Not our sex lives (James & John can sigh with relief!) but how we talk to our children about theirs. Because despite what many of us were told, teaching children about sex isn’t “too much too soon,” and using the correct names for body parts won’t “take away their innocence.” 


In this episode, we tackle the biggest myths that stop parents from having open, honest conversations about sex, consent, body autonomy, pleasure, and safety and why starting early sets the foundation for trust, confidence, and healthy relationships down the line.
