So what was your reaction when you first saw it? Your immediate reaction?

The first reaction I thought was this is about someone who has kind of sensory difficulties around being hugged and just doesn't like that experience and wondering why that was coming from the rape crisis center rather than maybe something like As I Am or something.

that's going to be your front door that's going to be your entrance into actually being able to have and bridge this conversation of needs desires boundaries and limits on the flip side of this what if you get told no you get shut out you get so on and so forth that's where the spiritual practice of consent comes this person said no you now have to find a way to accept that no and fulfill that need in some other way that might be on your own, that might be with another person.

And I don't mean you have to go outside of the relationship, but this is often where service providers come in, where professional doms come in, where it's like you don't have to have a separate relationship, but you might still get this fulfilled or you find a way to go without that need being met.

I have a video that I just recently done called Consent as a Spiritual Practice.

I recommend checking out that video.

It'll explain those options in a lot more depth.

And now there's going to be layers that need to be done in order to repair with that individual and repair with the community.

Because now you've also lost trust with the community.

There is, I believe, a couple of courses from Consent Academy that have some really good resources about helping people find pathways back into community, specifically when consent violations or something have happened, when trust has been broken, when repair is needed.

It's also worth saying that this is pre-Ozempic.

Her diet book comes out in 2006.

It wants you to eat, by the way, 35 grams of fiber, which is way more than the 28 grams of fiber an American adult is recommended to eat every day.

But there's also, you know, it's a brand.

You can have a three bites of the chocolate.

Any indulgence?

I also am looking at the cover of the F Factor diet book.

And it's so mid 2000s where it's just like the cover is just an apple.

Oh, Paul, do you ever see something coming from your country and just watching from behind your fingers and going, what an embarrassment, really? Look, you know, from the get go, and this is the foundation and we have to say this, but we know this, of course, The group who released this, I'm sure it was well-meaning in some way.

That's the Dublin Rape Crisis Centre and they do great work helping sexual abuse survivors and victims.

Or if you have sons, you can worry that they could be accused of sexually assaulting a girl.

Today we're going to talk about consent and how it is more than just telling our daughters to say a clear yes or no.

We will talk about the do's and don'ts of consent and how to talk to our teens about it.

To address these issues, I have invited Christy Keating to be our guest.

Christy Keating is the founder and CEO of the Heartful Parent.

And then I spent a number of years prosecuting the most dangerous of our offenders.

And, you know, I learned a I think that the big overarching picture that I really want parents to grasp or to understand, which is something I saw sort of play out again and again, is that our kids do not know these things.

You know, they don't understand what consent means.
