Why the hell are we so afraid of our own damn feelings? Turns out the frightening, painful work of facing ourselves is the self-compassion we need in the age of COVID-19.

Self-Compassion in the Age of COVID-19

Sex Ed Before Bed explores powerful and meaningful topics that often go undiscussed in our
daily lives. In bringing these conversations into the open, my intention is that collectively, we can
approach them with less shame and more compassion, giving them the nuance that they often
require.

As part of a small cadre of Canadian podcasts focused on this topic, with over 8,000 listeners,
Sex Ed Before Bed’s growing fan base signals a rising interest in sexual health and politics.
Since 2017, guests have included experts and folks with lived experience, including sex
workers, 2SLGBTQIA+ folks, researchers, educators, psychotherapists, physicians and
program facilitators.

Sex-positivity, anti-oppression frameworks inform the podcast and the tone is one of humility
and curiosity. I aim to bring what I have learned and my experiences to the mic and understand
that sexual health education is a lifelong learning experience for me, and for all of us. I don’t
have all the answers and I see myself as “along for the ride” with the listener, grateful for the
stories, wisdom and insight of my wonderful guests.

What I want to give listeners through this experience:
● To have more informed, joyful, liberating sexual experiences
● To see a topic or marginalized group in a new light
● To unlearn harmful stereotypes and cultivate more empathy
● To be aware of timely sex-related Canadian research and news
