Welcome to You Are Not Broken, the only podcast that combines science, medicine, and psychology, to re-educate your brain and help you live your best-to-love life.

And I'm your host, Ford Certified Female Urologist, Dr. Casperson.

Thank you. board certified female urologist Dr. Casperson. You guys, I am so excited today to do this podcast with Jen Mason, who is the owner of Winkwink,

which is a sex shop boutique in my town where I live.

And today we're going to talk to her about all things sex and how

she got here and I cannot wait to hear your story. So why don't you just start and tell us kind of how

you got to this point? Yeah. So I opened wink wink in August of 2018. So we are about to,

well I guess we are celebrating currently our two-year

anniversary. And we, I started, my background is working at a domestic violence and rape

crisis center. And so I worked with sexual assault survivors for about a decade and did

community education, primarily working with young

people and talking about consent and what healthy relationships actually look like.

And I left that work, but it was really my passion, you know, is really in helping people

to understand their sexuality and how to have healthy sexual experiences.

But my background is kind of from a trauma focus, a trauma context.

And so after I left there, I had been doing some personal exploration in the field

and really sort of looking more at the positive sides of sex and sexuality and just kind of

popped up with the idea of oh my gosh this town needs a good sex shop we need a place that

we can all be going to where we feel comfortable and staff are educated we can ask a lot

of questions and that's how wink-wink was what came about.

How did we meet?

Do you remember?
