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.05 | Relationship Reckoning Part 2; The Path from Self-Abandonment to True Love
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
In this episode, Aaron and Greer weave together the threads of awakening, truth, and relationship; through the telling of Greer’s personal story.
This is a conversation for anyone standing at a threshold…
the ones quietly asking: Is this it?
Not because there’s no love.
Because something deeper is trying to be born.
Greer shares the initiations that shaped her; from an early relationship that blurred safety and intensity, to the slow recognition of self-abandonment, to the spiritual awakening that arrived through her father’s diagnosis and death… and the moment she saw two timelines for her life.
Key takeaways:
- Reckoning isn’t a crisis; it’s an initiation. Something essential is trying to mature in you.
- Self-abandonment can look like loyalty. Especially when you’re kind, devoted, and conflict-avoidant.
- Truth has a somatic signature. Your body knows long before your mind is ready.
- Awakening is not performance. It’s becoming more real; less shiny.
- Leaving doesn’t have to be violent. There is a way to do it with love, responsibility, and grace.
- True love isn’t fragile. It can evolve; it can change form; it can remain.
This episode is a transmission for anyone in a “reckoning” season; where truth begins to matter more than appearances, and love begins to ask for more honesty than we’ve ever been trained to give.
