What happens when conversations get real about life, choice, and responsibility? In this episode of Girls Gone Gritty, Farley, Darian, and Jennifer take on one of the most controversial and personal topics: abortion and reproductive rights. They share candid thoughts on what “my body, my choice” means, the role of education in preventing unintended pregnancies, and how state laws after Roe v. Wade impact families across the U.S.
The conversation doesn’t stop there. The hosts also highlight how parents can approach tough talks with their kids, stressing the importance of honesty, education, and responsibility in sexual relationships. They raise questions about fairness between men and women, responsibility in contraception, and the dangers of leaving young people unprepared.
Listeners will also hear their take on trending headlines, from robotic bees to questionable ad campaigns and AI gone too far, plus an inspiring “Got Grit” story of Kendall Cummings, a young man who wrestled a bear to save his friend. This episode challenges, informs, and ultimately reminds us of the power of conversation.
