678. How To Be Intimate - With Christina Dohr

Author: Mark Walsh February 25, 2025 Duration: 56:00

Embodiment coach Christina Dohr joins me to drop some serious wisdom on intimacy, boundaries, and how to make relationships actually work. From aikido to dance and eye gazing, we dive into how these practices show up in our connections. Christina shares her thoughts on platonic intimacy, trauma, and why knowing what you want (and saying no) is key to keeping things healthy.

We cover practical tips for navigating the world of singlehood and long-term relationships, from setting clear boundaries to keeping the spark alive with a bit of play and curiosity. Whether you're a coach or just looking to level up your relationships, this one's packed with actionable insights.
