better. I listened to the Lisa episodes incredulously. How can we justify hurting our men this way? I just don’t know. But this is NOT where it’s at for me. I’ve been married for 27 years and I broke my man with a sexless marriage and I hate myself for it. Women, search your heart. Our men our hurting. They are working in a thankless world to make a life for them a... more

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Why “Fixing” Your Partner Can Destroy Connection - with Derek | Ep. 198
Q: What was the turning point that made you realize something fundamental needed to change in your marriage?
The moment my wife asked if sex could be with someone who loves her just once, which shattered the illusion we'd built and exposed how far we'd wandered from true closeness; it led us to seek therapy and reframe our approach from fixing to understanding and presence.
The Hidden Reason Sex Started Feeling Unsafe - with Erica | Ep. 192
Q: What changed after joining Doing It Together?
The program helped her realize she was not broken, reframe sex away from performance, and start prioritizing mutual pleasure, communication, and safety.
The Hidden Reason Sex Started Feeling Unsafe - with Erica | Ep. 192
Q: How did abstinence and religious context influence your relationship with sex?
Abstinence created boundaries and safety in some ways but also shame and fear when those boundaries were tested, affecting her comfort with sex and her partner's expectations.
The Hidden Reason Sex Started Feeling Unsafe - with Erica | Ep. 192
Q: What was it like growing up with sex education or the lack of it?
Erica describes minimal formal instruction, reliance on media and peers, and early conversations that left gaps; she later emphasizes the value of frank, age-appropriate, and honest discussions about bodies and sex.
Why Intercourse Doesn’t Feel Good for Many Women - with Anne | Ep.189
Q: What was the turning point that made you feel safe to share openly?
Realizing that the podcast and the course provided language and validation for what I'd felt for years, and that my partner was willing to listen and grow. That safety unlocked the ability to speak honestly and work through difficult topics together.
