I am happiest sitting on a stage, with a mic in my hand, interviewing someone with a great story to tell. Somehow, I’ve managed to turn this love for the stage and a story into a career, hosting live events, podcasts, book launches, panel conversations and more. How I wish I could tell my teachers at school who were forever trying to get me to “please STOP talking” that there is money to be made and joy to be found in never shutting ones mouth.

For a bit of context, I formerly worked as a producer for the BBC and Sky News here in London, and for Tina Brown’s ‘Women in The World Summit’ in New York. After returning to the UK in 2018 I set about establishing my own media platforms, starting with a political newsletter called The Venn, followed by the female-focused creative agency, Her Hustle.

But then the pandemic hit and the best laid plans went awry. After raising pre-seed funding for the latter company and hosting our biggest event to-date, the world shut down. But there was a silver lining. During this time I started going to sex therapy, a process I found transformative for the way it changed how I saw my body, my connection to intimacy, my understanding of relationships. Why don’t we have better conversations around sex more broadly, I wondered? I resolved to change that and in 2021 I set up Sex Talks, a live event series and podcast dedicated to fostering honest conversations around pleasure, intimacy and emotional well-being.

It’s been a sell-out series since launch, showcasing just how very needed these conversations truly are. It’s also won me a Sexual Freedom Award, and led me to writing my first book Pleasure, which will be out in early 2026.

I’ve now interviewed politicians, celebrities, thought-leaders, writers, authors, therapists alike and can confirm: everyone has a great story to tell. It’s just about finding the right questions to get it out of them. And that is my the craft I will be honing for life.
