From working in the newsroom, to writing a book and running a company focused on intimacy, I have always focused on probing the topics we’re taught not to discuss.

I do this through storytelling. Why? Because I firmly believe that the stories we tell ourselves, about ourselves, shape how we see the world and our role in it. So if we want to change the world around us, we have to start by writing better stories: about ourselves and our broader culture.

Going to sex therapy changed my life. It transformed how I felt in my body, my relationship to intimacy, and my sense of confidence and self-trust. I realised then that everything starts with connection — with how we connect to ourselves, and how we connect to others.

Now, my mission is to help people shed their shame around whatever taboo topic they feel they can’t talk about — to master self-authorship and to lead a life on their own terms.
