Description

What happens when sex education leaves out the very thing that makes us human—our emotions? And how does that shape our sense of self, intimacy, and confidence?

In this episode of The Sensitive Professionals Podcast, I’m joined by Emma Ahlert, content strategist, community builder and founder of Elsie, to explore how sensitivity and sex ed collide—and what we can do about it.

Together, we dive into:

• The emotional gaps in traditional sex education
• How shame thrives in silence and how we interrupt it
• What it means to ‘have your own back’ as a sensitive person
• Intimacy, identity and feeling “outside the club”
• Rewriting our emotional playbook as adults

This is one for you if you’ve ever questioned your emotional response to intimacy or felt like you were the only one navigating sex and sensitivity.
