This hour, we talk about how experiences coming of age impact us into adulthood. Melissa Febos, author of the bestselling memoir Girlhood, joins us.

She writes about what she learned about herself, including how we begin to understand consent and how this impacts our long-term relationships.

And later, what should parents and educators consider when teaching about consent?
