Hey friends! I'm back with another video diving deep into a tough topic. As someone who grew up in purity culture, I've seen firsthand the damaging effects it can have. In this chat, we unpack how purity culture connects spirituality and sexuality, the problematic gender roles it creates, higher rates of sexual dysfunction, and more. I share my own story and the stories of others recovering from purity culture's impacts. I know it can feel confusing and isolating, so I want you to know you're not alone. Stick around for tips on reclaiming your body and relationships after purity culture, including great online communities and IRL support groups. I even have a free quiz to find your post-purity culture personality type! Let me know in the comments - were you impacted by purity culture too? How are you healing today? Sending light and love your way.

In this episode, you will be able to:
* Understand the lasting impact of purity culture on your sexuality and relationships.
