Long-term relationships change. Add careers, children, exhaustion and the relentless logistics of everyday life, and it can become surprisingly easy for two people who love each other to start feeling more like teammates than partners.
Kim Pearce knows that experience personally. After navigating pregnancy, postpartum and the shifting dynamics of intimacy in her own relationship, a late-night conversation with her partner sparked an idea: what if reconnecting didn’t have to begin with one big, awkward conversation?
That idea became Peak, an app designed to help couples rediscover connection, playfulness and intimacy in a way that feels approachable and low pressure.
Kim joins Erin for an open and refreshingly honest conversation about long-term relationships, motherhood, vulnerability and what it really takes to keep choosing each other as life changes around you. It’s a conversation that makes space for the messy middle, where relationships aren’t broken and everything isn’t effortless, but connection still deserves attention.
In this episode she shares:
