Feeling Squirmy?

| | Comments (0)

I realize that asking you all to talk to each other during my lectures can be uncomfortable. You don't know these people particularly well, or maybe not at all. 

And I've asked you to talk about how YOU learned about sex! Ack!

With a stranger! Double ack!

Don't I know how uncomfortable it is for you to talk about sex - even with another grown-up? Aren't I aware that you are there to hear my words of wisdom not your own?

Yep. I'm aware of all that.

And guess what? If you go out on a limb, stretch your comfort level and engage in these conversations with folks who are outside of your usual circle of family and friends, you might learn a couple of things!

Like feeling uncomfortable, but pushing ahead anyway can be liberating - you can do this!

Or maybe learning you aren't alone in your discomfort with this topic - we all are to some degree - even me.

And talking about where you've been can free you up to make a new path to where you want to be.

I have you talk to each other about something personal so you can practice in a safe environment and take home a little confidence.

Feeling a little squirmy pays off - for you and your kids!
