Can We Talk 360 Podcast

We had an excellent podcast interview recently with my guest Dr. Thelma Carter Tennie LMFT, Certified Clinical Sexologist, and owner of the successful private practice, Dr. Thelma Tennie & Associates. Our discussion revolved around the subject of modern love. I discuss with her what unique issues couples are facing in the 21st Century and how Dr. Tennie counsels individuals on dealing with these types of challenges. Dr. Tennie also walks us through how one of the most important factors in a healthy relationship is honesty, not only with your partner, but to be honest about being your true authentic self.
