Nicolle Hodges

Nicolle Hodges is an independent journalist, sexual freedom philosopher, author, and entrepreneur. Hodges, a former CTV Vancouver television host, and producer, left her previous life to pursue the world of sex, psychedelics, and shedding shame. Staying true to her media roots, she became the culture editor of Herb—the largest cannabis publication in North America—and now writes for Double Blind and Microdose about the impact and integration of psychedelics into mainstream culture. She is a leading host for the investor-focused media platform, The Dales Media Group, where she interviews the top CEOs of psychedelic and crypto companies. In 2017, she launched Men Who Take Baths, a men’s mental health movement and interview series addressing masculinity, vulnerability, and gender equity—from the bath! She is also the founder of Girls Who Say Fuck, a pleasure-centric incubator for ideas that instigate change, including its signature event, ‘The Garden of Earthly Delights’ where women are invited to foster deeper friendships within an erotic environment, using BDSM as a healing modality. She launched a viral movement urging people to rebrand “virginity” to “sexual debut,” pushing back against heteronormative, patriarchal ideas of sexual expression. Her debut book, “Oh, the Places You’ll Go Oh Oh,” explores the power of pleasure through Dr. Suess-style rhyme and illustration. Hodges is currently studying to become a psychedelic-assisted therapist and is passionate about exploring eroticism and friendship as a means to instigate positive change in one's life.
