This week we welcome life coach, Emily Christensen, to discuss effective ways to start conversations with our children about pornography. We discuss the cycle of shame surrounding pornography and Emily says, “shame comes from not talking about it at all... When we keep things a secret, we increase the curiosity and allure factor.” We also discuss protecting our children's innocence. What actually destroys innocence is your child viewing pornography when they aren’t prepared because you haven’t talked about it and are weird about it. We discuss that in order to protect their innocence we have to get really comfortable with the uncomfortable and create space and safety in our home where any topic can be discussed.
Emily Christensen is a perfectly, imperfect wife and mother of three who believes in the power of family dinners and do-overs. Faith and family are her two greatest priorities. Emily was raised in an active Latter-day Saint home that was deeply impacted by pornography and is intimately aware of how pornography can affect individuals and families. Although professionally her background is in commercial real estate, personally her background is in supporting families (including her own) that have been impacted by pornography. For over 19 years she has been doing both.
Emily has presented to a variety of church groups, trained church leaders and presented at BYU Women’s Conference on topics related to pornography. In 2019 she became a Certified Life Coach through the Life Coach School. In her coaching practice she works with individuals and families impacted by pornography and also teaches parents how to prevent the compulsive use of pornography in children.
