The Sexy Lifestyle with Carol and David

HEDONISM II CARES WITH FIONA AND DIANA

·42 min·4 clips
Two Hedonism employees reveal how a category 5 hurricane devastated their Jamaican community and how the resort helped.
The mood turns. Carol and David tell listeners this will not be their usual chat about sexuality, sensuality, and relationships. Hurricane Melissa hit Jamaica in October 2025, and the category 5 storm puts the focus on Hedonism staff who had to live through it. The questions are plain: what came in, who needed help most, and how did the resort family decide where the help should go? Bags were packed and packed again. Diana names the practical supplies guests sent, including tarpaulins, lanterns, solar lights, power bands, solar fans, batteries, food, clothes, shoes, and gloves. Fiona then explains how the Hedonism 2 Foundation handled cash donations made through the Hedonism website. Sorting mattered. Team members were grouped by minor damage, major damage, or total destruction, so the money could meet the actual need. Some people received funds twice, with the second payment going to those facing bigger repairs after total destruction. Carol keeps pulling the conversation back to daily life. She asks whether anyone checks that repairs happen and people are safe again. Fiona says yes. Her job includes seeing team members every day, asking about rebuilding, and tracking how recovery is really going. Work became shelter too, with food, water, power, internet, and a safe place for employees after the storm. The tone stays warm without dodging the hard parts. Guests, workers, family, and one-love care for Jamaica keep coming up. By the end, listeners are pointed to the Hedonism 2 Foundation Instagram and Facebook pages to see projects and activities going back to 2022.
