About this listen

This is another first for the podcast! This week, Emma is out at a conference so Alivia has taken over the podcast to share all about navigating connection during travel! When your partner travels, connection doesn’t disappear, but it does change.

In this episode, Dr. Alivia shares four key strategies to help couples maintain intimacy and trust while apart. From staying present in your own environment to creating intentional communication plans, this conversation offers a grounded alternative to over-texting, overthinking, or pulling away.

You’ll learn how to:

  • Stay present where you are instead of becoming preoccupied

  • Create clear, mutually agreed-upon communication rhythms

  • Use positive sentiment override to build trust

  • Hold expectations loosely to reduce pressure and stress
