In this episode we take a look at what's normal and how it can become a dangerous trap to slip into. 

Human beings have a natural instinct to fit in, and if we aren't mindful about the influence of our environment, we can end up fitting into something that isn't even good for us. 

This affects parents and children alike. Here we take a look at the culture in this world, specifically around sex, and how that may be influencing us as parents as well as our children. 

There are a lot of norms to break. So let's exemplify a true culture for our kids, support them in the challenges in standing up for their true selves, and let's build a community and culture that lifts each other up to an enriching standard, rather than a destructive one.
