Overwhelm. Pressure. Tension in your body and to-do lists in your head. Not the recipe for receptivity, mutual pleasure, and oneness.

So many women are living in a constant state of doing—managing families, navigating stress, and holding everything together. But when there's no space for play, our nervous systems stay locked in survival mode. And when our bodies are braced and burdened, intimacy feels more like a demand than a delight.

In this episode, Francie explores the surprising power of play as a key to unlocking feminine integration. Playfulness is one way to reclaim our God-given design for creativity, movement, laughter, and lightness.

You'll hear how play resets the nervous system, reawakens your sensuality, and gently loosens the grip of stress, making space for joy, beauty, and deeper connection.

"We weren't made to be efficient machines. We were made to dance, to laugh, to move with grace—and that freedom is part of God's design for intimacy." – Francie Winslow

In This Episode:

• Why play isn't frivolous—it's foundational for emotional and sexual connection

• How stress and shutdown impact your body's capacity for arousal and openness

• Scientific studies on how dance increases female desire, satisfaction, and confidence—even post-menopause

• Practical ways Francie and Wyatt build play into their connection as husband and wife

• Gentle, creative ways to reawaken your feminine body and spirit through nonlinear movement

Whether we realize it or not, every one of us has a "sex view," a lens through which we understand and experience our sexuality. It's shaped by what we were told (or not told), by pain, silence, shame, weariness, and the culture around us. But what if that view isn't the full story? What if God has something better?

In Part 2 of this series, Francie gently but powerfully unpacks five common sex views that shape our beliefs and behaviors, and how to trade them in for a vision rooted in truth, beauty, and God's original design.

You'll hear:

The 5 most common lenses women carry into marriage

How wounds, weariness, and whispers from the past still affect your present

What it means to see your body and sexuality through the works of God

Why knowing your design is part of your healing

A fresh invitation to live integrated, connected, and whole

This episode is for every woman who has ever felt confused, shut down, or disqualified when it comes to sex, and longs to see with new eyes.
