This week we are talking about sex! 

Join me for my enlightening conversation with Dr. Lori Reichel, a school health educator with 25+ years of working with children. She is a former National Health Education Professional of the Year and New York State Health Teacher of the Year and currently teaches full-time at the SUNY at Cortland. And if that wasn’t impressive enough, Lori is also the creator of the TALK Puberty app and a podcast titled "The Puberty Prof" to help equip parents and other caregivers to talk with children about puberty and other growing-up topics.

Lori shares with us that it’s not just about the mechanics of sex that we need to talk about, but we also need to discuss what a healthy relationship is, how to know, develop and sustain trust, and what love is.
