Raising Confident Teens: Real Conversations About Sex, Safety & Self-Worth w/ Dr. Kela Henry EP 193

What if the best way to protect your teen isn’t a lecture, but a real conversation?

In this powerful and practical episode, family doctor Dr. Kela shares how parents can build honest, ongoing talks about sex, safety, and self-worth—without fear or awkwardness. Drawing on her experiences as a physician, author, and mom, Dr. Kela opens up about her own journey through burnout, caregiving, and rediscovering balance, and how that shaped her mission to help families raise confident, informed teens.

We dive into:

• How to replace lectures with connection and curiosity
• Why self-worth is the foundation for every healthy decision
• How to talk about consent, relationships, and online pressure
• What Dr. Kela learned from stepping back to protect her own wellbeing
• The inspiration behind her book Nia and the Numbers Game

If you care about raising teens who feel seen, safe, and strong, this episode will give you the tools—and the courage—to start the conversations that matter most.

What if discomfort is the doorway to your most honest work?
In this episode, Indigenous leader, artist, and entrepreneur Geraldine Carriere shares how she turns vulnerability into vision — transforming pain into art, and art into meaningful change.

We explore her journey from early lessons in grit to founding Wild Women, publishing her best-selling book, releasing a new EP, and pursuing an Indigenous Business Leadership MBA. Geraldine opens up about the creative risks behind her music, the courage to speak truth in uncomfortable spaces, and what it means to lead with both heart and responsibility.

Together we dive into her Wild Woman framework — Pride, Presence, and Productivity — and how decolonizing business begins with honoring people, place, and reciprocity.

If you’ve ever wondered how to bring your full self into your work, this conversation is a spark.

When long-term love starts to feel like hard work, it’s easy to point fingers. But what if your partner isn’t the problem—your communication is? In this episode, relationship strategist and licensed therapist Katie Rössler unpacks why couples drift into an “invisible divorce,” how respect erodes in micro-moments, and what it really takes to repair years of patterned disconnection.

We explore how to move from “I” goals to “we” goals, translate between different communication styles, and turn everyday friction into understanding. Katie shares practical tools for rebuilding trust, scripts for hard conversations, and the mindset shifts that make lasting love possible.

If you’ve been together a decade or more—or just want to speak your partner’s language again—this one’s for you.
