I think it's time we have "The Talk". Tori and Gwenna are joined by Rachel Coller Mulholland, a nationally certified counselor and author of 'The Birds, The Bees and The Elephant in the Room,' to discuss the importance of having tough conversations with kids about sex and other sensitive topics. Rachel provides advice for parents feeling shame or discomfort around these conversations and emphasizes comprehensive sex education. The book is divided by age appropriateness and covers topics like body awareness, puberty, consent, and healthy relationships, offering a framework for discussing sensitive topics and building trust.
