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.
