Even though this podcast seems to be about how to talk to young people about life’s tough subjects, it’s pertinent to communicating at any age about sexual activity and consent, racism, and straight-talk about difficult circumstances around death. The last portion of the episode interviews children about their intact felt-sense of grief and the healing that comes from processing verbally about their physical sensations.
