BODIES (Part 2)

In part two of this episode, sex educator Julia Feldman joins me for a round of rapid-fire questions about bodily autonomy, exploration, boundaries, language, and about pushing back against cultural expectations. I also talk with Lori Mannette about her adopted child Charlie, and how she encourages him (and everyone) to critically investigate their own beliefs and opinions. Then I’m joined by Ellen & Tom Macy, about the things they bring to their parenting from their own upbringings, and about Ellen’s relationship with her body through a cancer diagnosis at age 24. And to round out the episode, I chat with playwright, screenwriter, and educator Topher Payne, about how he learned the importance of personal boundaries, and about how he uses his writing to show children the value of creating boundaries in their own lives.
