Are You Secretly Blocking True Intimacy Without Even Realising It?
In this lively episode of The Love Machine, James Preece welcomes relationship therapist, writer, and podcaster Brittani Procknow for a straight-talking exploration of true intimacy—why so many couples crave it, what keeps us from finding it, and how even modern dating apps can both spark and squash romantic vibes.
From the fascinating “still face experiment” (yes, it gets a mention!) to practical advice on keeping things flirty and fun, Brittani reveals why intimacy is as much about being seen as it is about seeing—and why being vulnerable can be both exhilarating and nerve-racking. Curious about boundaries, long-distance love, or how your dating profile might actually be keeping your dream partner at arm’s length? James even offers Brittani an on-the-spot dating profile review, packed with tips for anyone swiping for love.
Whether you’re longing to rekindle the connection in an established relationship, or you’re just trying to navigate those early sparks without self-sabotaging, this episode is packed with insights, laughs, and instantly usable advice.
Tune in now—your next ‘aha’ dating moment is just a play button away!
