Have you ever felt stuck, ashamed, or just plain confused about your sexual wellness? I am so excited about today’s conversation. I am diving deep with Dr. Jennifer Litner, a brilliant sex therapist and founder of Embrace Sexual Wellness, to talk about how we can unlearn sexual shame, communicate better in relationships, and teach the next generation about healthy sexuality.

I love exploring the how sexual wellness, shame, and communication, all need to work together. Jennifer shares her journey into the world of sex therapy, why she believes naming what we do is so powerful, and how shame around sex can impact us even if we are educated or in committed relationships. We also explore practical strategies for improving communication with your partner, overcoming desire mismatches, and creating a culture of openness in your relationship.

We also discuss how early sex education or the lack of it affects adults, how parents can start conversations with their kids without shame, and why understanding pornography and modern sexual culture is crucial for young people today. Plus, we touch on how sexual identity, including asexuality, is being more openly discussed and accepted in today’s world.

Whether you are a clinician, a parent, or just someone curious about your own sexual wellness, this conversation is packed with insights, practical advice, and validation that yes, you deserve pleasure and connection.

Highlights:

How sexual shame develops and shows up in relationships.
The power of naming what we do and embracing sexual wellness without fear.
Tools and exercises for improving communication and connection in intimate relationships.
Why early, open, and shame free conversations about sex matter for the next generation.
