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 newsCopyright 2017 All rights reserved.

  • Rewrite Your Future: A Rape Prevention Program That's Working

    Rewrite Your Future: A Rape Prevention Program That's Working
    Jan 27 2021

    1 in 5 university-enrolled women will experience attempted or completed rape. Rape is one of the most underreported crimes - 10% are reported.

    A world without rape. A world where sexual violence is rare. This is the goal of Sara's work on Flip the Script, a new Canadian sexual assault prevention program for young cis and trans women to assess, acknowledge and act. This episode is a must-listen for every parent and every young woman.

    We talked about how the program works and the positive impact it has had so far. We talked about how young women want to have these conversations about setting boundaries, understanding coercion and pondering what pleasure looks like for them.

    We also talked about radical self-love and for women, trusting our gut!
