Emmalinda MacLean on Honest Sex Education and Empowering Youth

The number one best thing I want parents to know about your kid's health and safety when it comes to sex is: don't freak out.

What happens when you mix candid conversations about sex with a mission to foster healthy development? You get Emmalinda MacLean and her work with More Than Sex-Ed. In this episode of the Safe Home Podcast, Beth Syverson chats with Emmalinda, who co-founded this Los Angeles-based non-profit to promote open and inclusive discussions about sex.

Emmalinda's journey into sex education is fascinating, and she shares her insights on the importance of consent, the impact of social media, and the necessity of LGBTQ+ representation in sexual education. She also talks about her children's book, 'Everybody, Every Body!', which aims to teach kids about consent in a friendly and accessible way. This episode isn't just for parents and educators; it's for anyone interested in understanding how honest conversations can lead to healthier sexual development for young people.

So, if you're curious about how to support the teens in your life as they navigate their sexual identities, this episode is a must-listen.
