What if advertising, porn and social media have taught us almost everything wrong about sex, identity and relationships?

In this special live episode of the Empower Podcast, recorded at Cannes Lions, host Kate Chaundy is joined by MakeLoveNotPorn founder and entrepreneur Cindy Gallop and Street Agency founder Katie Street for a conversation that challenges some of society's biggest taboos.

After leading some of the world's largest advertising agencies, Cindy Gallop has become one of the industry's most fearless voices, taking a sledgehammer to sexism, ageism and the harmful narratives that shape how we see ourselves and each other.

Together, the panel explores the uncomfortable truth about the stories we're sold every day—and how advertising, entertainment, social media and pornography have influenced our ideas of beauty, confidence, intimacy and success.

Who should be held accountable for these narratives? Can - and should - brands help rewrite the script? And what happens when we start telling more honest stories about sex, relationships and identity?

From dismantling outdated stereotypes to exposing the hidden influence of culture on our everyday lives, this is a provocative, eye-opening conversation that might just change the way you see the world.
