The Talk — Done Right

About this episode

This episode provides parents with tools and confidence to discuss sex education with their children early on.

Mary Flo Ridley and Megan Michelson have spent decades helping parents have the conversations most of us were never taught to have. Their Birds & Bees online course walks families through how to talk to kids about sex — starting in early elementary, long before the dreaded “talk.” This episode is about giving Sage Sisters listeners the tools, the language, and the confidence to be the trusted voice in their child’s life on one of the most important topics of our time.
