You did everything right. You built the career. The family. The life you were supposed to want. From the outside, it works. So why does it feel like something inside you has gone quiet?

In this episode,Dr. Jenn sits down with executive coach Fernanda Bressan to explore what really happens in midlife, when success no longer feels satisfying, when performance replaces presence, and when the spark you once felt starts to dim.

Together, they unpack:

• Why midlife isn’t a breakdown, it’s a reclamation

• How high-achieving women lose touch with desire

• The connection between leadership, authenticity, and libido

• How shame blocks pleasure (in the boardroom and the bedroom)

• Why receiving, surrender, and softening are powerful, not passive

This conversation moves beyond productivity and into aliveness. Because erotic energy isn’t just about sex, it’s about presence, truth, courage, and the willingness to want what you want.

If you’ve ever thought, “Nothing is wrong… but nothing feels alive,” this episode is for you.

✨ If you’ve been living on autopilot — productive but not fully alive — my course will help you soften, receive, and reconnect to what truly turns you on. Step out of burnout and into embodied confidence. Buy Now

We all assume we know why people have sex, pleasure, love, connection. But when you actually ask people, the answers are far more nuanced and, at times, surprising.

Some people have sex to feel close. Others to avoid conflict, boost their ego, satisfy curiosity, reclaim power, or even get revenge. In this episode, Dr. Jenn Kennedy pulls back the covers on the real motivations behind why humans have sex and why understanding your personal “why” can fundamentally change how you experience intimacy.

This conversation isn’t just about sex, it’s about what drives us, shapes our choices, and influences how we connect. When you can name your motivations, you gain more agency, clarity, and pleasure in your relationships.

Listen now and start seeing your desires, and yourself, more clearly.

Are you the one chasing closeness… or the one hiding in the bathroom for “just five more minutes”?

In today’s episode, I break down one of the most common, and most misunderstood relationship dynamics: the pursuer–distancer pattern. Whether it's about sex, money, conflict, or parenting, many couples find themselves stuck in this painful loop of one partner reaching while the other retreats.

I dive into where these patterns come from, how attachment plays a role, why both partners actually want the same things (connection, safety, significance), and how this cycle quietly kills eroticism and intimacy. You’ll learn exactly what each style needs, what helps, and what absolutely doesn’t, and how to shift the pattern without blame.

If you’ve ever felt “rejected,” “pressured,” “suffocated,” or “abandoned,” this episode will help you understand what's really happening underneath the surface… and how to move toward each other differently.

Listen in to turn conflict into clarity, distance into desire, and pursuit into genuine connection. Subscribe now so you are first to know about new episodes. This also helps Dr. Jenn get recommended to others.

You’ll learn how to communicate your needs clearly, stay grounded during conflict, and build the kind of intimacy that feels safe, spacious, and genuinely mutual.Ready to break the cycle and relate from your most secure, empowered self? ⁠

What if healing your relationships isn’t about changing your partner, but reclaiming the parts of yourself you’ve disowned?

Dr. Jenn Kennedy sits down with therapist and author Dené Logan to explore how masculine and feminine energies shape our relationships, what it means to be out of balance, and how to move from wounded dynamics into sovereign love.

They dive into letting go of control, leading with curiosity, and holding love with open hands instead of grasping for certainty. Dené shares how vulnerability softens defensiveness, why “What can I give?” changes everything, and how trusting life (instead of trying to control it) transforms connection.
