Summary

What's the Wildest Thing You've Done for Love (or Sex)? Join us as we dive into the unapologetic world of Courtney Kocak, writer, podcaster, and comedian extraordinaire, who's just released her scorching hot memoir, Girl Gone Wild! In this episode, we get the tea on Courtney's journey from selling T-shirts on the infamous Girls Gone Wild tour (for the uninitiated, it was a series of spring break party videos that, ahem, "celebrated" youthful abandon) to becoming a respected voice in the world of sexuality and feminism. Here's what you'll get out of this episode: * The story behind Courtney's transition from party tour T-shirt vendor to writer and podcaster * A sneak peek into her wildly popular podcast, Private Parts Unknown, and one of her most unforgettable "Girl Gone Wild" stories * What it means to be an "unwitting feminist" and how Courtney's experiences have shaped her views on sex and identity * The good, the bad, and the ugly of Courtney's formative years and how they influenced her adult life * Advice for those who've been told they're "too much" or "not enough" when it comes to their sexuality * A cheeky elevator pitch for Girl Gone Wild and how to get your hands on a copy (and maybe even work with Courtney) Courtney's got a knack for storytelling, and her experiences are both relatable and, well, wild. With over two million podcast downloads under her belt and bylines in top-tier publications like The New York Times and Cosmopolitan, she's the perfect guest to dish out the real talk on sex, love, and being unapologetically yourself. Tune in for a conversation that's equal parts laugh-out-loud funny and thought-provoking – and stay tuned until the end for a teaser that's sure to leave you wanting more.

0:00.0	Okay, real talk. I have reached the age where I am done buying things just to buy things.
0:07.0	Same here. If it's not versatile, well made, and actually worth it, it's getting left on the rack,
0:12.8	which is exactly why we're obsessed with quince. Amy, feel this silk cammy that I have on.
0:18.7	It's my absolute favorite.
0:21.8	It's not only chic.
0:24.9	It's machine washable and it was under $50.
0:27.3	I have it in every single color.
0:28.7	Love that top chip.
0:31.5	Quince makes these incredible wardrobe staples.
0:37.3	We are talking 100% European linen, silk and even lightweight cotton cashmere. And the prices make actual sense because
0:40.1	they cut out the middlemen entirely. They work directly with ethical factories so you're not
0:45.5	paying for some fancy retail markup, just really, really good clothes and a bunch of other
0:51.1	amazing things. And the quality, though, the quality rated 4.5 to five stars by thousands of real customers.
0:59.0	Personal endorsement, the cotton cashmere sweater has become my go-to.
1:03.4	Light enough to layer, still feels totally luxury.
1:07.0	And it did not cost what I expected quality cashmere to cost.
1:11.3	You don't need a closet full of options.
1:13.7	You need pieces that actually work.
1:15.8	So right now go to quince.com slash shameless for free shipping and 365 day returns.
1:21.8	That's a full year to wear it and love it.
1:24.2	That's Q-U-I-N-C-E.com slash shameless.
1:28.1	Now available in Canada, too. Don't you know?
