Joy
Details
Description
Leading a sexual wellness business for five years has made it abundantly obvious to me that people are very uncomfortable with the idea of pleasure. And I don't even mean sexual pleasure! I mean quite literally that we are uncomfortable admitting that we like the things that make us feel good. Sex is simple one avenue to accessing the feelings of aliveness, empowerment, joy, and confidence that are innate to all of us--and that we must prioritize. I'm going to make a case that a little hedonism is healthy. That feeling good is an excellent compass for making choices. And that getting more familiar with joy, once we've experienced it afresh, sets a new standard for which we can aspire.

Dipsea has listeners in every country in the world, and helps millions of people tap into their sexuality and aliveness more easily, and on their terms. Gina studied psychology at Duke University, where she nurtured an insatiable curiosity about why people want and desire what they do. After several years as a brand strategist working with clients like ThirdLove, DoorDash, Google, and Momofuku, Gina founded Dipsea with her friend Faye. She is a Forbes 30 Under 30 honoree, recently appeared on the Netflix documentary The Principles of Pleasure, and is a TED speaker on the topic of sex and imagination.
