Guide to Sex Ed w/ Trish Hecker | Szn. 1 Ep. 15

Dr. Jenn interviews Trish Hecker from Open Door Support: a resource for whole-life sexual health education for parents, caregivers, educators, and healthcare providers.

• How to have the harder conversations regarding sex, consent, health

• Self-love and the relationship we have with ourselves 

• Body autonomy
