Rachel Bilson Provides Gurantee into Co-parenting Dynamic with Hayden Christensen
Having a mother named Janice who is a sex therapist has always made Bilson comfortable with conversations that others may find uncomfortable.
In an interview with Yahoo! Life’s The Unwind series in July, she shared, “Growing up in a household that was so sex-positive and free and candid…definitely made me more obviously open talking about things.” Bilson emphasized that discussing women’s experiences should not be taboo and that there is nothing wrong with talking openly about them.
That’s why, in 2022, Bilson launched the Broad Ideas podcast with her best friend of 25 years, Olivia Allen. On the podcast, they invite guests to discuss various topics without filters or fake niceties, such as sex, infidelity, and mental health.
Bilson expressed to E! News that she feels free and authentic on the podcast, aiming to create a “safe space” for women to share their experiences, akin to a weekly hangout with supportive friends who do not judge each other.
She explained, “It’s just having these soul sisters that you can go through everything with that have been there through everything and will never judge you. It just felt like my best friends and I are always having these conversations, why not make that the norm?”
