We had the good fortune of connecting with Linda Koontz and we’ve shared our conversation below.

Hi Linda, can you talk to us a bit about the social impact of your business?
One of the most rewarding aspects of my 20 years in the Sexual Health & Wellness industry has been seeing how women reclaim their confidence and joy when they thought their sexuality was behind them – especially after menopause. Through The Flirtation Station’s educational parties, workshops, and thoughtfully curated product lines, women from 18 to 90 have discovered fresh chapters of sexual empowerment – whether they’re single, partnered, or anywhere in between.

My work goes beyond individual clients. I’ve supported women in building safer solo practices and guided couples toward deeper intimacy, using communicative tools like massage candles and intimate games. By offering private shopping and one‑on‑one coaching, I’m able to meet each person exactly where they are, ensuring their journey is both personal and impactful.

What should our readers know about your business?
My journey in sexual health and wellness has been both fulfilling and challenging, fueled by a deep passion for empowering women and dismantling stigma. What truly distinguishes The Flirtation Station is our personalized approach – combining education, thoughtfully curated products, and intimate gatherings that foster open, judgment-free conversations about pleasure and wellness. I’m incredibly proud of the supportive community I’ve created, where women of all ages feel seen, valued, and confident to explore their sexuality on their own terms.

The path hasn’t always been smooth. As a woman entrepreneur in the adult industry, I still face unique challenges shaped by societal biases and stereotypes. These experiences have strengthened my resilience and reinforced my commitment to lead with professionalism and empowerment. Through in-home and virtual party events with private shopping experiences, I offer a welcoming space that challenges outdated norms and invites respectful, honest dialogue.

The most important lesson I’ve learned is that perseverance, paired with authenticity, opens doors – not only for me but for broader conversations around sexual wellness and women’s leadership. My brand is much more than products; it’s a movement to normalize pleasure and champion confidence at every stage of life. The Flirtation Station is where women reclaim their stories, experience joy, and connect deeply.

Any places to eat or things to do that you can share with our readers? If they have a friend visiting town, what are some spots they could take them to?
I was born and raised in Miami, attending Miami Palmetto Senior High School before relocating to Fort Lauderdale in 1992 following Hurricane Andrew. If my best friend were visiting South Florida for a week, I’d want her to experience the best of both my hometown’s vibrant energy and the coastal charm of Fort Lauderdale.

We’d kick off with brunch at The Foxy Brown in Fort Lauderdale, enjoying hearty comfort food and a relaxed vibe. Then a stroll down Las Olas Boulevard for boutique shopping and coffee at Java & Jam, soaking in the local laid-back style. Beach time would be key, so I’d take her to Lauderdale-by-the-Sea for some sun and cocktails right on the sand at Aruba Beach Cafe, followed by a visit to Vinnie’s by the Sea for their fresh raw bar and live musical entertainment to really feel the local scene.

To mix things up, a day trip to Miami would be a must. We’d explore Wynwood’s colorful street art and galleries, grab lunch at one of the trendy spots like Wynwood Kitchen & Bar, and maybe pop into the Design District for shopping and browsing local designer stores. For a touch of Miami glamour, sunset cocktails on one of South Beach’s rooftop bars, like Juvia would offer stunning views and great vibes.

Back in Fort Lauderdale, I’d bring her to FATVillage, our local arts district, for gallery hopping. Then we’d head over to Wilton Manors to meet up with some of my friends — I love their selection of vibrant bars and restaurants, perfect for an evening of fun and connection.

To reconnect with nature and nurture the mind and soul during the week, I’d recommend a visit to Hugh Taylor Birch State Park for kayaking or walking trails, offering a peaceful green escape from the noisy city. I’m also a firm believer in grounding and spiritual care, so I’d include Le Sound Temple, a beautiful spot specializing in sound healing and shamanic cleansing that truly nourishes the soul and restores balance.

South Florida is all about that perfect mix of casual beach days, exciting cultural experiences, and lively nights – and that’s exactly what I’d want my best friend to take home.

Shoutout is all about shouting out others who you feel deserve additional recognition and exposure. Who would you like to shoutout?
I want to give a heartfelt shoutout to the many women and mentors who have paved the way in the sexual health and wellness space – those fearless trailblazers who made it possible for conversations about pleasure, empowerment, and self-care to happen openly and without shame. I’m especially grateful to the community of women who have trusted me with their journeys over the past 20 years; their courage and openness inspire me daily.

I also want to recognize my own support system – my husband of 30 years, friends, and family – who have championed this mission with love, laughter, and unwavering encouragement. Books that expanded my perspective, like Come as You Are by Emily Nagoski, have also deeply influenced how I approach empowerment and education.

Ultimately, this work is about connection, and I’m endlessly thankful for everyone who has walked alongside me on this beautiful path.
