Getting What You Want w/ Jocelyn Silva | Szn. 4 Ep. 17

What happens when a relationship feels safe… but no longer feels alive? In this episode, Dr. Jenn Kennedy sits down with sexual empowerment coach Jocelyn Silva for a conversation about shame, desire, authenticity, and what it really takes to create intimacy that feels both secure and deeply turned on. Together, they unpack: ​How purity culture and religious shame shape adult sexuality ​Why so many couples have sex but never actually talk about sex ​The hidden ways shame shows up in relationships and the bedroom ​Why performance anxiety disconnects us from pleasure ​The tension between attachment and authenticity ​ How to communicate desires without fear or self-abandonment ​What it means to feel “at home” in your body ​Why pleasure is about more than sex—it’s about creating a life that excites you Jocelyn also shares her personal journey from religious shame and sexual repression to healing , self-trust, and helping others reclaim their erotic selves through curiosity, communication, and embodiment. This episode is for anyone who wants more than just safety in their relationship. It’s for people craving aliveness, playfulness, connection, and permission to want what they want. Because intimacy isn’t just about sex. It’s about feeling fully expressed in your own life. ✨ Plus: Jocelyn shares details about her new course, Speak Your Desires: A Woman’s Guide to Knowing What She Wants and Asking For It.
