What are the highs and lows of our sex education experience? How can parents talk about sex with their kids in a way that doesn’t lead to awkward, irreverent associations with sex?

Join my sister Hannah and I as we have an open discussion about her work in sex education, the harms of over-spiritualizing sex education between parents and kids, when and how it is helpful to bring theology into sex education, our own highs and lows of how we were educated on sex in our formative years. 

We both grew up in a big, Catholic family of 8 kids and it was wonderful to compare with her our experience of sex education growing up, how it has impacted us as adults, and to share our musings on how parents could better talk about sex with their teenagers!
