I am really thrilled to have you here and to be introducing you to Sara Casper. I want to tell you a little story of how I met Sara. So many of you I think knew about or attended the Safe Parenting Summit back in February of this year and during that summit Sara reached out to me because she was an attendee and said hey you and I should talk and so we connected we've had some great conversations and it is my true pleasure to now host her on the Heartful Parent Podcast because like me Sara talks about consent. We you know do that in sort of different ways. She often works with kids, I don't, but she's got really awesome stuff to talk about and the story that she's going to tell today about how she got into this line of work is fabulous and caught me totally by surprise. It's totally unexpected. In addition to the fabulous story she's about to tell you though, Sara is as I said a consent educator and the name of her company that she founded is called Comprehensive Consent. She uses social emotional learning theory and practices and equips young people and their grown-ups with the knowledge and skills that they need to navigate body boundaries and create healthy relationships. After earning her BA in psychology at NYU, Sara began, can back that up, after earning her BA in psychology at NYU, Sara began her doctoral studies at Rutgers University on the path to becoming a clinical psychologist. Along the way she discovered her true passion and you're going to hear how she discovered that but it really led her to helping people overcome the barriers to practicing consent and effective communication and that's when she created Comprehensive Consent. Through her social media platforms, workshops, and curricula Sara has helped thousands of kids, adolescents, and adults deeply understand consent, improve their relationships, and become more prepared for the complexities of safe and ethical physical intimacy. This is a really fun conversation and I know you're going to get so much out of it. So without further ado, Sara. Okay listeners, I hope you loved that conversation as much as I do. You know, Sara and I both work in similar spaces but I love talking to other practitioners because we all approach it ever so slightly differently and when I hear, you know, someone like Sara share the way she thinks about it or teaches it, there's little light bulbs that go off in my own head even though I also work in the same space. So that was really fun for me. I hope you enjoyed it. In our show notes you can find all the different ways to reach out to Sara. She's got great content out there and we will definitely have her back on the podcast when her curricula is up for those 7 to 13 year olds that's coming in 2024. Until next week, have a fabulous week and happy parenting!
