Episode 52: S*x, TikTok, Travel, & All Things [featuring Jessica Cline]

Sex is one of those subjects that many people are afraid to openly discuss in public, let alone on TikTok for anyone to see, but some sexologists are stepping into this territory, making history, and going viral.

In this episode, I talk with Jessica Cline, a board-certified sexologist, travel therapist, and "sexpert" influencer on TikTok, about embodying openness on the level of "the things I talk about with my friends, I put out there." She shares her story and philosophy on social media and talking about sex, and how that has allowed others to open up conversations and get support on topics that many people are afraid to bring up. She also shares how this openness has led to a booming career with many opportunities to work with major brands, projects, and celebrities.

More about Jessica (phased by her in the most perfect way):

I'm a double board-certified sexologist—yes, that's a real job and a degree. 😛 

I'm certain I am on a watch list due to my google searches. 😳

I'm known as the sexpert to the stars- A) because I'm a celebrity sex therapist, and B) I'm a Jungian depth psychoanalyst and I integrate astrology into my sessions. ✨

Last year, I was approached by a producer for Bravo, and we recorded an intro for a celebrity sex therapy show~ it has not been picked up. 😒

I'm the resident sexologist for a male health app.

I've been featured in Bravo, Insider, Bustle, Cosmo, MindBodyGreen, Romper.......and more.

I live in Wisconsin....brrr☃️ but I'm testing out the digital nomad life for the next year. I've been a traveling therapist for about five years and have had many amazing experiences while also working.

I have a 19-year-old daughter who I dropped off to college in September, and I'm figuring out who I am as an empty nester. I'm fairly certain Gilmore Girls was secretly based on our life.

I was married, but it essentially ended on the honeymoon and now I'm travel dating. 🥴 

Creatively I play the harp 🎶 and I paint abstract paintings—one of which was on CNBC this past year.

Resilient Mind Counseling

It's Patrick. Some of you may know that I own a group therapy practice in North Carolina, Resilient Mind Counseling. We specialize in supporting the Neurodivergent, LGBTQIA+, and Black, Brown, and Asian communities online and across North Carolina. We also have limited in-person openings at our offices in Asheville and Cary. We really love working with clients who are coming to terms with both Autism and ADHD discoveries later in life or questioning, as well as the intersections of race, gender, identity, and orientation. All of our therapists have lived experience and identify as AuDHD, Autistic, or ADHD. Our team of affirming therapists offers a safe, anti-racist, anti-oppressive, inclusive, and accessible space where you can show up exactly as you are—no masking, no judgment, and no need to make eye contact, just real connection and healing. We accept most commercial insurances like Blue Cross Blue Shield, United, Aetna, and Med Cost, as well as self-pay options. We currently have openings for new clients. Visit our website at resilientmindcounseling.com. You can also text or call our HIPAA-compliant phone line at (828) 515-1246, or email us at scheduling@resilientmindcounseling.com.
