On today's episode of Let the Truth Talk, Tara & Tandia are speaking with Megan Jenniex who is a Success Coach with Right From The Start.   Our conversation goes though the importance of having early conversations with your kids about consent and boundaries.  We touch on why we should teach proper body anatomy, the power of giving kids choices and tips for parents/guardians who want to start these conversations.
