Ever felt lost steering through the sea of sex education with your tween or teen? Natalie Stokell joins us as a beacon of hope, advocating for a transformative and positive spin on this crucial aspect of parenting. She brings to the table a rich tapestry of psychology and parenting experience, making her the ideal guide for breaking generational silence and including must-have conversations about pleasure and healthy relationships. With Natalie's insights, we'll arm you with the tools to initiate these essential dialogues and navigate the digital age's explicit challenges, ensuring our youth are prepared for confident and informed intimate futures.

If you think that sex education is just about preventing diseases and pregnancies, think again. Our latest episode takes you through a reimagined journey of sex ed, where connection, healthy relationships, and pleasure anatomy are the core tenets. Natalie Stokell sheds light on why feeling-based sex education is so critical during the whirlwind of adolescence and how equipping teens with knowledge can actually lead to safer, not riskier, behaviors. We don't shy away from discussing mainstream porn's impact either, as we explore the importance of porn literacy and debunking myths for a healthier understanding of sexual pleasure.

The conversation doesn't stop there; we're passionate about ensuring these life lessons aren't relegated to awkward school assemblies or hushed whispers. Natalie's "Tell Your Daughters" platform is a treasure trove of resources, offering workshops like "Tools for Teens," which tackle consent and communication in bite-sized, relatable chunks. And for parents feeling out of their depth? We've got you covered with an evening session dedicated to you, complete with an online toolkit to support those dinner table talks. So tune in, as Natalie Stokell helps us step up the sex education game, for both our daughters and sons, and transforms uneasy conversations into empowering ones.
