How to Talk to Your Kids About Sex with Cath Hakanson Jan 30, 2023

Show notes

In this episode, Cath Hakanson joins me to talk about a very important topic in today's parenting age: how to talk to your kids about sex.

Cath Hakanson helps parents learn how to talk to their kids about sex with less cringe, and more confidence, so they can empower their child to make smart sexual decisions. Cath is a qualified sexual health nurse, author, speaker and the founder of Sex Ed Rescue. After a nursing career in sexual health, she used to think that sex education would be easy, yet she found herself squirming when her daughter asked her questions about where babies came from.

She knew then that her kids needed her help to thrive in this sexualised world, so she spent every spare moment researching the topic and questioning friends with older kids. She drew on everything she had learnt from working as a sex therapist, a STI and Women's Health Nurse, an educator and researcher.

[3:55] When to start the conversation about sex and sexuality with your kids

How to Recover from Addiction with Mike Gibson Jan 02, 2023

Show notes

In this episode, Mike Gibson joins me on the podcast to talk about how to recover from drug and alcohol addiction.

We also touch on how to help our kids who may be struggling.

Mike Gibson earned a scholarship to Cal-Berkeley for football and played for two years before he got drafted by the Philadelphia Eagles in 2008. He played a total of 6 years in the NFL (Eagles, Seattle Seahawks, Arizona Cardinals).

In his third year, he suffered an injury and shortly after got addicted to prescription painkillers. He started at 5 mg of Vicodin and by the time he finished his career was taking a minimum of 300 mg of OxyContin daily.

After he retired, he became a sheriff's deputy, completing his credentials as class president, abusing OxyContin and adderall the entire duration. He was a deputy for under a year before getting asked to resign for his unhealthy habits. This setback turned him to becoming addicted to stronger substances such as heroin and meth. After going in and out of rehab 6 times, in his last session Mike made a breakthrough and has been sober for 5 years. He has worked in treatment centers as an addiction counselor for the entire 5 years he has been sober.
