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!
