405- How To Make Puberty and Sex Talks Less Awkward with Dr. Cara Natterson and Vanessa Kroll Bennett (Rebroadcast)

Rebroadcast: You're listening to Voices of Your Village, and today I get to hang out with ⁠Dr. Cara Natterson and Vanessa Kroll Bennett⁠ to chat about how to make puberty and sex talks less awkward. Our editor, Kristin, for the podcast and Rach both were like, oh my gosh, this episode is gold. I love how approachable Cara and Vanessa are and how much they let me be me in this and share about how little I was spoken to about puberty and sex and how awkward it is now when my kids do things like ask if they can invite me to their penis party. Fear not, Dr. Cara Natterson is a pediatrician and New York Times best -selling author of 10 books including the Care and Keeping of You series and Vanessa Kroll Bennett is a best -selling author and puberty educator. Together, they're two of the most trusted voices on puberty, co -authoring the national bestseller, ⁠This Is So Awkward: Modern Puberty Explained⁠, and co -hosting ⁠This is So Awkward⁠, the podcast. Cara and Vanessa run ⁠Less Awkward⁠, the first company aimed at making puberty more comfortable with a membership for parents, an innovative health and sex ed curriculum for schools, and game -changing products. Cara and Vanessa speak to audiences across the country using science and humor to encourage open, albeit awkward, conversations. A relatable, reliable approach to help keep kids safe and healthy. They don't just hand out this advice, they live it. Between them, they are raising six teenagers. Y 'all, I'm so stoked for you to dive into this episode and to tune in to ⁠This is So Awkward⁠, the podcast, and snag their book, ⁠This Is So Awkward⁠.
