Soulful Connections in Sobriety: Erin Rasmussen's Journey on Monday State of Mind

I think you hit the nail right, cause there are those two types, maybe more, maybe I'm kind of missing the boat on some more different types, but there are those two types right: emotional intimacy and physical or sexual intimacy.
Ever wondered how intimacy plays a role in recovery? In this episode of 'Monday State of Mind,' host Michael Arnold sits down with Erin Rasmussen, the Executive Director and owner of Zen Mountain Sober Living, to explore this very topic. Erin opens up about her personal experiences with intimacy and how her journey towards self-love and emotional connection has transformed her life.

Erin shares how she learned to love herself first, a crucial step before forming meaningful relationships with others. She talks about the importance of emotional intimacy, trust, and vulnerability. According to Erin, intimacy goes beyond physical or sexual connections—it's about being intentional with who you allow into your life and forming genuine bonds regardless of gender, sexuality, race, or religion.
