Thu Jan 22 2026
What's in it for him when it comes to relationship work?
In this episode of the Find Your Feminine Fire Podcast, Amanda is joined by her husband, Dr. Mark Testa, for an honest conversation about why many men feel hesitant, resistant, or uninterested in "working on the relationship", and why it may be one of the most impactful choices they can make.
Together, they explore:
Why relationship work often feels like "her thing"
How avoidance and distraction quietly erode intimacy
What men actually gain from intentional connection
Why your relationship affects emotional environment you live in every day
How simple, practical practices can restore closeness and ease
This episode reframes intimacy as leadership, self-respect, and creating a life that feels good to live inside.
Whether your relationship feels solid, strained, or somewhere in between, this conversation offers a grounded, no nonsense perspective on connection, partnership, and being on the same team again.
🎧 Listen in and discover why tending your relationship benefits everything else in your life.
