Episode Summary:
In this episode, I’m interviewing Naomi Hutchings, a clinical sexologist and relationship counselor currently working in Brisbane, Australia. Today, Naomi shares her journey and strong desire to improve what she had determined to be inadequate sexual health education and relationship curriculum in Australia while encouraging parents to start having no-shame conversations at home. If you are ready to open the channels of communication or you just simply cringe at the thought of having “the talk” with your kids, then this episode is for you!
