Joining me on the podcast (in a conversation I really needed) is author, essayist, and sex-positive content creator Gabrielle Alexa Noel. We chat about her book, How to Live With the Internet and Not Let It Run Your Life and so many nuggets to help out those of us who try to use the Internet to create positive change. I’ve been in a place of thinking more carefully about how I want to show up on social media, and this conversation with Gabrielle was just the thing to get my head around some of this stuff. I know you’ll love it too! Gabrielle Alexa Noel is an author, essayist, and sex-positive content creator. She has bylines everywhere including Cosmopolitan, the Huffington Post, Elle, Bitch, and Playboy. Her first book – “How To Live With The Internet and Not Let It Run Your Life” – was just released in March of 2021. You may have seen her on the MTV reality show ‘Singled Out’ (Quibi), the PBS show ‘#MeToo: Now What?’, and the queer comedy series ‘These Thems’.
