We’re Still Figuring This Out (But We’re Talking To Our Kids About Sex Anyway)

In this episode, Nic is joined by his wife Janna for an honest, slightly awkward, and definitely unscripted conversation about how they’re learning to talk to their kids about sex while still healing from the way they were raised.

This is part two of the Let’s Talk About Sex series. If part one (with Cindy Wang Brandt) was the wise, expert perspective… this is the messy middle. The part where you’re still figuring out what you believe, what language feels right, and how to even start the convo without passing on the same shame and silence you grew up with.

Together, Nic and Janna talk about:

• Growing up in purity culture and how it shaped their views on sex

• What it’s like to rewrite the script while raising kids in real time

• Why saying the words out loud (yes, even “vulva”) matters

• How their views on intimacy have evolved over the years

• The convos that worked, the ones that flopped, and the ones that came out of nowhere while folding laundry

This isn’t a how-to guide. It’s not a list of rules.

It’s two parents, sitting together, trying to raise whole humans while still becoming whole themselves.

If you’ve ever felt behind, unsure, or completely unqualified to have “the talk” with your kids—this one’s for you.
