Have you ever wondered about the stories and experiences that shape sex educators and what drives them to teach this subject? With our exceptional guest, Carlie Palmer-Webb, a Christian sex educator, we shed light on this subject in a candid conversation. Carlie walks us through her journey, stemming from a minimal sex education upbringing, and how it pushed her to become the educator she is today. We engage in heartfelt discussions about our own journeys of learning about sex and how a lack of comprehensive sex education has impacted us all in different ways.
Carlie brings an empowering perspective to sex education, focusing on the importance of teaching children about sexual health. She believes that knowledge is power and that young individuals should be equipped to handle the relationships they may encounter in the future. We touch on essential topics like consent, safe and unsafe touch, and even media safety. The key, according to Carlie, is creating a safe space for open discussions about sex. A space where questions aren't just tolerated, but encouraged, which leads us to question - what role does inclusivity play in all of this?
Christian education on sexual orientation and gender identity can be a complicated terrain to navigate. Carlie guides us in understanding these complexities, emphasizing empathy and the need for affirming, safe environments. We question the future of sex education, the need for public health education, and the long-lasting effects of shame on sexual relationships. Come join us on this enlightening exploration through the world of sex education, where we not just learn, but challenge our own understanding.
