Today on the podcast, April and Danielle are joined by Sneha Sridhar, a sophomore Global Liberal Studies major and currently the Liberal Studies Student Council President. Sneha shares formative childhood anecdotes including the story of how a game of spin the bottle facilitated her first kiss and how her family helped her learn about boundaries and communication. She acknowledges that every interpersonal relationship, whether romantic, familial, or platonic, can create a learning opportunity for setting and receiving boundaries. April, Danielle, and Sneha uncover a number of oppressive messages that impact our sexual lives and relationships, including the myths around the rules of dating, when to talk about sex, and how old TV shows and movies continue to foster these harmful ideas.
