Episode 188 : Sam

*This episode discusses topics that may be triggering to some including, purity culture, sex and sexuality. Please use descretion when listening.*
Sam reached out to me to add another level of understanding to the complicated topic of Purity Culture and how those teachings in our childhood affect us and our choices as adults. Our conversation leads us down a path filled with soapboxes, empowerment, and laughing through the trauma as we unpack the here and now.
