Ep. 30 | Sara’s Story (Part 2): The Beginning of the End
⚠️ Content Note
Content Note:
This episode includes discussion of family dynamics, emotional harm, and experiences within a high-control religious environment. Listener discretion is advised.
This is Part 2 of my story.
And it’s the most personal I’ve shared so far.
Christy wasn’t able to join me for this one, so it’s just me — walking through the parts of my story that are harder to say out loud.
The pieces that involve family.
The dynamics that shaped how I saw myself.
And the moments that made it clear something deeper wasn’t right.
This isn’t about tearing anyone down.
It’s about telling the truth of my experience in a way I couldn’t before.
For a long time, I’ve been aware that there have been assumptions made about what I’ve said or haven’t said.
So this is me speaking for myself, in my own words.
If you’ve ever wrestled with how to hold your story when it involves people you love… you’re not alone.

Ep. 28 | Just Catching up
This week is a little different.
No big topic.
No deep dive.
No structured conversation.
Just two friends catching up after life… really life’d.
We talk about what the past week has looked like — the unexpected, the exhausting, and everything in between — and let the conversation go wherever it wanted to go.
Sometimes healing doesn’t look like processing.
Sometimes it looks like showing up, laughing a little, and just being human together.
If you need something low key this week, this episode is that.

Ep. 27 | Purity Culture & Stolen Identity (Part 3): What We Were Taught About Desire
⚠️ Content Warning
Content Warning:
This episode includes discussion of purity culture, sexual shame and coercion, and harmful teachings about desire. Listener discretion is advised.
In Part 3 of our Purity Culture & Stolen Identity series, we talk about desire.
What were we actually taught about it?
Who was “allowed” to have it?
And was it ever really about holiness… or control?
We get into:
• Whether desire was framed differently for men vs women
• The confusion and shame around attraction
• How fear got tangled up with something completely human
• And how those messages shaped the way we understood ourselves
And yes… we share a story from a dorm meeting that turned into a full-blown purity culture talk that was as wild as it was revealing.
Sometimes you have to laugh at what you were taught… just to see it clearly.
This episode holds both — the humor and the weight of what those messages actually did to us.
