Listen "Shan Boodram"
Episode Synopsis
Sexologist, intimacy expert, and best-selling author Shan Boodram joins Anita Sharma for an honest conversation about sex education, building a career in an unconventional field, and why intimacy is about so much more than sex.Shan opens up about growing up in a conservative Caribbean household, writing her first book "Laid" at 24, moving to LA with nothing but $5,000 and a dream, and why a failed BET pilot pushed her to YouTube. We discuss the most common questions she gets about sex (mismatched libido tops the list), why she stopped reading comments after having kids, outdated sex myths that need to die, and how her content has evolved from "where is the clitoris" to exploring friendship and family love.She also shares why she'd never abandon YouTube despite it no longer being her main platform, the emotional toll of sharing vulnerable relationship moments online, and her new passion for drumming.This episode is for anyone navigating intimacy, relationships, or building a career in a space where you have to educate while you create.Follow Shan: @shanboody on TikTok and @shanboodram on InstagramDisclaimer: I'm a lawyer, but this podcast isn't legal advice.
