My guests on the podcast this week are Jeff and Tammy Hill. Tammy Hill is a licensed marriage and family therapist, sex therapist and a professor for the School of Family Life at Brigham Young University. She teaches marriage preparation, marriage enhancement and healthy sexuality in marriage courses. Jeff is also a professor at the same university teaching family finance courses. So naturally I asked them about how to talk to our kids about developing a healthy relationship with sexuality and money.

We talked about common stumbling blocks parents face when addressing these issues, advice for teaching young children, older children, teens and young adults about sex and money and concepts that are often overlooked. The goal for this episode is to help you feel empowered to be your children's best resource for information about topics that are hard to address.

We hope this will be helpful to those of you who are parents at any stage. Please do not hesitate to reach out with questions that come up for you as you listen to this interview.
