By now you probably have heard of the role of an intimacy coordinator through the announcement that Netflix's Bridgerton worked with one to choreograph many of the sex scenes involve in the show.  While we all think that such a job is super steamy, the real purpose of the intimacy coordinator is to provide a context of safety so that actors and actresses can feel safe enough to be vulnerable.  Really great sex and intimacy comes from a place of safety.  Enter professionals like Siobhan Richardson who are on the path to making creative workplaces not only safe but joyful.

In this episode, Siobhan talks about the creative process and the role of the intimacy professional in the theatre and television/film industry.  She touches upon issues that pertain to consent, why the profession has grown since 2016, and how our view of healing trauma needs to be re-adjusted so that the work our entertainers provide to the world is more of a healing for others rather than a way to heal the self.
