We were lucky to catch up with Marisol Sanchez-Blesa recently and have shared our conversation below.

Alright, Marisol thanks for taking the time to share your stories and insights with us today. We’re complete cheeseballs and so we love asking folks to share the most heartwarming moment from their career – do you have a touching moment you can share with us?

I had this awesome experience working with a teenager who was surprisingly well-versed in relationships and s*x education. Curious about where she got all this knowledge, I asked her, and she shared a cool approach her parents took. Whenever she had questions, she would have open conversations with them. They didn’t shy away from exploring topics like the structure of the clitoris or the intricacies of genital anatomy. It wasn’t just about the physical aspects, though; they also delved into the importance of consent and what makes a relationship healthy. The whole experience underscored for me how impactful and crucial those parent-child conversations can be in shaping a young person’s understanding of these vital aspects of life.

Great, appreciate you sharing that with us. Before we ask you to share more of your insights, can you take a moment to introduce yourself and how you got to where you are today to our readers.

I started my journey in comprehensive s*x education advocacy during my sociology studies – beginning with curiosity and evolving into a true passion. I continued delving into the subject during my MSc in Gender, Sexuality, and Society. In 2021, I officially became a certified sexologist, enhancing my expertise.

For over a decade, I’ve been in the business of empowering adults as a coach and s*x educator, assisting them in living fulfilling s*x lives. However, what truly opened my eyes was motherhood, highlighting the need to discuss s*x ed early.

Now, my focus is on supporting parents and educators, creating social media and online content, and conducting training sessions.

If you could go back in time, do you think you would have chosen a different profession or specialty?

Figuring out if I would have gone for the same career is a bit of a puzzle. I’ve always been into professions that help people out, but sexology wasn’t exactly plan A. It kind of just found its way to me through a mix of different things, like delving into classic sexology reads from the 19th and 20th centuries during my Sociology degree. I also discovered that I naturally find it easy to talk about s*x and sexuality with people. But you know what? Once that “passion for sexology” got me, it stuck. I can’t shake it off, and honestly, I wouldn’t want to.

Have you ever had to pivot?

This isn’t a story I typically share, but I believe it’s crucial to emphasize the importance of focusing on what you love and creating content that aligns with your true self. A few years ago, I managed YouTube channels in both English and Spanish. The Spanish channel was on the brink of hitting 100,000 subscribers (around 97-98k). During that time, I was working as a s*x coach, guiding adults and couples, so those channels focused on adult s*x education.

However, I reached a point where I realized the content no longer resonated with me. Life had changed—I became a mom, and my interests evolved. So, I decided to start from scratch because I recognized my true passion was in helping parents. Just a reminder: the number of subscribers doesn’t say much about success. True success lies in doing what you love.
