Aging Kinky AF reframes aging as erotic evolution—especially for Black, Brown, queer, disabled, and sex-working communities. We blend clinical insight, public health, and lived kink expertise to dismantle ageism and center pleasure as resistance. Attendees will learn adaptive strategies for desire, consent, and connection as bodies, roles, and needs shift across the lifespan. Through quick somatic check-ins, workbook prompts, and facilitated dialogue, we model kink-affirming, trauma-informed practice you can use with clients, partners, and communities right now. Participants will leave with language, tools, and a mini “Desire Intimacy Wellness Inventory™️” they can immediately implement in practice.

Money stress isn’t “just budgeting.” For a lot of clients—especially sex workers—it can be trauma, stigma, survival mode, and nervous system activation all tangled together.

In this workshop, we’re talking about financial trauma + financial anxiety in sex workers through a trauma-informed, culturally responsive, sex work-affirming lens. We’ll cover what it can look like clinically (compulsive spending, avoidance, panic, shame spirals, dissociation around money), why it makes sense, and how to intervene without reinforcing harm.

You’ll leave with practical tools you can use immediately: financial narrative mapping, CBT strategies for money-related anxiety, and boundary-setting/communication practice—plus referral considerations and ethical guidance.

Save this if you work with clients who carry money shame. Share with a colleague who wants to offer care that’s actually aligned.

🎤 Presented By: Stephanie Olano

📌 What to Expect:

A grounded, skills-forward space where we name the realities of financial stress without moralizing it.

We’ll cover:

• how financial trauma shows up for sex workers (clinically + systemically)
• trauma-informed interventions you can actually use (not just theory)
• boundary-setting and communication tools (with role-play prompts)
• ethical considerations, referral pathways, and cultural responsiveness
• case examples + reflective moments to integrate what you’re learning

You’ll walk away with concrete language, structure, and tools for sessions—especially when money shame, avoidance, or urgency is running the room.

👤 Who Is This Space For:

This space is for therapists + sexual health professionals who want to support sex workers with care that’s:

• trauma-informed
• sex-work-affirming
• culturally responsive
• practically useful (not just “insight”)

Especially for you if you’ve ever thought:

• “I don’t want to accidentally shame my client when money comes up.”
• “I need better tools than ‘try a budget.’”
• “I want to understand how trauma + financial behaviors connect.”
• “I want to talk about money and safety and agency in the same conversation.”

If you work with clients navigating stigma, survival, debt, irregular income, or financial panic—this will support your clinical toolbox.

🧠 Learning Objectives:

• By the end of the workshop, participants will be able to identify and describe at least five ways financial trauma manifests in sex workers, including compulsive spending, avoidance behaviors, and anxiety, referencing socio-cultural, ethical, and sexual health considerations.
  • C. Socio-cultural factors (e.g. ethnicity, culture, religion, spirituality, socio-economic status, family values) in relation to sexual values and behaviors
    
• By the end of the workshop, participants will demonstrate at least two trauma-informed intervention techniques tailored for sex workers experiencing financial anxiety, including setting healthy boundaries, budgeting strategies, and referral practices, with fidelity to ethical and culturally responsive care standards.
  
  • O. Professional communication skills

Supporting Birthing People in Navigating Sex and Connection Postpartum

This workshop explores the intersection of sexuality, intimacy, and postpartum experiences for birthing people, addressing an often overlooked aspect of perinatal wellbeing and relational health. While much attention is given to physical recovery and infant care, many birthing people and their partners are left navigating significant changes in desire, body image, identity, and relational connection with little guidance or support.

Using a biopsychosocial and culturally responsive framework, participants will examine the physiological, psychological, relational, and cultural factors that influence postpartum sexual functioning. The training also considers the impact of race, gender identity, sexual orientation, and societal expectations on postpartum intimacy, with attention to the experiences of queer families, nontraditional partnerships, and individuals whose lives intersect with sexuality and erotic labor.

Participants will leave with practical strategies to ethically, confidently, and compassionately support the rebuilding of intimacy, communication, and connection after childbirth, whether in clinical work or within their own relationships and communities.

🎤 Presented By: Victoria Moon

📌 What to Expect:

• A holistic look at postpartum intimacy, including physical, emotional, relational, and cultural influences on sexuality after childbirth.
• Discussion of common challenges, such as shifts in desire, body image, identity, and partnership dynamics.

• Practical tools and strategies for navigating conversations about sex, boundaries, and connection.

👤 Who Is This Space For:

• Partners, loved ones, and caregivers who want to better understand how to support postpartum healing and connection.
• Queer families, nontraditional partnerships, and individuals whose lives intersect with sexuality, including sex workers.
• Anyone interested in learning and growing in this conversation, recognizing that most of us will support someone navigating postpartum life at some point in our communities.

🧠 Learning Objectives:

• By the end of this workshop, participants will be able to identify at least three biopsychosocial factors that influence sexual functioning and intimacy for birthing people in the postpartum period.
  • Core Knowledge (b): Developmental sexuality from a bio-psycho-social perspective across the lifespan
