Changing the Conversation About Sexuality | Dr. Brianna Booth

Brianna Booth, Ph.D. is the Director of Positive Sexuality at Stanford University. Compelled by a deep belief that we as a society can do better on the challenges of sexuality, Brianna aims to transform the cultural conversation to more fundamentally level-up on both the challenges and possibilities of sexuality. She earned her PhD in Human Sexuality Studies, focusing her research on the lived experience of sexuality and the skills of navigating it well. Brianna is working with students to create a series of programs for undergraduates--Beyond Sex Ed--which take a whole-person, whole-culture approach, centering on student storytelling, the skills for growth and connection, and a recognition of sexuality as an integral part of what it is to be human.

In this episode we explore:

• Why listening is the first and most advanced skill of sexuality
• Brianna’s courageous story of starting a movement to expand how we conceive of, and discuss the topic of sexuality
• The importance of storytelling - how stories foster connection, intimacy, and courage
• Her groundbreaking approach to teaching sexuality at Stanford
• How to develop self-trust
• What positive sexuality is, and why Brianna is so passionate about it
