02 Premise
We have made almost everything speakable. Mental health. Money. Grief. One subject stayed behind the door: sex, and what happens when it goes wrong. The silence is not neutral. It delays diagnosis, ends relationships, and empties the leadership pipeline of women in their forties and fifties. The Last Taboo names the cost, shows the room where the silence comes from, and gives it the words to start.
03 After this talk your people will
- Name the issue out loud, in a work context, without flinching.
- Know what it costs, in health outcomes and in workforce numbers.
- Know where to send someone who needs help.
