Mama, Take Heart
05/04/22 • 21 min
In this episode, Robrenna and Tiffany discuss:
- Why we put all the responsibility for purity AND blame for transgression on women
- “Just world mentality” and why it’s pervasive in purity culture
- Reimaging what consent could look like for boys and girls
- What kinds of conversations we need to have with both our little and pre-teen kids
- How we can coach our girls to say no with confidence
- Why we miss the point when we focus only on what girls are wearing

We all want our kids to have healthy relationships. Not just romantic relationships later in life, but healthy relationships with their siblings, their peers and friends, and with us. So what does it look like to create an home environment where our daughters learn what healthy relationships look like, and how to foster and keep their healthy relationships throughout their lives.
Today, I'm joined by Jillian Miles, a mental health practitioner and therapist who specializes in working with youth, adolescents, and adults experiencing depression, anxiety, mood regulation, and/or trauma concerns. In this episode, we discuss:
1. A holistic look at relationships for our daughters – not just their romantic relationships but their relationships with siblings, friends, family, and peers.
2. Why respect is key for our daughters developing healthy relationship boundaries.
3. How to communicate with our girls when they get to an age when they don’t necessarily want to tell you about everything in their lives.
4. Common trust issues and how to think about them.

Talking to Your Gen-Z Girl about Sex and Relationships
Mama, Take Heart
04/07/21 • 28 min
When should we start talking to our girls about sex? Jackie Brewton (author, youth speaker, teen relationship expert and the founder and CEO of MotivationN3D) says this: “The misnomer is that the conversation needs to be a ‘sex talk.’ I think you need to talk about sex, but I think the bigger conversation needs to be about healthy relationships.”
In this episode, Jackie and Robrenna talk about:
- What age-appropriate conversations about sex and relationships can look like.
- Why you can’t wait until your daughter’s first relationship to start talking about dating and sex.
- The trend of n*de pictures and what parents need to know.
- Why you need to be careful about how you talk about other girls in your daughter’s life who make poor choices.
- The difference between how guys and girls view sex and why it matters
