From mental health issues to paid maternity leave, money matters to building a business, we are laser-focused on the modern mama who finds a way to balance it all but shouldn’t have to. At freemom, we pick the brains of authors, journalists, scientists, therapists, business owners, and politicians who want to create better opportunities for our generation as well as the next one. Best of all is that we are bringing these seriously brilliant and inspirational women right into your ears in easy 30-minute episodes that you can listen to during your daily commute or stroller stroll. Strap yourself in mama because this is going to be a ride.

Talking To Your Kids About Pornography
Today we’re diving headfirst into one of the most uncomfortable but critical conversations we can have as parents: talking to our kids about pornography.
With the average age of first exposure now as young as 9 years old, this isn’t a “wait until they’re older” kind of chat anymore. This is a right-now conversation. And let’s be real—if we’re not the ones talking to our kids about it, someone else (or something else) already is.
Our guest today, Jessica Vanderberg, is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker and the co-founder of The Alliance Center. Jessica is a mom of three and works with women in every stage of their parenting journey. She’s here to help us navigate how to talk about pornography, when to start, and what to actually say—without shame, panic, or awkward silence.
