Cringy Conversations Blog: Real Talk for Parents Raising Connected, Confident Kids.

I’m Claire. Wife, Mom of Two, Homestead Mama, and Sex Educator.

I’ve been teaching sex education to kids and tweens for over 15 years, and if I’m honest—my favorite part is the cringe. That awkward feeling we all remember from our own lackluster (or non-existent) sex ed? Yeah, that. It makes people squirm—but it also opens the door for real, important, transformational conversations.

Read along with me as I dive into deeply meaningful topics that all fall under the big, bold umbrella of "cringy." From puberty to relationships, communication to values, I’m here to help you take what feels uncomfortable and turn it into your greatest opportunity for connection.

Because our kids aren’t just absorbing info from the world—they’re also craving our guidance. Even if they don’t always ask for it, this is when they need us most. And when we show up with truth, time, and love, we create lasting influence and deep trust that carries them into adulthood.

If you're ready to take that next step and really strengthen how you listen and communicate with your child, I’ve created a free bundle just for you. It includes a short webinar video and a powerful parent guide designed to help you start meaningful conversations, build long-term connection, and step fully into your role as your child’s greatest support and teacher.

This is your moment. Let’s make these years count—for both of you.
