Send us an email @ info@parentcoachesunleashed.com (https://www.buzzsprout.com/2345474/fa...) Summary Most parents wait too long to talk about consent, boundaries, and sexting—and by then, kids may already be navigating pressure alone. Tiffany Braxton turns one of the hardest conversations in parenting into something teens will actually pick up: a comic book that teaches self-advocacy, healthy boundaries, and what respectful relationships really look like. On this episode of Parent Coaches Unleashed, Jessica Anger and Carrie Wiesenfeld talk with Tiffany about how her own healing journey and teaching background led her to create Consent Comics, an illustrated nonfiction series designed to help kids recognize pressure, trust their instincts, and say no without shame. Tiffany shares why comics work so well for a scrolling generation, how she created Zay—a genderless character kids can see themselves in—and why the stories are intentionally written to feel real rather than preachy. You’ll discover: • Why Tiffany chose comics instead of a traditional consent book • How she created a character that invites every reader in • Three different story paths showing what happens when boundaries are crossed, respected, or repaired • How thought bubbles help kids name what they feel • Why apologies and meaningful repair matter • How Tiffany is working on a new comic about sextortion and digital safety • How parents can begin age-appropriate conversations about consent at home • Why children need to feel respected in order to feel safe speaking up This episode is essential listening for parents, caregivers, therapists, and anyone raising kids in a world where internet access can change everything. Tiffany’s work offers families a practical way to begin safer, more honest conversations about boundaries, relationships, online pressure, and self-advocacy. Tiffany Braxton is the author of Consent Comics, an illustrated nonfiction series that teaches consent, boundaries, and self-advocacy through relatable storytelling. She is also a survivor and educator whose work is helping kids, parents, and therapists start important conversations. https://consentcomics.com/ 🔗 Connect with Jessica Anger and Carrie Wiesenfeld: Instagram (  / parent_coaches_unleashed  ) | info@parentcoachesunleashed.com (mailto:info@parentcoachesunleashed.com) Soaring Hawk Life Coaching (https://www.soaringhawklifecoaching.com) |  Ocean Waves Parenting (https://www.oceanwavesparenting.com)
