Raising Greener Teens is a part of the EcoParent Podcast Network: https://www.ecoparent.ca/podcasts

I’m your host Manda Aufochs Gillespie and this is the Raising Greener Teens podcast. Where we as parents take all the curiosity, self-empowerment, and other parenting tools that got us this far and apply them to understanding our teenagers better and hopefully shepherd them to becoming curious, self-empowered, caring and courageous citizens of the future. On Today’s episode I interview author, podcast host, and Fertility educator Lisa Hendrickson Jack about all things fertility and your teen. And we ask: What is your teen not learning in sex ed?

About the Episode:
What does the everyday environmentalist think about what it takes these days to raise teenagers to be the future citizens the world needs. What’s important for parents, aunties and uncles, and others to consider when we go to these years beyond the days of parental control and move more towards influencing future adults.

Host Bio & Links:
Are you a parent to a teenager? For most parents, the teenage years can be the most challenging. Parenthood will make the best of us rethink our fundamental values and question our preconceived beliefs. The Raising Greener Teens podcast invites listeners to use their skills of curiosity, research, and humour to further develop as experts in the care of their family and to help guide the teens in their care to do the same.

Host Manda Aufochs Gillespie is the author of Green Mama & Green Mama-to-be, creator of the award-winning website thegreenmama.com, and founder of Folk University (folku.ca) and FolkU radio. She interviews doctors, naturopaths, sex educators, brain researchers, drug counsellors, parents who seem to be doing it better, and all sorts of interesting people in this series to provide inspiration to parents of teens and pre-teens, and—hopefully—teens themselves. Join Manda and her teenage daughter as they ask the experts: Is this the way it’s supposed to be?
