EP373 - Navigating Self-love and Communication for Intimacy Enhancement

Welcome to episode 373 of Sexology Podcast! Today I am delighted to be speaking with Rena Martine. In today's episode, Rena discusses her personal journey that led her from a conventional career as a Deputy District Attorney specializing in hard crimes to her current path as an intimacy coach and sexual wellness advocate. She discusses the importance of self-compassion, body adoration, media awareness, and perspective in cultivating a healthier self-image and deeper intimacy in sexual relationships.  Rena Martine, a native Los Angeleno, now resides in Echo Park, near her partner. Passionate about smelly cheese, dramatic cinema, and 60’s music, she enjoys dancing and spending time with her Siamese cat, Lucha ("Chooch"). Rena often connects with loved ones, radiating happiness and occasionally enjoying a cocktail.   Holding a Juris Doctor from Loyola Law School and a Bachelor of Arts in Sociology from California State University Los Angeles, Rena excelled as a law review editor and author. She also earned a certificate in Positive Psychology from the University of Pennsylvania. As a Certified Life Coach with Lumia Coaching and a Master Coach recognized by High Impact Coaching, she is committed to her career, continually enhancing her knowledge and skills through ongoing research and client interactions.   In this episode you will hear:  Rena Martine's Journey into Sex Coaching The Gap in Sexual Self-Help Books Unveiling Rena's New Book The Impact of Self-Image on Sexuality How to Have Sensitive Conversations Transitioning from Prosecution to Pleasure Advocacy The CAMP Method for Body Love The Influence of Media on Body Image  Iroha Sponsor https://collabs.shopify.com/collab/2225176 101 Ways To Spice Up Your Relationship https://sexologypodcast.com/subscribe    Instagram https://www.instagram.com/sexologypodcast  Podcast Produced by Pete Bailey - http://petebailey.net/audioAdvertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brandsPrivacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy
