Thea grew up in a traditional family where she was taught nothing about sex/intimacy/relating to others formally. She learned what she saw, did what she was told, and followed the path that she was promised would produce success... but when that path left her a newly divorced, stay-at-home mom of two kids in her late 20s, she decided it was time to try something different.  On her quest to learn who she was outside of the role of "mom", she learned to love and listen to herself again. This gave her the power she needed to completely redefine herself, her career, and her sexuality.  Now, Thea takes her clients through the same process of rediscovery. In this episode Thea and I explore some of the most effective approaches to rediscovering yourself and crafting intimacy in your life - both in and out of the bedroom.  Join Thea and me as we discuss:  the lightbulb moment that began her journey of self-discovery the importance of having a community during a period of transformation how to honor (and not feel guilty about) the things you love common intimacy challenges couples face what to do when it feels like you're losing yourself in a relationship why putting yourself first is vital to sustaining your other relationships what "winning" in a relationship looks like   About Thea: Thea Jansky holds her Masters of Arts Degree in Integrative Health & Healing and was trained as a Sex & Relationship Coach out in Berkeley, CA. she is Certified in Codependency Recovery and trained in Conflict Management, Resolution, Mediation, Dialectical Behavior Therapy and Complex Trauma & the Nervous System.
