Home Actress Elizabeth Smart HD Instagram Photos and Wallpapers March 2023 Elizabeth Smart Instagram - Do you remember when your toddler learned how to say "no?" Once mine did, there was a long season where everything became a “no,” “no-no-no,” or “nooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo!” It was exhausting because it seemed nothing could ever appease this little human, but looking back on it, I'm so glad that almost all kids go through a "no" stage. It sets them up for future boundary setting. Sadly, between toddlerhood and adulthood, many of us lose our ability to confidently say "no." Maybe because our no's were never respected, maybe we're scared of rejection, or we just don't want to deal with the conflict that will result if we say no. Whatever, the reason it's time to take back our toddler voice and unapologetically start saying no. No, I don't want to do that. No, I don't like that. No, I'm not interested in that. No, I've changed my mind. No. My Wholehearted Consent Course helps teens feel confident when saying No. I’m giving away 20 free enrollments to my Wholehearted Consent course. This course is perfect for the teenager in your life. !!!!Giveaway Closed!!!! To enter to win, go to the link in my bio and then click the course giveaway/newsletter sign-up link. Giveaway will be closed March 24 at 11:59 pm. Winners will be announced the following Monday. I’ll be rooting for you! 😉 --- 📷 Josh Withers . . . . . . . . . . . #consenteducation #consentmatters #sexualconsent

Elizabeth Smart Instagram – So why did I write a course on sexual consent? 

Honestly, because in my work, I’ve heard the following stories way too often. 

-One partner “love bombs” the other, overwhelming them with gifts, so the other partner feels obligated to do things they wouldn’t feel comfortable doing. Or, 

-A guy begs his girlfriend to have sex with them. After all the pleading, she finally gives in but feels awful about it. She cares for him deeply but wasn’t ready for that step. Or,

-A wife feels she must have sex with her husband whenever he demands, even if she feels sick, is busy with other tasks, has just had a baby, isn’t in the mood, or plain doesn’t want to.  Because if she doesn’t, he might lust over another woman, look at p*rn, or even have an affair.

None of these situations are examples of truly consensual relations. They are examples of coercion and manipulation used to get people to give sexual favors. It’s not okay. At best, in these situations, it’s bad romance; at worst, it’s nonconsensual sex. 

We are so familiar with examples of sexual abuse and sexual victimization that we see on Lifetime Movies or hear in True Crime podcasts that we forget that the scenarios listed above can ALSO examples of abuse and victimization. And unfortunately, they are waaaaayyyyy too common. 

So we need to talk about what consent looks like and how it applies to all relationship stages.

If you agree, leave a 💯 in the comments.

Elizabeth Smart Instagram – It seems like life somehow always makes it full circle. One of the first people I met after I was rescued was a man named Chris Thomas (@csthomas4 ) at the time I didn’t really understand the roll he played in my family while I was kidnapped, one of the most shocking parts of coming home was the vast amount of attention my story had received and continued to receive I quickly grew to trust Chris and came to look at him as a mentor, friend, and honestly a big brother. He was there the day I came home, he accompanied my family when we were generously offered a reprieve to Hawaii and were able to get away from everything, he helped me when I wrote my first book “My Story” and funnily enough he helped arrange everything for my wedding in Hawaii back in 2012, ultimately he has been a friend and present for almost every major milestone in my life. So as this Sunday marks 20 years since I’ve been rescued I’m happy to be able to help Chris share his story, “Unexpected.” It is now available on Amazon, audible, Barnes and Noble, Target, basically everywhere that sells books. 

PS I wrote the forward and it’s the best part 😆😉😁
