Shame-Free Sex Talks to Have With Your Kids | Mary Flo Ridley & Megan Michelson

July 22, 2025

Are you a parent who feels overwhelmed or ill-equipped to talk about sex with your kids? You're not alone! In this episode, Mary Flo and Megan from Birds & Bees unpack how to have ongoing, age-appropriate conversations about sexuality, fostering trust and openness from an early age.


We tackle common parental fears and discomforts, especially for Christian families, providing practical steps to build confidence. Learn the "drip, drip, drip" method for normalizing discussions about body parts, boundaries, and sex starting as young as age one, which is crucial for protecting children from abuse. We discuss teaching anatomically correct terms and clear boundaries to empower kids to report violations.

Weekend to Remember

A getaway with a goal: oneness. No marriage is static. Each day, each choice — you’re either moving closer together, toward oneness … or coasting farther apart. At the intersection of a faith-based marriage conference and romantic retreat from everyday life, Weekend to Remember helps couples do just that — choose oneness. Whether you’re sending up an SOS for marital rescue or looking to foster an already flourishing connection, Weekend to Remember is your best next step toward being, and staying, one.
