What happens when we're too uncomfortable to talk with girls about their bodies? Women's health nurse and sexologist Tarsh Wilson joins the podcast with a wake-up call for parents and anyone who loves a young girl growing up in today's hypersexual world.
The statistics are alarming - girls are experiencing their sexual debut as young as 13-14, yet many parents still believe these conversations can wait. Tarsh and Jordan explore why this approach leaves girls vulnerable to everything from preventable health conditions to dangerous sexual encounters. Through candid stories from Tarsh's gynecological practice and personal experiences, they break down why using proper terminology (it's vulva, not "flower"!), normalising period talk, and creating early "nests of safety" around these conversations isn't just good parenting - it could save lives.
Dark humour lightens this deeply important topic as they discuss everything from vulva puppets to the misconceptions about tampon sizes. Particularly compelling is their focus on fathers raising daughters, and how men often lack the resources to navigate these discussions despite desperately wanting to support their girls. This episode goes beyond awkward birds-and-bees talks to show how building honest communication from early childhood builds the foundation for healthier, safer young women.
Ready to raise girls who understand their bodies, recognise their autonomy, and have the language to advocate for themselves? This episode is your starting point. Share it with a parent, uncle, aunt or caregiver who wants to do better for the girls they love.
