The Sex Education We Deserved (But Never Got) with Dr. Nadine Thornhill

For those of us who never got the sex education we needed - those left with gaps, shame, or straight-up misinformation - this episode is for us. Dr. Nadine Thornhill, an award-winning sexuality educator, joins us to break down what comprehensive, science-backed sex education could and does look like, and why it matters. We explore ideas around teaching youth about consent, pleasure, and relationships in ways that are affirming and age-appropriate.  - Can abstinence-only education and sex positivity coexist?  - Where do queerness and asexuality fit into the curriculum?  - How do we fight back when comprehensive sex ed continues to be targeted and outlawed?  Dr. Thornhill shares insights, strategies, and resources for educators, parents, and anyone who believes in giving the next generation the knowledge and tools that we missed.
