Overwhelmed Renaissance Woman

In my latest article, for @huffpostuk , I'm unpicking the weird response to Halle Berry's honesty about sex and v@ginal lubrication. Lube is nothing to ashamed of and it's time we leaned in to it as a vital part of a women's s3xual wellbeing toolkit, particularly as we age and in postnatal/motherhood. . My faves are @hanxofficial , @yes_organics @the_wylde_herbalist . . Head to link in @itscliowood bio to read and thanks to @daynamcalpine_ for the commission. .

I love a bit of honesty, but this was more honest than most, weirdly because I think we're so much less open about money than anything else! Or maybe that's just because I write about sex so much... . Anyway, find out how we're coping with a 40% drop in income in my feature for @theipaper will post the link in stories now and pop it in link in bio too. .

Every once in a while, I manage to paint something. Here's my Christmas 2024 creation. What do you think? . Clio x . Do you like to paint or draw?

Mo-Jo Ho Ho! It’s Day 8 of our 12 Days of SheSpot! ❤️ The lovely @andbreathewellbeing Clio Wood, author of’Get Your Mojo Back’, reminds us that although Christmas can sometimes feel overwhelming and stressful, it’s important to say “f**k it!” to some of our Christmas to-do list, and take a moment for ourselves, mentally and sexually! In doing so, we can maximise ple*sure and wellbeing. 🥰😍 Day 9 incoming! 🤩 #12DaysOfSheSpot #AdventCalendar #VirtualAdventCalendar #Christmas #Christmas2024

My and @futurefemhealth work with CensHERship gathers momentum. Our most recently published piece of research was gathered in conjunction with @guardian and reported on there, as well as being featured on @bbcwomanshour . . When we started our campaign we looked at digital suppression on social media platforms, but we heard time and again of femtech and women's health businesses being refused bank accounts, insurance and access to ecommerce and payment platforms. So we decided to look further into it. . It's not trivial because it's yet another part of the business ecosystem that's harder to access for female-led companies. Which means that you don't get access to innovation in women's health, information and tech that could be life-changing or life-saving. It means the gender health gap doesn't close. . Have a read of our article at the link in bio and in my stories tonight. If you've experienced censorship or difficulties accessing financial services, do fill in our surveys too, and spread the word. . We will change the landscape! Clio x 📢📢📢Ps, we're looking for funding and expanding our consulting work right now, so let us know if you want to help or work together. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . #feminism #feministauthor #genderdatagap #genderhealthgap #femtech #fundfemalefounders #feministauthor #campaigner #fundingforwomen #digitalsuppression #equalityonline #femalefounders #ladyboss #startuplife #womeninbusiness #healthtech

Whoop! I did it! Today I spoke about CensHERship's work and the lack of access to financial services for s3x workers and the adult entertainment industry on @bbcwomanshour @bbcradio4 . You might not think this applies to you, but this is an important topic, that only scratches the surface of the hypocrisy and discrimination for women on financial service and online platforms. This is at the heart of CensHERship's work and why we do our work to help close the gender health and data gap. . 🎧 Listen via the link in my bio and stories on @bbcsounds to my chat with @kyliepentelow @cindygallop @jessicavanmeir . ➡️ Sign up to CensHERship's mailing and fill in our surveys on social media censorship and access to financial services at our WEBSITE ❤️ .
