On this month's episode of Not Your Mama's Sex Talk, Sydney and Becca walk you through the basics of how to talk to your child about sex, periods, consent, relationships, puberty, and more. This episode also features a discussion with special guest Catherine Betances from the Take Control Initiative (TCI) in which we answer audience questions. We would also like to thank LaTonya Scott from TCI for her help with research and topic ideas. This is the last episode of the first season of the Not Your Mama's Sex Talk podcast, we will be back later this year with a new cohort of Peer Health Educators and new topics about sexual and reproductive health. This podcast is a collaborative Peer Health Educator project with the Take Control Initiative in Tulsa, OK. For more information visit https://www.takecontrolinitiative.org/
