Thank you for listening to Business Success, empowering business professionals and entrepreneurs to lead an orgasmic life. Hello and welcome to Business Success with Orgasmic Life, a place where sexual empowerment meets professional development. My name is Lorraine Crook, award-winning speaker, columnist, educator and healer. And this is an over-18 space, empowering business professionals and entrepreneurs to lead the most orgasmic life. Hello, hello and welcome to this edition of Business Success. So today we are going to be doing a bit of a Q&A. I've got a few questions, but to be honest, I quite often get asked around my business and why I do what I do. So I'm going to answer those questions today. And if anyone wants to send in any more questions or has got any inquiries, then I'll be sharing that with you at the end of this little chat. So you can reach out and get in touch if you want. There's a lot of colour going on. It's like, boom, she's here. She's in the room. So yeah, my name is Lorraine Crooks. I'm a sexual empowerment liberator and I empower businesses, whether that's a business professional or an entrepreneur, to lead an orgasmic life. So let's crack on with the first question. So my first question I've been often asked is, what is the link between business and sex? And I have to confess, it's kind of chalk and cheese, really, if you think about it. They're very much two kind of extreme worlds, but they're not. No, they are pretty much part of the same thing. So the link is that we are our business, whether we work in a business, whether we have our own business, we are the business. We are the energy that fuels it. And the link really is about that we are the front of house. And if we can own who we are as a sexual human being, which is a really powerful energy, so it's an amazing, orgasmic, euphoric, blissful energy to be in, that sexual bliss. If we can own who we are as a sexual human being, most powerful energy, then we've got to show up different in our business. We can't not. There's got to be a different level of confidence and awareness in who we are and what we want to show the world. So I believe, actually, they're really closely linked. And I believe that if we can really empower sex, intimacy and pleasure, we can just show up better in business. Now, that doesn't mean to say we're doing a rubbish job to start with, because pretty much most of us are. We're giving it a good go. But what I'm saying is, if we can be really connected to sex, intimacy and pleasure. If we can be really strong in the most vulnerable place. And how different would our business be? That kind of, I don't know, I kind of feel that sex gives us that little bit of, you know, that little bit of sass as you walk in the room. That being aware of who you are in your own skin. Just walking a bit taller. Being more self-confident and self-aware of who we really are as a person. Not to mention being a lot happier because the serotonin and the dopamine and the endorphins and adrenaline have all been, you know, floating around the body doing their magic. Which means we're going to be happier in the workplace. And I think most of us would like to be happier in a place where we often label a lot of stress as being the core of kind of what we do. We get very stressed running a business. It's a huge thing to do, whether we're a business professional or an entrepreneur. It's a huge undertaking. And having a little bit of adrenaline and endorphins and dopamine and serotonin running around our body can't not help. It's got to be out there as a good fuel to light the fire. That's for sure. So that's where I see the link. It's part of the same thing. So why are you so passionate about this for business professionals? I kind of, I guess I've kind of covered some of that. But I also see that it's part of the same skill set, boundaries, consent, relationships. Communication, interactions, risk taking, being vulnerable. But all of that is part of what we have in the bedroom. And what I lovingly then refer to as the boardroom. The bedroom and the boardroom. For me, it's a similar skill set. Now, they definitely show up in a different way. We don't want to be, you know, I'm not advocating sex at work. This is not what I'm about. What I'm advocating is the skills that we use in our relationship, that intimate relationship, sex, intimacy and pleasure, whether that's with ourself or with someone else is very similar skill set. If not the same skill set that we use in our business, which is also an intimate relationship. We have an intimate relationship with us. And we also have a relationship with the people we serve. Whatever that is, whether that's a product or service based business, we still have a relationship. We still need to have boundaries. We still need to be confident in who we are. We still need to have good communication skills, consent, interpersonal skills. All of that stuff we need. And if we can be really strong in it, in sex, intimacy and pleasure, which for me is very much what I believe, you know, that's how it's a vulnerable place to be. You're surrendering yourself in a really intimate way to another human being or to yourself. And it's a very intimate, personal, vulnerable space to be. You are surrendering your mind, your body and your soul. And if we can get that right and we can be really empowered in that place and we're not faking it till we make it, we're not in our head, we're not going through a process on a Wednesday night at 7.30 because that's what we do. You know, if we're really embodying the experience in every single way, life will be so much better. And that feeds into our business. And if we're happy at home, we're happy at work. And if we're happy at work, we still go home smiling. And it all kind of interlinks. It's one of the same thing. It's that white life balance. It's the connection between the two. And they are so interlinked in so many ways. So another question that I get asked as well is how has sex helped me in my business? Well, other than the fact that it is my business in the sense of that's what I work with. Over the years, my background was very much since my... 25-ish, maybe, a little bit before that. But kind of from my 20s, I was very much sexually empowered with my own body. But I'd also started to explore connection to other aspects and other dynamics. So from the age of 25 onwards, I have explored kink, bondage and domination, swinging, sex parties. Like all of that has been part of my life. And that was my way of exploring who I was as a human being, understanding who I was and becoming more confident. And just something I was always interested in, that connection to my own body. Now, I'm not always saying I did it in a very healthy way. And I certainly made my mistakes, which is why consent and boundaries is one of my huge topics and definitely a core one in the programme that I run. But what I did learn was it fuelled me. It lit me up. I loved all the aspects. And it didn't have to be being tied up in a dungeon or anything like that. It was just all of that connection with another person, that exploration, that a place where I could be me. Our business, we're in a role. We show up as our professional self. But in sex, intimacy and pleasure, all of those layers can be stripped away. I don't have to be a mum, a sister, an auntie, a daughter, a business owner. I can just be Lorraine with the person I'm with or with myself. Which means that I'm coming from a really empowered place. And what I realised was as much as my job, which at the time I was a middle leader in a secondary school. So I had this double life. I was a middle leader in a secondary school. And at the same time, having all these alternative sex-based lifestyles. And it became a clash. There was an energy between those two that didn't feel great. And at times it was quite challenging to manage that. And there were times when I felt that my sex life was letting my teaching career down. Well, actually, now I look back, I don't think I would have lasted as long in teaching or shown up in the way I did. And I was good. I was good at my job. I had some of the top grades in the school. I only taught GCSE and A level. I loved what I did. I took my kids volunteering. I was so empowered and so on point with what I was doing, passionate about what I was doing, had a purpose in what I was doing and was good in my performance because that's how I was showing up in the bedroom. Passionate with performance. Note to self, turn your WhatsApp off next time you come by. But I was passionate and had a purpose and performance in both those areas of my life. And they fed each other. You know, and some people say that's wrong. You know, and I'm talking about being a secondary school teacher and kink and BDSM, but I'm not. I'm talking about me and me. I'm talking about a job role and showing up as a sexual human being and societies made that wrong, not me. You know, it was the preconceived ideas of my upbringing and the society that I live in and not my parents, but just the whole bigger picture that made that wrong. They impacted each other in a really healthy way. I didn't take my sex intimacy and pleasure on a physical sense into the classroom on any level. They looked after each other. They were two separate things that support each other. So another question I get asked is, how has sex intimacy and pleasure played out in my life? And how has it helped my business? Well, it is my business. So that's one way it's helped. But I believe that because I've stepped into my sexual power, I've been really channeled in my career. I believe that, you know, I've never not been in work and I've rolled from one career move to another. And I believe that's because I wasn't connected to myself. And as I grew as a human being, so my job roles grew. I started off working in the health and social care sector in a care home and then moved into training and assessing in care homes, then moved into secondary school teaching and doorways opened to me. And I believe the doorways opened to me as I stepped in my power as a sexual human being. Now, some people find it a little bit challenging when I say that I worked in education and I worked in a secondary school and then I start talking about kink and BDSM and swinging. But I'm a human being and I had sexual needs and that was how they showed up for me. And they were what I did in my private life that didn't impact anything I did in the classroom other than made me a better teacher. It made me a better teacher because I had the serotonin and the dopamine. I was in flow with who I was. I was a confident human being. I was able to go into that classroom and deliver what I needed to deliver because I was in flow with who I am as a human being. I was happy. I had interests outside of work that meant that my needs were being fulfilled and I could show up and give 120% and I did. I taught GCSE and A-level, the best results in the school. You know, I was one of the top teachers in what I was delivering with some of the students I was working with, taking them volunteering and I was good at my job. I was good at my job. I was good in my career. I moved up the ladder really quickly throughout my whole career from starting in health and social care, moving up to middle management, head of department. And I loved it. I loved every minute of it. And it was only the stories that were playing out in my head because of the society we live in where it started to get to the point where I was like, I'm struggling to find this balance where the guilt of my personal life in sex, intimacy and pleasure and the stuff that I was connecting to and swinging bondage and domination was starting to make me feel like a bad person. Since leaving teaching, what's that, seven years ago, I've realised I was doing nothing wrong. And actually, if I hadn't have been in that energy, I don't feel, for me, I would have been as good as what I did. I wouldn't have shown up as well as a teacher. And I don't think I'd have lasted so long in the profession. For me, it gave me so many skill bases about boundaries, consent, communication skills, having healthy interactions with other human beings. I learned so much and certainly teaching helped me. You know, they worked hand in hand. I learned a lot about myself through my job. But even now I can feel that little bit of uncomfortableness in sharing that. Because in society, it's just like, she did what and she did what as a career. People find it really uncomfortable. And I get it. I do get it. But I wasn't doing anything wrong. And I'm proud of my career, my teaching career. And I'm also proud of who I am as a sexual human being. And I'm able to stand in that power and help others stand in theirs. Because I believe when we're really in tune with that, we can live the most orgasmic life and just be so happy. Living in flow, living in that energy and just being the best version of ourselves. And I think we all would like to be the best version of ourselves and show up in the world for our family, for our kids, for our job, for life. It's an amazing energy. And when we don't utilize, we just don't utilize it to its full potential. It has orgasmic, blissful, euphoric potential. And we can tap into it. It's a powerful, powerful energy. And over coming weeks and coming months here in this space, I'm going to be sharing with you how magical that can be. Giving you tips, tricks, tools, or maybe not so many tools, tips and tricks on how we can manifest more of that energy into our life in some really beautiful, simple ways. Some changes we can make that just make life so much better. So the last question is, how could you help me as a business professional improve my sex life and therefore my business?

Let me just share that with you. So my email, which is hello at orgasmic life, you can reach out and connect with me there. You can explore my website and have a look and see if there's anything of interest on there for you. I love going into businesses and talking. I love going and speaking to charities, anyone that will listen to me, to be honest, about how powerful connecting to sex, intimacy and pleasure can be. In the work I've done on one-to-ones, the reason I do what I do is, when I've done work with one-to-ones, I've worked with, I can feel myself getting emotional because this breaks my heart. I have worked with so many professional people who are stuck, scared, sometimes alone. The marriage is broken up because they put sex last on the list of things to do. It was left till last and the relationship burned out. They burn out and things went wrong to the point their health was suffering. That's why I've decided to pivot slightly what I do and not just help people that are really stuck but help people not to be stuck, to prevent being stuck because the people that I've worked with, a lot of them were business professionals and entrepreneurs where sex had been put at the back of the list and it had affected every area of their life. And when sex was put at the front of the list, it impacted on every area of their life. So many changes because when we step into our powers of sexual human being, the ripple effect, the relationship with our kids, our work, our partners, our life changes. It's who we are. It's who we are. And breathe. I'm passionate about what I do. And I want to help as many people as I can.
