NTM 489: Beyond the Bedroom – How to Transform Transactional Touch into Genuine Connection

Nourishing the Mother

Does every touch feel like it has a hidden agenda? When physical affection only leads to one destination, it can start to feel more like a transaction than a true connection. Over time, this can create distance and make intimacy feel forced, even hollow. In this episode, we explore how to transform transactional touch into genuine connection, bringing back the warmth, playfulness, and emotional closeness that so many couples crave. If you’re ready to make touch feel meaningful again, without pressure or expectation, this episode will show you how to reconnect with your partner through small, intentional moments that deepen your bond.
