Awakened Intimacy
Awakened Intimacy is a podcast for anyone awakening to the deeper dimensions of truth and love — where relationships held safety and honesty create depth and growth.
Hosted by Greer & Aaron Christos, therapeutic coaches and founders of Intimacy for Couples, each conversation explores how real relationships become both sanctuary for connection and a catalyst for change — the place where we meet our wounds, dissolve old patterns, and discover intimacy as a path of spiritual awakening.
Through lived stories, psychological insight, and embodied wisdom, we explore themes such as:
• Safety & the nervous system — “No safety, no intimacy.”
• Seeing the mirror in your triggers — learning to meet yourself through what arises between you.
• Love as sanctuary & catalyst — how safety and challenge evolve love into something deeper.
• Polarity & play — Keeping things alive and fresh in long term connection.
• Awakening through conflict — “Every rupture is a doorway to deeper truth.”
These episodes are not just teachings but transmissions — an invitation to slow down, listen, and remember that every contraction and challenge in love is a doorway to expansion.

Ep.03 | Awakening Through the Gifts of Grief
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
In this week’s episode, we invite you into a very current, personal season of our life; one that has not been neatly processed or wrapped in a bow.
Aaron’s grandfather has been admitted to hospital and is not expected to leave; at the same time Greer is sitting in the ten year anniversary of her father’s passing. We speak about how we are each navigating our own grief; while still showing up for our relationship, our parenting, and our work with couples.
We explore grief not just as something to “get through” but as a powerful portal; a threshold that strips away performance and brings us closer to what really matters in love.
In this episode we explore;
How Aaron found the courage to tell his grandfather “I love you” for the first time; and how that opened a moment of healing between three generations of men
Greer’s experience of walking with her dad through terminal illness; and how she chose to drop every veil of performance and meet him soul to soul
The difference between “getting something off your chest” and speaking truth that actually liberates the heart
How to support a partner in grief when their capacity and attention are diminished; without abandoning your own boundaries or truth
Turning a misunderstanding into a home ho’oponopono style repair ritual; in front of our child
Grieving more than death; the loss of friendships, identities and old versions of self as you step onto a more authentic path
Why people may fall out of resonance as you awaken; and how to move through judgement, projection and “karmic backlash” with integrity
The importance of letting each person have their own unique way of grieving; and why we can never say “I know exactly how you feel”
Our intention is that this conversation offers you company if you are in a season of loss; and reminds you that grief, when met with presence and love, can deepen intimacy rather than shut it down.
