Episode Synopsis

Our favourite client and hardcore fan, Kerry, is back—and things get real. From learning about pap smears at the studio (yes, really) to opening up about growing up Asian in a culture where feelings and sex education weren’t openly discussed, this episode dives into the conversations we wish we’d had sooner.Kristy reflects on childhood confessions in the Roman Catholic church, and we all laugh about those unforgettable moments when kids trap their parents in the car to ask the big questions. Think: tampons, periods, and those infamous Beaver Canoe/Kettle Creek pencil cases that were never used for pencils.Also covered: retroverted and heart-shaped uteruses, 'Mean Girls'-style sex ed (“Don’t get pregnant or you’ll die”), and Kerry’s son Oscar, who inherited just enough redhead energy from his dad to keep things interesting.Trigger warning: Includes discussion of miscarriage, pregnancy, and ectopic pregnancy.
