STIMULATE is kicking off 2026 with energy, commitment and enthusiasm to support professionals within the sexual health and wellbeing categories. From store operators to brand leaders to medical professionals to pelvic floor therapists to sex-perts and more, there are countless folks helping to shape the immediate and future needs of sexual wellness. Aiming to eliminate stigma, elevate connectivity of products to individuals and strengthen overall visibility of discussions, resources and products alike, the below resolutions are created with these professionals in mind.
1. Own your voice at the intersection of business, pleasure, and sexual wellbeing—without apology.
Your perspective matters, and the industry needs leaders who are willing to speak clearly, confidently, and authentically. Owning your voice means trusting your expertise and honoring the work you’ve put into building it. When you stop shrinking or second-guessing yourself, you give others permission to show up fully, too. Confidence isn’t arrogance—it’s leadership.
2. Deliver content that stimulates engaged audiences and smarter business strategies alike.
Education and impact go hand in hand when content is intentional and well-executed. Focus on creating work that informs, inspires, and moves people to action, while also supporting your business goals. Thoughtful content builds trust, strengthens credibility, and positions you as a leader who understands both people and performance. When strategy meets substance, everyone benefits.
3. Invest in business relationships that support your goals—and with those who genuinely want to help you succeed.
Not every opportunity deserves a yes, and not every connection is aligned. Prioritize relationships rooted in respect, shared values, and mutual growth. Surrounding yourself with people who champion your success creates momentum that no solo effort can replicate. Community isn’t just supportive, it’s strategic.
4. Choose experiences that align with your values, amplify meaningful impact, and inspire you to do better.
Where you show up matters. The right experiences challenge you, expand your thinking, and reinforce the kind of leader you want to be. Alignment fuels motivation, clarity, and confidence—while misalignment drains energy and focus. Choose spaces that elevate both your work and your standards.
5. Streamline your business efforts so creativity, growth, and wellbeing can thrive together.
Sustainable success isn’t built on burnout. Simplifying systems, refining workflows, and setting boundaries creates space for innovation and joy. When your business supports your wellbeing, creativity flows more freely and decisions become clearer. Efficiency isn’t about doing less. It’s about doing what matters most.
6. Measure success by positive strides forward, revenue-growing efforts, and your enjoyment along the way.
Success is not one-dimensional. It’s progress, profitability, fulfillment, and momentum working together. Celebrate growth in all its forms… financial wins, personal confidence, audience impact, and genuine satisfaction. When you enjoy the journey, success becomes something you can sustain.
Together, these resolutions reflect a shared commitment to growth, alignment, and leadership—both individually and as an industry.
When sexual wellness professionals come together with clarity of purpose, confidence in their voice, and a willingness to evolve, the impact extends far beyond business results.
This is the energy we continue to cultivate within the STIMULATE community year-round, and it’s what brings us together in meaningful ways. We look forward to continuing these conversations – and turning intention into action – when professionals from across the industry gather for our annual STIMULATE Trade Show & Conference on August 3 + 4, 2026, in Nashville. The year ahead is full of opportunity, and we’re excited to build what’s next.. together.
