📣 Happening June 26! Join the 3-Day Sprint to get the sex talk done in one weekend – just 15 mins a day, and I’ll be right there to hold your hand through it.
It happened in the car.
Your 8-year-old looked up from their apple slices and asked,
“But how does the baby get in the tummy?”
Your brain froze. Your mouth opened.
And somehow, you mumbled something about a special hug and changed the subject.
If that sounds familiar, you’re not alone. Explaining sex is one of those parenting milestones that no one really prepares you for.
But you can have this conversation without fumbling or freaking out.

❓What exactly happens during the Sprint?
Each day, you’ll get a short video (around 5–10 minutes) with one small, doable task:

No stress – you can catch up anytime. The Sprint is designed to be flexible, so you can move at your own pace. All the materials will still be there when you’re ready.
❓How much time does it take each day?
Just 15 minutes a day. The goal is to make this as simple and manageable as possible – even if life’s a bit hectic.
❓What support do I get after the Sprint?
You’ll get:
- A Sunday reassurance email (in case the conversation didn’t go as planned)
- A Monday check-in to keep the momentum going
- A Wednesday live Q&A call with Cath to answer your questions
- A 1-week follow-up email to help you keep the door open for future chats
❓Do I need to do the Crash Course before the Sprint starts?
Not necessarily. If you can watch the video lessons first – great! But if not, you can follow the Sprint steps and watch the course in chunks across the three days.
❓ How long is this 3-Day Sprint available?
It’s a limited-time offer! Once the promotion ends (26 June), the 3-Day Sprint won’t be included - so it’s best to grab it now if you’re interested.

Let customers speak for us
from 61 reviewsGreat information and specially, great explanation, thanks for walking with us in every step
Insighful and soooo helpful
This helped me so much when talking to my 6 year old who had lots of questions about how "babies get into a belly". This guide gives many different ways to speak about sex depending on your familes views and values. It gives you a way to speak about as many or as few details as you are comfortable with or that you think your kid is ready for. I appreciate how well written and thought out this was. I'll be using it in the future for more open talks with my children.
As a practitioner working in this space, coming across this course for free and being able to share it with parents and staff, was just the cherry on top of visiting Cath's website. Thankyou for your accessible, compassionate and colourful approach!
My daughter is 6 years old. Masturbation is a delicate subject and it is not easy to talk about it with friends or family, even with the doctor, because masturbation in young children triggers alarms and they think there may be abuse. So I thank you for this course, so well explained. My mother tongue is not English, but this course explains things clearly, in a simple and practical way, with tips and resources. With this course I understood that masturbation in young children is not so rare, I learnt how to deal with it and I felt understood and relieved knowing that there are more parents worried about this. Again, thank you.
after a small incident with my 2 & 4 yr old, I purchased this course to learn how to approach teaching my kids about consent and to better understand what I should actually be concerned about. After this course, I purchased a few books that were recommended and will be having regular discussions with both my kids about body curiosity
This is such essential reading, even if you do not think this is an issue for your kids in the moment, because it normalizes behaviors that to the untrained may seem problematic!
I was putting off the porn chat as I was worried about how I'd answer any questions! But now I don't have to, as it's in this book!
I've got a kid who is starting to ask lots of questions. This has been a lifesaver, as it's allowed me to answer their questions. But more importantly, it's shown me how to talk about these things in a way they understand
My kids are super curious about where babies come from, so I grabbed this to help me explain. The illustrations at the back are great, as I they helped me to explain. and answer their questions. Thank you!!!!!!!
I recently purchased the getting started with sex ed course and was pleasantly surprised to find that instead of doing a big awkward talk like I feared, I’d already been doing a lot of the little conversations about bodies, feelings, consent etc with my kids. I liked how she broke the details into specific age/stages. Highly recommend!
Was very helpfull to oriented my daugther
What a great resource!
A great break down and understanding of sexual behaviors, both worrisome and age appropriate, by age. A great resource for someone who works with children and teens
Heaps of advice I'd never even thought about, super helpful!
