Bio

Nicolle Hodges is a journalist, author, sexual freedom philosopher, and social entrepreneur. In 2017, she founded Men Who Take Baths, a mental health initiative and interview series focused on the evolution of masculinity. In 2020, she founded the Garden of Earthly Delights—a members-only community where she uses BDSM (bondage and discipline, dominance and submission, sadomasochism) to help women overcome sexual shame and step into their unique leadership potential, all while earning badges. As the author of ''Oh, the Places You'll Go Oh Oh!'', a book that celebrates the joys of sexual exploration through Dr. Seussian rhyme and illustration, along with a successful awareness campaign to replace the phrase ''losing your virginity'' with ''sexual debut,'' Hodges has gained recognition as a thought leader and speaker in the realm of sexual wellness. Her forthcoming book, set for publication in 2024, introduces BDSM as a healing modality and meditative practice from a science-based perspective. With extensive experience in media, she formerly held positions as a television host and producer for CTV (Canada's most-watched television network), the culture editor of Herb (“the voice of cannabis culture”), and the leading female host for the investor-based media platform, The Dales Report, where she regularly interviewed the top CEOs of psychedelic and crypto companies. Her work has been featured in notable publications such as the BBC, New York Post, Men's Health, and Double Blind. To learn more, find her on Twitter and Instagram: @NicolleDoubleL
