Episode 17: Jenn Pinkerton - (Part 1) the Connection Expert

Liss’N Kristi

We're joined in this two-part episode by psychotherapist, sexologist, writer and speaker Jenn Pinkerton. She coaches individuals, couples and families in connection, vulnerability, growth, mental health and self-awareness.
Through her REDHEADREVEAL® Podcast, Jenn sparks conversations with thought leaders about relationships, intimacy and sex. A trauma-informed healer, Jenn offers relationship coaching for all people, and online workshops and speaking events to encourage her message with others.
We talk about love, friendship, and the power of self-awareness. We also examine the impact of social media and modern dating on relationships, and how the stigma that was once a barrier to seeking mental help is slowly fading.
It's Part One of a discussion about embracing authenticity, establishing healthy connections, and the power of living in alignment with our core values.
