In this episode we interview the revolutionary Anne Hodder-Shipp about her latest book Speaking from the Heart: 18 Languages of Modern Love. We discuss why the classic book 5 Love Languages is both limiting and dismissive of many people's experiences, the diversity of love languages can how they can evolve, the 18 and growing love languages for the modern world, and how you can apply them to your life here and now.
Anne is also the founder of Everyone Deserves Sex Ed (EDSE) - a sex educator certification program we highly believe in. Anne shares about the current (not so great) state of sex education in the US, why she started EDSE, what makes EDSE different from other sex education trainings, and how anyone and everyone can become a sex educator.
