In this episode of Surviving Me, I talk about sex education — the kind many of us never received.

This conversation covers consent, communication, STD and STI education, testing, and body awareness in a way that’s honest, respectful, and free of shame. It’s not graphic or sensational — it’s about understanding your body, your boundaries, and your choices.

In this episode, we talk about:

1. What was missing from traditional sex education
2. Consent as ongoing, adjustable, and personal
3. STD and STI education without fear or judgment
4. Why testing is a normal part of sexual health
5. Asking questions and checking in with yourself
6. Listening to your body instead of pushing past discomfort

This episode is for anyone who grew up with limited or shame-based sex education and is now unlearning silence and misinformation.
