Too busy for sex ed? Let’s make it doable
So… you want to have the sex ed conversations – but between school drop-offs, groceries, and work deadlines, it just never seems to happen.
In this episode, I’ll show you what sex ed actually looks like in a busy household – and how short, natural, everyday chats can make a bigger impact than any “big talk” ever will.
I’ll even share some real-life stories from my own house (including a few very awkward questions my kids asked me at the worst possible moment 😅).

One-minute challenge
Your challenge this week is simple:

You don’t need more time – you just need a cue.
