Have you ever wondered why you keep repeating the same patterns in your dating life? Do you find yourself pulling away when things get close, hiding parts of yourself, or confusing sexual attraction for true intimacy? What if old trauma or hidden shame is quietly running the show without you even realizing it? In Episode 413 of The Charisma Quotient, “Healing Trauma, Releasing Shame & Embracing Your Sensuality: Inteview with Veronica Clark,” Kimmy explores some of the deepest—and most common—blocks people face on their journey to love and connection.
In this episode, Kimmy sits down with celebrated intimacy coach and somatic healing expert Veronica Clark. Together, they shed light on how past experiences of trauma, sexual shame, and people-pleasing behaviors can create invisible barriers, shaping the way you show up in dating and relationships.
Kimmy shares powerful stories from her own coaching practice, including clients who unconsciously sabotage connections, avoid vulnerability, or chase unavailable partners out of old, unhealed wounds. Veronica shares her remarkable personal journey, moving from trauma and self-judgment to becoming an advocate for embodied sensuality, authentic connection, and sexual healing.

The difference between real sexual chemistry and seeking validation or a “fix” from others.
