Jenn's work centers around one powerful truth: we are wired for connection, yet so many people are living in profound disconnection from themselves, their relationships, and their deepest desires. I agree! Jenn shares her personal journey through grief, abandonment, and identity after losing her father at a young age. She vulnerably opens up about becoming a \"chameleon\" in her early life, shaping herself to fit the needs of others while losing connection to her authentic self. That wound eventually became the doorway into her life's work: helping people return to who they truly are beneath the coping strategies, fear, shame, and survival patterns. We explore the four core wounds that shape so many relationships, including abandonment, not feeling good enough, not belonging, and not feeling worthy.

Jenn also shares her groundbreaking work helping couples heal after infidelity, revealing that affairs are often less about another person and more about the longing to feel alive, connected, desired, and emotionally seen. We discuss how betrayal can either become the ending of a relationship or the catalyst to build an entirely new one rooted in honesty, vulnerability, emotional safety, and genu…","meta_description":"Step into a raw, delicious and love-affirming conversation with Jenn Pinkerton, psychotherapist, certified sex therapist, relationship expert, and host of…","key_points":[],"chapters":[],"topics":[],"duration_seconds":2907,"processing_state":"not_requested","actions":[{"name":"request_transcript","method":"POST","url":"https://stenobird.com/v1/public/podcasts/intimate-conversations-478585/episodes/what-affairs-really-mean-and-how-to-heal-them-with-jenn-pinkerton/transcription-requests","description":"Idempotently request low-priority transcript generation for this episode."},{"name":"read_markdown","method":"GET","url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/intimate-conversations-478585/what-affairs-really-mean-and-how-to-heal-them-with-jenn-pinkerton.md","description":"Read the agent-friendly Markdown representation of this episode resource."}]}}
