How to talk to your kids about sex and other things. with Lonelle Madsen Ep. 117

Disclaimer - Lonelle and I discuss sex, suicide, pornography and abstinence in this episode today.  If you have little ears listening or this makes you uncomfortable or triggered….please wait to listen to this episode when you are alone or skip this one. Do you have no idea how to have conversations with your kids about sex, dating, relationships? Have you just ignored questions your kids may ask you because you feel uncomfortable yourself talking about intimacy? Lonelle Madsen is dedicated to empowering all parents in raising their children to navigate the complexities of dating, relationships and sexual intimacy with confidence and wisdom. We talk about it all in this episode and so much more.  WE talk about dating and sex and things that go hand in hand.  How to start a conversation about these topics even when you feel uncomfortable.  Lonelle shares her own journey with being a single parent to 2 kids and how that shaped the work she is doing now.  I love how she says we are preparing them not protecting them because isn’t that what we all want to do…protect our kids but is that the best for them in the long run.
