I designed this specifically for couples who don’t have extra time but want to feel close again. 

Each day of the IBC takes about 10–20 minutes total to complete (unless you want to go extra mile and do more work – that’s up to you but not required).  

These specific assignments are designed to fit into real life and be doable for most people who genuinely want to improve their relationship. Some of my clients have reported doing these tasks between meetings, after the kids go to bed, or even on a walk.  

If you can find a few minutes a day to scroll your phone, you can do this challenge.  

One of the things couple have also reported to me is that even if they couldn’t complete the task within the 24 hours, they started thinking about their relationship and partner differently – which made them do the task at a later time on their own terms.  

Q: I like the idea and I would like us to have more moments for us, but I’m not sure my partner will want to do a “challenge.” What then?

A: I am glad you asked, because this is more common than you might think.

Some people are just not open to doing any type of relationship work. Some hear “relationship work” and assume it means blame, pressure, perfect performance or being put on the spot. And others have stigma built around it and don’t want to risk any exposure of being raw and vulnerable.

Whatever your partner’s reason for not participating is, you can still do your part and see what happens. Your partner doesn't even have to know you're doing it — but most likely they'll feel something shift in you or the energy between the two of you. And that's kind of the magic IBC creates.

When one person changes the energy and intention, it is very unlikely that the other person doesn't feel it.

I always recommend that both of you participate, because IBC challenge is different from most relationship offers on the market:

• It’s completely private – you decide whether you want to share it with others or not. If you prefer to keep it private – it should stay private. (Just a side note: This turns into a completely different story when it starts producing results – most of my clients can’t wait to share with their friends their wins).
• No one is singled out as the problem. The problem is intimacy – not the two of you. You are just working on improving it.
• Each person works at their own pace and it’s ok to skip or modify something that doesn’t feel right.
• The prompts are simple enough, proven to work, non-therapist-y – they’re about connection, fun and curiosity.
• Every try is a win and no one should keep the score. There is some magic in surprises and anticipation.

Whether you do it alone or with your partner, know that the goal is the same: to bring more joy, intimacy, and connection into your relationship.

RRI and IBC are quite different and complement each other. If your relationship is missing fun, sparks, spontaneity, or overall intimacy, IBC is perfect for that. It is designed to reignite connection, rebuild trust, renew desire and make your relationship more fulfilling and better overall.

If you feel heard, seen and acknowledged in your relationship and intimacy is alright, then you might not need it. However, IBC could be fun and deepen connection even for couples who are actually fine and have a solid relationship.  

Relationship Reset Intensive Diagnostic (RRI) is for you if you need a personalized assessment of your relationship dynamic and step-by-step strategy to bring your relationship on the right path, especially if you've been struggling for a while and tried many strategies with no results. 

Vera doesn't offer RRI often, so please contact us if interested: info@veravelini.com.

Great question — and a fair one. Many of my clients are actually using AI to assist with their life tasks. AI could probably be very useful for general information. However, it has lots of limitations. What it can't replicate is 16+ years of sitting across from real couples, watching what actually works and what backfires every single time.

Every single prompt in IBC was chosen because it worked — repeatedly, with real people, in real relationships/marriages. While many internet resources can give you amazing ideas, it doesn’t tell you most of the time how to do it successfully - IBC gives you the 7 easy and fun assignments that actually move the needle. There's a difference between having information and having the right information at the right moment.

If you sign up for Relationship Reset Intensive Diagnostic and Intimacy Boost Challenge, you also have personal access to Vera for any questions or concerns you might have and an opportunity to schedule a 1-on-1 coaching sessions with her. 

If you take action every day for the next 7 days, following the instructions in the email and you don’t believe it is useful to you or to your relationship, reach out to us at support@veliniacademy.com and we’ll be happy to assist you in one of the following ways: we will either assist you in executing the action steps in a way that will work for you or we’ll give you a full refund. 

Our mission at Velini Academy® is to ignite more love in the world through one person at the time, and if we haven't accomplished that with you, we would love to hear from you.

Q: Our sex life has been off for a while. Is this challenge mostly about sex?

A: This challenge is about intimacy in the broadest sense: emotional and physical but focused on building the connection again which eventually leads to more physical intimacy.

Some prompts may invite sensual connection, but there is zero pressure to be sexual at any point. No assignment is asking you to be sexual with your partner.

The focus is on:

• Feeling emotionally closer and safer with each other
• Rebuilding trust, curiosity, and playfulness
• Creating conditions where any future sex feels more connected, not obligatory. We leave this choice up to you. 

The opposite, actually. IBC is light, playful, and takes just a few minutes a day to complete. Treat it like homework that doesn't feel like homework. It's 7 easy daily prompts delivered to your inbox designed to spark warmth, closeness, and fun — that's it. 

And if doing it daily for 7 days feels a lot at the moment, you can just go at your own pace. One action step in the right direction is always better than no action at all. 

Q: How do we access the challenge materials once we join?

A: Right after you sign up, you’ll receive:

• A welcome email with all the details about the challenge.
• Your daily secret assignments will be delivered straight to your inbox each morning for the next 7 days after you sign up.
• Emails will have IBC in subject line to make sure you don’t miss it.
• The bonuses will be delivered per curriculum at the right time during or after the challenge. 

If you sign up and do not receive email from us, check your spam first. If you are still missing it, please email us at support@veliniacademy.com . 

While I don’t know your exact reasons why you haven't followed through with other courses, most people I know stop because things start to feel too big and they either don’t believe they’ll do it right or believe they’ll fail anyway.  

 While IBC is designed to be a win-win for everyone it can feel it is too much to do, too much to think about, too much on top of everything else life already demands even it requires only 10-20 minutes per day.  

But if you really want to feel loved, acknowledged, or seen in your relationship and you only have 20 minutes per day to commit to, IBC is perfect for you.  

And the best part… Even if you only do one or two of the secret assignments out of 7, it can still make a difference.  

Doing nothing about your relationship doesn’t create change. One step in the right direction DOES.
