She is the founder of Girls Who Say Fuck, an incubator for ideas that instigate change, including the wildly popular campaign to rebrand virginity to sexual debut. Recently, Nicolle launched a series of workshops and online gatherings to teach women the basics of BDSM power dynamics. She is the founder of Men Who Take Baths -- a men's mental health movement that's transforming the culture of masculinity from the bath. She studied broadcast journalism and communications at the British Columbia Institute of Technology and was an on-air talent and producer at CTV Vancouver until 2018. During her tenure at CTV, she reported from Lesbos, Greece, where she started an art camp for kids at the peak of the refugee crisis. When Nicolle left her career in television, she began telling stories from the frontlines of cannabis legalization in Canada as the culture editor of Herb—the largest cannabis publication in North America. She continues to work on the vanguard of drug policy and culture as an independent journalist for Double Blind and an on-camera host for The Dales Report, where she interviews the top CEOs of emerging psychedelics companies. In fall 2021, Nicolle begins her BA in Psychology at York University.

To follow Nicolle’s adventures, and read the stories that come of it, find her on Twitter, Instagram, and LinkedIn.Sexual Debut and Men Who Take Baths:Sexual Debut is a campaign to reframe the word "virginity" so young women don't begin their sexual journey at a deficit, feeling like they have lost or given something up. Your sexual debut can happen many times, in many ways, and at any age -- it doesn't have to be your first time doing something, but it is a pinnacle moment that you felt most like you in relation to your sexuality. That's a cause for celebration -- and there should be cake!

Episode OverviewWe get help from a lot of experts when there’s a problem or a challenge in our lives- chiropractors for the back, therapists for our emotions, accountants for our finances- but what do you do when your particular concern is sexuality- a topic that is still shrouded in taboo? If you can’t experience arousal, or orgasm, or don’t know how your body (or your lover’s body)  works,  would you be willing to get some coaching? Would you hire a sexual healer? And, what is a sexual healer anyway? My guest today is Adam Hunter Bauer, who’s been committed to healing through many modalities, including sacred sexuality for almost forty years.  Now, there are a lot of flavors of people who do sexuality coaching, sexual surrogacy, or sex therapy out there- and we are about to learn some of the differences. In this episode, he opens up about the tender task of helping women and couples feel and connect in this vital realm. Sexuality is a vital part of life for all but the few truly by-design asexual people.  For most of us, it’s an area of connection, joy and pleasure that we can tap into our whole lives long.A sexual healer might help you connect with your body, connect with your breath, unwind old stories,  heal trauma in the body, explore new ways of touching and being present, and see what opens up for you. And, possibly, no matter what our mothers might think, we might reach out to someone who’s devoted a part of their lives to gaining knowledge to help us out here- dakas, dakinis, sex therapists, sex surrogates or sexual healers.We cover:Marketing Body ShameHealthy Sexual ConversationsTransformational BodyworkWhat a sexual healing session might look likeIdentifying a healer with clean energyCultivating discernmentSeeking sexual help while in a relationshipHelpful Links:Adam's websiteAdam on Instagram Sexual Healing and Communication Schools:Source School of TantraMargot Anand and Skydancing TantraISTAHuman Awareness InstituteSexological BodyworkBaron Baptiste Yoga Hosted on Acast.
