Trigger warning.  

In this episode, coaches Leanne and Greg talk about what consent is, what it isn't, who can give consent and what red flags to look for in case someone isn't capable of speaking up when they are uncomfortable. They share their own experiences and hope to inspire others to be able to seek enthusiastic consent in their relationships always.  This episode uses some graphic sexual terms, profanity and refers to sexual assault.
