Let's talk about consent. When did you first hear of this word, in what context? For us and our guest Justine, we saw it on college campus flyers: "Consent is SEXY." But as Justine points out, consent has always been present and necessary, whether we explicitly state it or not. Join us for part 1 of our conversation with Justine as we walk down memory lane, noting examples of consent (or lack of consent) that existed in our romantic relationships (where consent is most often mentioned), classrooms, and families.
Stay tuned for part 2 where we talk about how we navigate consent and setting boundaries in the present day (with regards to podcasting, professional relationships, and more)!
