Ep #40 - Shame: everyone knows what it is because shame is a universal emotion. So how do you become shame-free?
Although not Latina herself, guest Rena Martine shares her expertise in addressing shame, which is deeply rooted in Latine culture. Rena is a former DA who now works as an evidence-based intimacy coach, helping women love their bodies, experience deep intimacy, and have great sex, shame-free.
Rena also emphasizes the importance of understanding our family's input based on what we know now, without resorting to blaming or hating our parents because of the difference in our cultural lenses. Because shame is instilled from an early age, not just from the messages perpetuated within family, but also through religion, personal experiences, and all the media we consume.
*TRIGGER WARNING*
The interview delves into sensitive topics such as PCOS, pregnancy termination, and our individual sterilization choices. We talked candidly about these topics, and encourage you to approach this with an open mind.

Key takeaways for this episode include:
- why shame exists and how it might show up in your relationships
- the vocabulary around shame, such as "shoulds"
- what becoming "shame-free" can mean for you specifically
- why rest is an important aspect of all of this

Are You A Charlotte?
In 1997, actress Kristin Davis’ life was forever changed when she took on the role of Charlotte York in Sex and the City. As we watched Carrie, Samantha, Miranda and Charlotte navigate relationships in NYC, the show helped push once unacceptable conversation topics out of the shadows and altered the narrative around women and sex. We all saw ourselves in them as they searched for fulfillment in life, sex and friendships. Now, Kristin Davis wants to connect with you, the fans, and share untold stories and all the behind the scenes. Together, with Kristin and special guests, what will begin with Sex and the City will evolve into talks about themes that are still so relevant today. "Are you a Charlotte?" is much more than just rewatching this beloved show, it brings the past and the present together as we talk with heart, humor and of course some optimism.
