Vanessa Morin, welcome to the show.
Thank you so much for having me. I'm so excited to be here.
Well, me too. We cover a lot of dark stuff on this show, so I wanted to lighten it up a little bit, and I thought you'd be a perfect guest, and so here we go. It's going to be all about sex therapy.
Yeah.
Yeah. And I just want to say I really appreciate you being willing to open up this conversation. It's a tough one for so many people. And, you know, what I can say, having been in this field for over 20 years and talking to hundreds of thousands of people, I think so many of us are desperate people. for more from our relationships. We want more connection, more closeness, more intimacy. And so many of us are wondering, like, what happened to that couple who is madly in love, who couldn't keep their hands off of each other? Like, what have we become now? And so I've really made it my mission to try to bridge that gap in relationships, to try to help save relationships. So the good news is there are a lot of really practical things that we can do to recreate that intimacy.
So my goal is that by the end of this episode, your audience is going to feel inspired, they're going to feel motivated, and they're going to have a couple of practical tools that they're excited to start putting to use right away.
Man, I love to hear that. It's just nice to have a lighter subject to talk about. Do you know who Dr. Reena Malik is?
Yeah, I do.
Yeah, we just had her on.
Oh, she's great.
It's just like the forbidden topic that you just don't talk about in public. And I thought that was an amazing conversation. We haven't even released it yet. And we've been trying to get you on here for at least a couple months, I know.
Yeah.
So yeah, thank you for coming. But everybody starts off with an introduction here. So Vanessa Marin, a licensed psychotherapist with over 20 years of clinical experience in sex therapy helping countless couples improve intimacy. A Brown University graduate with dual bachelor's degree in human sexuality and sociology. A master's degree in counseling psychology, co-founder of Vanessa and Xander Alongside Your Husband, where you built a library of online courses and tools that real couples use to reclaim their spark. A best-selling author of the book, Sex Talks, Five Conversations That Will Transform Your Love Life. And you've also turned this book into a card deck of prompts to deepen connection and spark intimacy.
So...
We might have to open some of them.
Right on.
Let's do it.
Let's do it. But so before we get too far into the interview, everybody gets a gift.
Oh, I'm so excited.
Vigilance League gummy bears, legal in all 50 states. It's just candy.
I'm very excited about these. I listened to your episode with Gabrielle. Oh, cool.
You know Gabrielle, too?
I do, yeah. She's a new friend of mine, and she didn't get hers. And I was like, I really hope I get my gummy bears. Good.
And then we'll send you an extra one back for her. And then I have a Patreon account. We've turned it into one hell of a community. And they've been with us since the beginning. This is the reason I get to be here with you today. And so one of the things we do is we offer them the opportunity to ask every guest a question. This is from Terry Lockitsky. I was in a 14-year abusive marriage and am returning to single life. How do you suggest setting boundaries in today's dating world, reclaiming sexual health, and what are your recommendations for meeting someone new?
Well, first of all, I just want to say I'm really excited for this person to get back out there and to be in a healthier relationship. Obviously, there's a lot of grief and sadness of having to process that and move on, but I'm super excited for them to find somebody new and find something better. So I think a great starting point would be to take some time to reflect on what you learned about yourself in that past relationship and in particular what you learned about your sexuality. We can always take all of our experiences and figure out what are things that I want to replicate in the future and what are things that I do not want again in the future.
