🎙️ Podcast Show Notes Introduction

What does it actually feel like to be an intimacy professional right now?

Not the polished version.
The real version.

In this inaugural episode, we’re pulling back the curtain on what it’s like to do this work in an industry that’s still catching up. From being a “department of one” on set to realizing you’re part of something much bigger.

Because here’s the truth:

You can’t build this career alone.
Not well.
Not sustainably.

If you’ve ever felt isolated, overwhelmed, or unsure where you fit in this field, this conversation is going to hit home.
