If you’re not ready, then you won’t do it nor make time for it. 

Even when people know the “right” age to talk about certain topics with their kids, they still hold back because they’re not ready. 

How do you become ready?

It starts with addressing any lingering issues or emotions you might have about sexuality. Whether it's embarrassment, shame, guilt, uncertainty, or plain awkwardness, resolving these feelings is the first step. Once you're comfortable with the topic, the rest becomes much easier.

This readiness factor extends to your conversations with your partner, too. Open and honest discussions about your feelings can greatly enhance your connection.

Are you curious yet? I’m here to help you. Here are some resources to give you a kickstart:

Take the Sex Life Reset course

Use the Create Your Own User's Manual workbook
(This is the process I followed to attract my partner!)

Read The Definitive Guide to Dirty Talk: For Shy People

Use these Step-by-step Guides for "The Talk"

Try these Conversation Starters

Buy my book: READ ME: A Parental Primer for "The Talk"

Try this script to get the conversation started.

And remember, you're not alone if you want to begin this work. You can always book a call with me to discuss any questions or concerns you might have.

xxoo,
