We’re looking forward to introducing you to KarenLee Poter. Check out our conversation below.
Hi KarenLee, thank you so much for taking time out of your busy day to share your story, experiences and insights with our readers. Let’s jump right in with an interesting one: What is something outside of work that is bringing you joy lately?
I have a 9 month old grandson who is like a shot of dopamine. Watching him achieve milestones is fascinating.
Can you briefly introduce yourself and share what makes you or your brand unique?
As the mom behind “Sex Talk With My Mom,” I never imagined I’d be hosting a podcast where I openly discuss sex, relationships, and everything in between—with my own son. What makes our show truly unique is this dynamic: we break the traditional silence between generations, tackling topics most families would never dare to address at the dinner table. Our conversations are honest, awkward, and often hilarious, but always rooted in love and curiosity. By sharing our stories and inviting guests from all walks of life, we hope to normalize conversations about intimacy and bridge the gap between parents and kids—one candid chat at a time.
Thanks for sharing that. Would love to go back in time and hear about how your past might have impacted who you are today. What did you believe about yourself as a child that you no longer believe?
As a child and young adult I was taught to be concerned about what others thought of me. I know now that what matters is what I think of myself and my actions.
When did you stop hiding your pain and start using it as power?
When my husband suddenly passed away I was understandably crushed. I acted on impulse, gathered my three kids and said, “We are still a family and we will be strong. There was no time to crawl under the bed and hide from the world.” From that moment on I realized that I’m a powerful force and there was no stopping me from being a role model to others.
I think our readers would appreciate hearing more about your values and what you think matters in life and career, etc. So our next question is along those lines. Is the public version of you the real you?
Because I’ve co-hosted my podcast, “Sex Talk With My Mom” for nearly 10 years, my life as a confident older woman is pretty much the real me. I still have some secrets but for the most part what you see is what you get.
Before we go, we’d love to hear your thoughts on some longer-run, legacy type questions. What do you understand deeply that most people don’t?
Don’t take life so seriously and to follow your gut. You learn more from your failures than your successes so whatever path you take will be the right one.
