Hard Beautiful Journey - Vulnerable Conversations about Grief, Trauma, Addictions and Mental Health

I don't know if I can contain my excitement about this episode....I have been lookin' forward to this one being published since the second I hit the stop recording button.....because the topic is SEX and INTIMACY, and let's be really REAL for a minute....both are incredibly important, am I right?! My guest today knows her stuff and I am still sitting here in a cloud of GRATITUDE that she came on my podcast to chat. Dr. Viviana Coles is here...she is President and Lead Psychologist at her private practice in Houston as well as President of the National Sex Institute, and has her Bachelor's Degree in Psychology and Master's and Doctoral Degrees in Marriage and Family Therapy and is a Certified Sex Therapist......so yeah she knows A LOT about Sex and Intimacy and she is here to TEACH US so much goodness. And she gave me permission to call her Dr. Viv so that's what I'm going to call her! Since 2003, Dr. Viviana Coles has exclusively focused on her work with couples and individuals experiencing emotional and physical intimacy issues. She has built a thriving private practice providing relationship therapy, sex therapy, and premarital counselling.
