Nicole Lim Is Changing The Way Women Approach Taboo Topics
Feel like you’ve seen Nicole Lim somewhere before? It might be because you’ve caught an episode of Something Private, which started out in 2019 as a podcast on female sexual health and wellness, but now includes videos of the discussions and covers a variety of other topics. The 25-yearold is not only its host and producer, but also its brains – upon graduating from NTU’s Wee Kim Wee School of Communication and Information, she pitched the launch of a podcast to media production company Our Grandfather Story (OGS). An exchange of ideas ensued and OGS added it to its offerings.

At present, the channel has some 7,000 followers on Instagram, over 100,000 downloads across all its podcasting platforms including Spotify, Apple, Google and Anchor, and over 100,000 combined views on Youtube. Nicole opens up about what inspired her to embark on this endeavour, how her upbringing shaped the way she approaches sensitive subjects, and her plans for expansion in the near future.

MASTURBATION, THE MOST POPULAR EPISODE

Something Private was started because Nicole and the team felt like there just wasn’t enough ready information on certain topics.

“We felt that conversations around women had not yet been explored in depth. It felt natural to begin by talking about sexual health, which is typically shied away from in our society, but has become an acceptable topic of discussion in recent years,” she explains. Some of the related topics she has covered include vulva care and “making masturbation mainstream”, the latter of which is the most popular podcast episode thus far.
