Making quiet conversations, LOUD.
The "WHO" and the "WHY"
Dr. Olivia Richman is a Cuban-American Family Medicine physician, author, speaker, and content creator known for her engaging and dynamic approach to sexual health education. Witnessing countless cases of sexual assault and unwanted teen pregnancies during medical school, she was inspired to launch her YouTube channel, GlamourPuss, MD, to educate Millennials and Gen Z about sexual health in a captivating and accessible way. Her channel's success led to two impactful TEDx talks, where she emphasized the importance of "making quiet conversations loud" and encouraged open discussions about sexual wellness and education.
Dr. Olivia is the author of *The Thriver's Guide to Medical School*, a candid and inspiring book that shares her journey through isolating failures, lonely heartbreaks, and devastating setbacks, and how she transformed each challenge into a powerful comeback using "mental health hacks." Her compelling storytelling has resonated with audiences at prestigious institutions such as Wake Forest Medical School, Brown Medical School, the International AMSA conference in 2022 and 2023, the NE LMSA Regional Conference at Johns Hopkins Medical School, the LMSA SE Regional Conference, and Drexel Medical School.
As a National Sorority Speaker, Dr. Olivia brings her energetic and entertaining style to sex education workshops across the country, including the Sigma Delta Tau National Conference, Zeta Tau Alpha, Delta Gamma, Alpha Delta Pi, Sigma Kappa, Gamma Phi, and Alpha Phi chapters at universities such as UPenn, UCSB, GWU, UMich, UBC, UMaryland, and USC. In 2024, she also spoke at the National SexPos Conference in California, further solidifying her role as a leading voice in sexual health education.
Topics of Expertise
SEX
It's high time we stop shaming and start shining a spotlight on the *hush*hush* subject of sex and masturbation. Our education system lacks proper coverage, and our infrastructure has some serious cracks. Let's raise our voices, make some noise, and share our stories so we can break the silence and create a more open and inclusive dialogue. I'm here to make Quiet Conversations, LOUD!
CONFIDENCE
Confidence is a vital attribute in life to create self love and empowerment. It allows us to pursue ours goals and dreams with unwavering determination, showing us time and time again that self-assured individuals with confidence are more likely to take risks and step out of their comfort zones, leading to success and happiness. Confidence serves as a resilience booster, helping individuals bounce back from setbacks and failures, ultimately promoting mental and emotional well-being.
MINDSET
Mindset really is everything! Don't miss out on my book, a dedicated tribute to the underdogs. The first of it's kind - a book aiming to fight burn out in medical students - I shine a light on my failures and openly discuss my struggles, a topic no one in medicine wants to discuss. I demonstrate how "mental health hacks" can empower you to conquer any obstacle life throws your way. Get ready to embrace tools that will help you rise above challenges and thrive.
