Talking to our kids about bodies, gender, sex and consent can feel awkward. It can make even the most confident parent freeze.

In this episode, I’m joined by Danae Beckwith, sexologist, therapist and educator, to unpack how we actually do these conversations in real life.

We talk about:

What matters more than getting the words right.
How to respond when your child asks something that catches you off guard.
What kids need to understand at different ages and what can wait.
And how to shift from fear to steadiness when these topics come up.

Danae brings warmth, humour and zero judgement to conversations that many of us didn’t grow up having. Together, we explore how open, age-appropriate conversations build trust, body confidence and emotional safety.

If you’ve ever thought, “I don’t know what to say,” this episode will help you feel calmer and more equipped.

If this episode sparked something for you, Danae works directly with individuals, couples and families who want more confidence and clarity in this space.
