Reignite Connection & Fun With Play Dates for Couples

Welcome to Play Dates for Couples. This is the podcast that helps you create the connection you want in your relationship through play ... even if you're busy.

If you're like a lot of couples in long-term relationships, life kind of took over somewhere along the way and your relationship fell to the bottom of your priorities list. Now you feel more like disconnected roommates than connected romantic partners and you wonder what the hell happened to the connection you had before.

You just want that connection back, but you're too busy and you're either stuck in a rut with the same old, same old because you have no new ideas or you do nothing for date nights or couple of connection time. You wanna feel like you're partners on the same page again, but you're just not sure where to even start or if it's even possible.

I get it. My partner and I have been together for 30 years now and our relationship is based on intentional connection, honest communication and authentic expression. But in the past, there was a time when we separated because of disconnection and conflict. We obviously got back together. And we even had a superhero re-wedding, but that's a story for another time.

So, what led us to get back together? It started with a lot of individual work on the underlying stuff that had created the conflict and then in a deep conversation in the car of all places, we agreed:

1. To always communicate with each other and to do so in a healthy, constructive way.

2. To honor our authentic selves and support each other in becoming the best version of ourselves.

3. And to intentionally create emotional intimacy because it's so easy to get lost in all the stresses of life. You know, jobs, finances, kids and everything else.

You can learn a lot more about that whole process in the first couple of episodes and that's what I help you do now as well.

So, I'm the host, Leanne Chesser, intimacy and relationship coach and creator of Connection for Couples and Play Dates for Couples where I help couples who feel more like roommates than romantic partners get the connection back and talk to each other without feeling so awkward so they can have a connected, intimate partnership again.

In fact, it's my mission to create a ripple effect across the world of connectedness, emotionally intelligent communication and the honoring of everyone's uniqueness. And this starts with ourselves and our key relationships and with shifting the underlying stuff that gets in the way of connection.

So, you'll get new episodes every Monday with simple strategies, real talk behind the scenes and foundational shifts and essentials to help you get that connection back in your relationship.

At times, I may bring on guests to add to the conversation, but mostly it'll be me hanging out with you in the episodes.

You can find the podcast on any podcast app including Apple Podcasts and Spotify, of course.
