Looking at our culture, we can see that society is becoming more disconnected. Even though we have technology that connects more people than ever before, there’s still distance. Lack of intimacy is one of the top three reasons why relationships struggle, and often times end. Bringing Intimacy Back, a registered 501(c)(3) non-profit, is dedicated to inspire, enlighten, and encourage intimate connections. Host Dr. April Brown and co-host Kanya Ford provide an engaging atmosphere to discuss ways to enhance intimacy in one’s relationships; including with oneself, partners, families, friends, and Spirit. Research shows that as we increase the quality of our intimate connections, a decrease of conflicts, anxiety, and depression follows. Take the first steps to strengthen your intimate connections with Bringing Intimacy Back. Bringing Intimacy Back airs LIVE every Thursday at 3:30pm EST. Viewer comments and questions are shared during the exciting discussion!

Friday Jan 17, 2020
Courtney Miller is a transformer. At age 32, she was morbidly obese (about 260 pounds), homeless, broke, and a single mom. She was drifting through life without direction and feeling pretty worthless most of the time. She didn't know how to turn that around until she met a wonderful coach that got her started and encouraged her to dream and achieve. Having someone in her corner that held her accountable made a massive difference! In fact, she became a life coach. Courtney has been coaching clients to live a more joyful life since 2013. Her life has changed tremendously. She is very confident, has a healthy life style, owns her own business, travels to beautiful places, enjoys friendships, and owns a home. Most importantly, she has been married for more than 10 years to the love of my life and they have 2 beautiful, healthy and happy kids. She is a Toast Master and has recently participated in the division contest for humorous speeches. She believes that the transformation that she has experienced in her own life is the source of her inspiration to pay it forward to others.
