  • 252. From Stuck to Sensual: Unlocking the Female Heart, Mind, and Body
    Feb 9 2026

    It's too common that women feel disconnected from their bodies, unsure how to enjoy pleasure and physical intimacy without shame, anxiety, or confusion.

    This episode is an honest invitation to begin healing that disconnection.

    Francie shares the first of three powerful keys to unlocking the female heart, mind, and body—wisdom formed through years of mentoring women inside her Circle community. These insights are about stepping into wholeness as a woman created for joy, connection, and delight in God's design.

    "Your body isn't the obstacle. It's the place where God's presence wants to dwell and delight." – Francie Winslow

    In This Episode:

    • Why so many women feel "shut down" and how trauma, theology, and nervous system patterns contribute

    • The subtle ways shame shows up in the bedroom—even after years of marriage

    • Daily practices Francie uses to move out of her head and into her body with peace

    • A vision for sensuality that is holy, safe, and spiritually grounded

    • An invitation to rediscover your body as a place of worship and wonder

  • 251. The Sex Talk You Never Got: What Formed Your View of Sex
    Jan 26 2026

    Whether we realize it or not, every one of us has a "sex view," a lens through which we understand and experience our sexuality. It's shaped by what we were told (or not told), by pain, silence, shame, weariness, and the culture around us. But what if that view isn't the full story? What if God has something better?

    In Part 2 of this series, Francie gently but powerfully unpacks five common sex views that shape our beliefs and behaviors, and how to trade them in for a vision rooted in truth, beauty, and God's original design.

    You'll hear:

    The 5 most common lenses women carry into marriage

    How wounds, weariness, and whispers from the past still affect your present

    What it means to see your body and sexuality through the works of God

    Why knowing your design is part of your healing

    A fresh invitation to live integrated, connected, and whole

    This episode is for every woman who has ever felt confused, shut down, or disqualified when it comes to sex, and longs to see with new eyes.

  • 250. The Sex Talk You Never Got: 3 Things Every Woman Should Know
    Jan 19 2026

    Most of us never had a sex talk that honored our design, reflected God's heart, or made space for our questions. In this powerful first episode of a 3-part series, Francie begins to unpack three foundational truths every woman needs to know, but likely never heard.

    This is not a conversation about shame, fear, or performance. It's about reclaiming God's original dream for our bodies, our pleasure, and our wholeness as women made in His image.

    In Part 1, Francie walks us through:

    Why knowing your body is a spiritual practice

    How shame blocks our ability to understand and enjoy our design

    What the Bible reveals about God's intention for sex (and why it's so good)

    How women's bodies were made for pleasure, not just reproduction or duty

    The radical truth that sex is for you, too

    Whether you're married or single, just beginning your journey or decades in, this episode will help you take one step closer to wholeness… body, mind, and spirit.
