What if the biggest thing standing between you and great sex isn't chemistry — it's honesty?
In this episode of Between the Sheets with Dr. Z, Dr. Stephanie Zwonitzer, DNP sits down with Jocelyn Silva, a sexual empowerment and intimacy coach whose work centers on what she calls "relentless authenticity." After surviving the fallout of her own infidelity and rebuilding her life through SLAA (Sex and Love Addicts Anonymous) recovery, Jocelyn has spent over 15 years helping thousands of people release sexual shame, rediscover desire, and build relationships grounded in truth.
What you'll learn in this episode:
Why intimacy cannot exist without authenticity — and how to tell if you're holding back
How growing up in a shame-based household shapes adult sexuality, and how to unlearn it
The real reason couples avoid talking about sex (hint: it's not lack of desire)
Jocelyn's "playground" framework for setting clear boundaries so sex feels safe, not stressful
Why you should be having "state of the union" conversations about your sex life every 6–12 months
How aging, health changes, and life stages (kids, illness, caregiving) constantly reshape intimacy — and why the conversation is never "one and done"
A simple way to give and receive feedback about sex without shame or hurt feelings
This conversation is a masterclass in communication — for anyone who's ever avoided a hard conversation with their partner because it felt easier not to have it.
