Things We Didn’t Talk About Growing Up (Part 2): Sex & Dating


Listen Later

In this episode, the Braga sisters pick up where we left off—this time diving into the really hush-hush stuff from our childhoods: sex ed, puberty, dating, and using the right names for body parts. 

We talk about awkward school sex-ed memories (hello, “Know Your Body”), the American Girl puberty books, and what it looks like to have age-appropriate conversations with kids today. 

We also get into dating under strict household rules, why secrecy breeds better liars (not safer kids), and how we’re approaching honest conversations about birth control, protection, and internet safety with the next generation.
