What if the sex talk didn't have to be...
Sex ed needs a makeover.
Remember "the talk?" Maybe your parent sat you down and talked about sex (and you both wanted to die inside) or perhaps your sex ed was in a stuffy gymnasium with a bunch of irreverent teenagers cracking jokes. Chances are you walked away with no real valuable information about your body and the gift of fertility.
I hate to break it to you - but it's even worse now.
Between defaulting to condoms and birth control to conversations about gender and sexual orientation, the sex ed provided in most schools not only isn't helpful - it can actually be harmful to our children's souls.
The "more than sex ed" program Catholic parents actually want:
Teaches the actual biological facts of anatomy and sexual reproduction without being tainted by political or social agendas
Honors their family values and Catholic moral teaching - and actually explains those teachings in a way that makes sense
Encourages parental participation to promote further conversation on these topics
A delicate balance


The video course for Catholic teens to learn about anatomy and sexual reproduction in light of Church teaching

Imagine your teen:
Actually knowing the different parts of their anatomy and how they work together
Grounding their understanding of fertility in a place of positivity and respect for the unique purpose of each gender
Understanding what the Church actually teaches about sex and marriage and why
Having confidence in their body and God's purpose for it

Should we really be teaching them about fertility now?
I get it: You're worried that once they know about fertility, it will remove a reason to abstain before marriage.
So first, while I do introduce NFP, I do not teach them how to identify fertile and infertile windows. And I ground all of this in Church morality, in a way that gets them to engage and actually think about these concepts for themselves.
But also: If you don't teach them, the world will.
Plus, the information I teach can also be vital for identifying health problems early, instead of forcing our teens to suffer for years until they're trying to conceive to receive these answers.

Foundations for Conversation
Six short videos (6-10 minutes each) to get the conversation started on anatomy and Catholic moral teaching

Video 1
MALE & FEMALE ANATOMY
6 minutes
What's actually going on in there? I break down male and female anatomy and what each organ does (but don't worry - images give detail, but aren't explicit!).

Video 2
THE MENSTRUAL CYCLE
10 minutes
Did you know that the most important event of the menstrual cycle isn't a period? It's ovulation. I give an overview of the whole menstrual cycle to show how male and female anatomy work together for fertility.

Video 3
REPRODUCTION & FERTILITY
8 minutes
In this video, I straight-forwardly and scientifically explain the process of sexual reproduction in humans (no awkwardness!) and the natural times of fertility and infertility couples experience each cycle based on the woman's fertile window.

Video 4
THE LANGUAGE OF THE BODY
8 minutes
I throw it back to our beloved JPII here as we begin the connection to our faith: Our bodies, as created by God, are a way in which He communicates the truth about who we are. And this truth is further communicated within the marital act.

Video 5
BODY LITERACY
8 minutes
Once we know that our bodies are speaking to us, we need to learn how to translate it. In this crash course on body literacy, I give an overview of the daily changes men may observe because of testosterone and changes a woman might observe throughout a cycle (now considered a vital sign of health for girls).

Video 6
CHURCH TEACHING
8 minutes
Combining everything we've already covered, I conclude with Catholic moral teaching on family planning, with an emphasis on how Natural Family Planning allows us to speak the Truth with our bodies and respects the natural periods of fertility and infertility in a couples' cycle.
Plus, you get lifetime access, which means you can revisit any time for a refresher or watch again as your other children become teens!

Got Questions?
I'll teach your teens
what the world won't tell them:
That their bodies are incredible, designed by God for a purpose
That they are worthy of knowing the actual facts about how their bodies work
That the Church's guidelines around sex and marriage are actually in their best interest
And best of all, I do it in a way that respects and involves your voice in the conversation.
Catholic sex ed
that will actually educate their minds and souls.
