Have you ever wondered what it takes to break free from the suffocating grip of corporate patriarchy and redefine your life's mission? Amber Simon did just that when she transitioned from being a high-ranking HR executive in the conservative financial sector to the fearless CEO of Quivr, a luxury adult sexual wellness brand. Amber's journey is nothing short of inspiring, as she courageously stepped away from an unfulfilling marriage and a toxic work environment to advocate for women's sexual empowerment.

Amber's story is a poignant reminder of the societal neglect surrounding female pleasure and the dire need for comprehensive sexual education. Imagine realizing, after 17 years of marriage, that you have never experienced an orgasm. Amber opens up about this deeply personal epiphany and discusses the widespread misunderstandings about female anatomy—such as the difference between the vulva and the vagina. This part of the episode underscores the critical importance of women understanding their own bodies and advocating for their pleasure, free from shame or judgment.

The challenges don't end there. Amber, a non-technical Black woman, faces formidable obstacles in securing venture capital for her innovative sexual wellness app. With Black women receiving less than 0.27% of venture funds, Amber's fight for equity is a testament to her determination and vision. This episode explores the societal conditioning that discourages women from taking bold steps in entrepreneurship and emphasizes the need to support initiatives that celebrate women's sexual wellness. Join us and be inspired by Amber's mission and learn how you can participate in this transformative journey.
