Sex Rules
Interpersonal Relationships & Violence Prevention Program
Real talk, not just rules.
Sex Rules is an interactive, judgment-free program that uses humor, honesty, and evidence-based education to help students better navigate relationships, consent, communication, and personal boundaries.
This isn’t your typical sit-and-listen session. Through storytelling, live interaction, and audience driven scenarios, students leave feeling seen, respected, and empowered — not shamed or lectured.
Perfect for orientation, Title IX support, or ongoing prevention education, Sex Rules builds the kind of relational intelligence that helps reduce interpersonal violence and increase mutual respect.
Feeling Risky
Substance Education & Empowered Decision Making
Let’s talk about the stuff no one really talks about.
Feeling Risky is an engaging, interactive program that helps students make smarter, safer decisions around alcohol and other substances — without the fear tactics or finger-wagging.
Instead of preaching abstinence or ignoring reality, this program meets students where they are. Using humor, personal storytelling, and proven strategies, I help audiences understand how their brains work under the influence — and how to stay safe, informed, and in control.
This program is perfect for orientation, wellness weeks, Greek life, and leadership trainings focused on harm reduction, empowerment, and critical thinking.

I appreciated Briana’s humor and openness. She tackled hard subjects in a way that kept me engaged without feeling overwhelmed.
Loved this session! Briana is a fantastic speaker — so real, so funny, and so informed.
Keep on being up beat while delivering material. Makes some of the heavier content much easier to handle. Would definitely attend another presentation from Briana!
I would like her to know that she did a fantastic job! Memorizing an hour of presentation as well as having a theatrical background made her presentation unlike anything I’ve seen.
Briana’s session was the most engaging and effective talk on sex ed I’ve ever attended. Funny, clear, and empowering.

Speaking FAQs
(aka: The “Let’s Get This Thing Booked” Questions)
Who do you speak to?
College students figuring life out. Military professionals navigating real- life risks. Corporate teams trying to connect better (and stay awake). I tailor each talk so it hits home — whether the audience is 18, 48, 88 or anywhere in between.
What topics do you cover?
I talk about the real stuff: communication, connection, consent, boundaries, creativity, and making smarter choices when things get risky. Sometimes heavy, always human — and surprisingly fun.
Will you make us laugh?
Oh, absolutely. But it’s not comedy for comedy’s sake — it’s humor that opens people up, lowers defenses, and helps the message stick.
Do you customize your talks?
Sure can and do. Some of the military and college keynotes themselves (whether presented by me or one of my incredible teammates) are standard across the board in order to ensure we’re efficiently and appropriately covering all the required and often-heavy information we need to get through. But the interactive elements are always different.
Corporate keynotes are often (and happily) customized to make sure the message I’m best at bringing will be the most effective for your team. I’ll always work with you to make sure the content is relevant, timely, and impactful.
Is it interactive?
Oh yeah. That’s, like, my specialty. No one’s zoning out on my watch. Whether it’s a keynote, a workshop, or a training session, I keep things moving, engaging, and participatory — in the best way.
Do you speak virtually too?
Sure do. It’s not my preference, but it is possible. Hit me up and we can talk about how to make it work for both of us.
How long are your sessions?
Most keynotes are 45-75 minutes. Workshops can run longer. I’ll work with your timing and flow — I’ve done everything from quick hits to full-day events.
Can we book multiple talks?
Yes! I love doing back-to-back programs, themed series, or multi-session events. Let’s build something impactful that goes beyond a one-off.
What do you need from us?
On the technical front: A mic, a screen, and an audience ready to engage. I’ll send a simple tech/ setup checklist.
On the personal front: A clear sense of what you hope to gain from the experience, and what message will best resonate with your people.
What’s your fee?
It depends on the event, format, and number of sessions — but I keep it transparent and easy. Reach out with the basics and I’ll send a quote that works for both of us.
How do we book you?
Just fill out this form, send me a note at briana@brianahansen.com, or shout really loudly into the wind (just kidding — use the form). We’ll set up a quick call to chat to see what magic we can make happen.
Wait... do you really talk about sex and drugs on stage?
Yep. And people love it. Not in a shock-value way — in a smart, funny, let’s-have-the conversation- we-actually-need kind of way. These topics affect real lives, and when we talk about them honestly (and with levity), people listen — and walk away better for it. It’s also not the only thing we talk about. So don’t hesitate to reach out if you’re interested.
