Summary

In celebration of my first children's book, Any Day Emotions, we're focusing on Family and Parenting over the next few weeks! Today I have an on-air session with Gabe and Rebekah, who've been really intentional about creating an environment where no conversation or topic is off limits for their kids. They can come to them with anything. We talk about how to navigate conversations about sex, lust, desire, and other hard topics - and how to create an environment that encourages other conversations that can sometimes feel intimidating for parents and awkward for children.

0:00.0	I would say the other theme we've enjoyed has been this phrase we use a lot, no topic off limits, parenting.
0:11.1	And that's really been part of where we've seen so much unity, especially with our older kids,
0:16.1	as they were moving through those middle school, high school years to feel this security and safety and belonging in our home
0:22.5	to where whatever they were walking through, whatever they saw on social media or one of their
0:26.8	friends brought up, they knew it was very safe to bring it up with us and to try to learn more about,
0:31.8	what are they talking about? What does that word mean? Let's talk about sex and like, what is God's
0:36.9	view of that versus what my friend's telling me.
0:38.6	You know, having that kind of environment has created an ability for vulnerability to be embraced
0:44.6	and for our children, I think, to feel like they're safe and seen and known and there isn't shame.
0:57.2	Are you ready to talk to me? My name is Deborah Felata and I'm a licensed professional counselor, national speaker, and
1:03.0	author. Through my blog, books, and podcast, I have the privilege of helping millions of people
1:08.5	get healthy mentally, emotionally, spiritually, and
1:11.9	relationally. The purpose of this podcast is to have on-air, authentic counseling-style sessions
1:19.2	where we talk about how people are really doing and give my guests and callers an opportunity
1:24.9	to talk to me as a licensed professional counselor. Each of these
1:29.3	episodes is meant to show you that we are all on the journey of healing, mentally, emotionally,
1:35.7	spiritually and relationally, together. None of us are immune to the challenges and struggles of
1:43.0	life, but we don't have to walk this path alone.
1:47.3	I'm so proud and honored to be having these conversations with men and women who are
1:52.6	courageously paving the way for open and honest conversations about their personal journey
1:57.7	of healing.
1:58.2	So if you're ready, let's talk.
