026 – S1 E25 – How might we teach sex education from a more holistic lens–free from fear, shame, and judgment?

homeroom is an international podcast bridging the education gap between the classroom and the living room by starting conversations impacting the next generation. In this episode, I speak with Máire, a Universal Tao Instructor who has studied Occupational Therapy, Bereavement & Loss, as well as Trauma & Polyvagal Theory. We talk about the patriarchal framework that traditional sex education falls within, and how Taoism provides a more holistic and natural approach. We also discuss how traditional sex education programs are problematic for our children—and, especially teen girls and women. Check out our conversation, join our ongoing discourse on social media, and subscribe for more. https://www.instagram.com/homeroomed/ — Máire Ní G is a Taoist instructor with a health science degree and the founder of Feminine Sexual Alchemy.
