4 NOV. 2021 · Today we’re talking about sexual education and how to normalize these conversations with your children. We want to share our own experiences that we’ve had with our parents and other family members that have worked and also what things have not worked. Jenna’s parents took their kids on father-son and mother-daughter camping trips where they had sex talks and discussed sex education. Brittney’s mom had open dialogue about having a period and shared her own experiences with her when she began to go through it at a young age, which opened her up to feeling comfortable discussing those topics in the future.

“Research shows that children really benefit from talking, learning about these topics at younger ages, and preparing them through the developmental aspects of life. You can start having these conversations with children when they’re as young as 2. Just talking to them about their body and how it’s growing, how amazing it is and kind of building upon those moments to prepare them so that when they are around 12 or 14 years old, they have a solid basis on the topics, but also they’re just comfortable talking about it.” 8:01
28 OCT. 2021 · In this episode we have a mother daughter team to speak with us who design and deliver presentations, workshops, and curriculum to schools and organizations throughout the United States and Mexico. They bring together the perspectives and insights of an educator and a psychologist and they teach their sexual health and responsibility curriculum at public and independent schools internationally, and they support parents in communicating their values and ethics through meaningful dialogue. Additionally, they offer parents and educators practical ways to help children navigate the world of media technology.

“That mother had no idea that her son had access to that game, like there were no bad parents here. We’re living in a culture where kids are being told all the time about sex in a thousand different ways, if it’s video games, or advertisements, or YouTube videos, or TikTok, whatever it is, a lot of people are telling them what sex is and what sexy is, and how they’re supposed to be. It’s really outside of what any parent can get control over.” 7:25
21 OCT. 2021 · Today we will be talking about what consent means, how the definition has transformed over the years with culture, and then we’ll be breaking down some of the myths people believe about it. Consent is a freely given, enthusiastic, knowledgeable, and informed agreement between two people for something to happen or to do something. Traditionally it has always been the job of the woman to tell the man no or when to stop and that no means no, which experts now say should not be the case. We also discuss the myths of consent, such as children under the age of 18 and what kind of things they’re able to give consent to and what things they’re not able to.

“It also teaches children that they have the right to decide what happens to their bodies, that they are in charge of their bodies. No one else is in charge of their bodies except for themselves.” 14:17
14 OCT. 2021 · In this episode we will be talking about teaching sex education and talking about sexuality through love and positivity while avoiding shame. We’re going to be building on what we learned from Jeremy Bodin and applying it to how parents can talk to their younger children and adolescents about sex and sexuality. Using the wrong terms and vocabulary can confuse children if we’re not careful, so the best approach is to just refer to everything as their correct anatomical names. Having loving, positive conversations with children/adolescents will give them a lot more confidence and understanding in their sexuality and they’ll be much less likely to hide that part about themselves.

“Messaging about sexuality can start at the time you’re changing a baby’s diaper, like if you’re making grossed out faces while you’re changing your baby’s diaper, that’s kind of giving the message that their genitals are gross or bad or nasty. Those messages are all around us.” 5:51
7 OCT. 2021 · Today we have with us Dr. Jeremy Boden who is an associate professor of Family Science at Utah Valley University where he teaches courses in marriage and relationships, human sexuality, family dynamics, and couples therapy in the Marriage and Family Therapy graduate program. He’s also a licensed marriage and family therapist and maintains a small private practice in Provo, Utah. We discuss shame and guilt in sexuality and the differences between the two, shame being bad and guilt being good. The language we use around people or unhealthy/toxic metaphors we use about sexuality can be damaging to how people view this part of themselves. Everyone has their own views that they develop from a young age and it’s healthy to really take a look at these views/beliefs and challenge them to see if they really are what we should believe.

“Sometimes we get sexual scripts or messages from our culture, from our religion, from our parents, from our peers, from our mentors and teachers that are less than healthy, and so those are unhealthy weeds that get planted into our soil.” 10:06
20 SEP. 2021 · Today we’re going to talk about sexual violence prevention both through general means and through sexual education. We’re going to discuss a little bit about what sexual assault prevention is and what it is not. ⅕ women experience rape in their lifetime and about 80% of women experience some form of sexual assault in their life. The effect that sexual violence has on people can be devastating. 94% of survivors display PTSD from their experience and a third of survivors contemplate suicide, and then they are 10 times more likely to turn to substance abuse. Often preventing sexual violence focuses on the woman/victim, but another large portion of prevention is understanding the perpetrator and keeping them from becoming the type of person that would act out.

“Protective factors can be anything from learning how to work through conflict peacefully and also seeing your caretaker, seeing your parents, or your family work through conflict in a peaceful and respectful way. That makes a huge difference to see those behaviors modeled. That’s how children learn.” 12:47
20 SEP. 2021 · In this episode we introduce Brittney, who went to law school at Brigham Young University and completed specialized sexual education research, which we will talk about, and then went to Georgetown to obtain a specialty law degree. She grew up in the American South where her sex education was very limited, which has led her to where she is today. Brittney experienced sexual assault growing up and didn’t realize that there was something she could do about it. As she learned more and began her healing journey, she decided to follow the path of educating people on sexual assault and prevention.

“I started to get really angry. I was so mad. Why didn’t anyone tell me what consent was? Why did no one tell me I had the power to say yes or no? Why did nobody tell me what coercion was and the fact that people are manipulative in these ways?” 7:04
