| 0:00.0 | Hey friends, welcome back. This month we're talking about sex and our kids. How do we talk to our kids about sex, about their bodies? What's normal? What's appropriate and inappropriate? And what's best? What about hot topics like little ones touching themselves? |
| 0:23.4 | I know that I've had these questions and I've always wished that I had a group of women |
| 0:27.1 | to talk about these things with, to share experiences and to understand that I'm not alone |
| 0:34.0 | and it's not unusual to have these questions as we're navigating such tender territory. |
| 0:41.5 | Well, this episode is an invitation for you to come inside of one of our circle chats, my group |

| 1:47.4 | us weren't raised with any conversation on this so we don't know how to navigate it because it |
| 1:51.7 | hasn't been modeled for us and then finally what i think is the most tricky part of it is that |
| 1:56.1 | it's not like do i eat broccoli or do i not eat broccoli? Because the answer is yes, your whole |
