<p dir="ltr">In today’s episode Ashley and I talk about how the church’s latest teachings of not talking to those who “attack the truth” and “don’t question your testimony.”<br /> <br /> They have deemed it “thinking Celestial” and it is the path to playing the long game of life and attaining what you desire in the afterlife.<br /> <br /> Whether you find peace within the church, are questioning it, or are ready to run for the hills, this episode will help you decipher what truly feels good to you and just because you choose differently than the church, it doesn’t mean the devil has taken you over.<br /> <br /> The exact opposite has been true for both Ashley and I and we offer you a way of evaluating your own life, how the church makes you feel about yourself, and your mental state so that you can make a decision based on YOUR truth.<br /> <br /> <strong>Find Ashley here: </strong></p> <p dir="ltr">Website: <a href= "https://www.ashleybucknerlmft.com/">https://www.ashleybucknerlmft.com/</a> </p> <p dir="ltr">Insta: <a href= "https://www.instagram.com/ashleybucknerlmft/">https://www.instagram.com/ashleybucknerlmft/</a> </p> <p dir="ltr"><br /> <strong>Find Amanda Here: </strong></p> <p dir="ltr">Insta: <a href= "https://www.instagram.com/amandaclarkstudios">https://www.instagram.com/amandaclarkstudios</a> </p> <p dir="ltr">Website: <a href= "https://www.amandaclark.biz/">https://www.amandaclark.biz</a> </p> <p dir="ltr">Free Breathwork Session: <a href= "https://thebreathworkmethod.as.me/free-integrative">https://TheBreathworkMethod.as.me/free-integrative</a> </p> <p><strong><br /> <br /></strong></p> <p dir="ltr"><br /> <br /></p> <p> </p>

<p dir="ltr">Oof, today we are diving into another off-limit topic…. Sex yet again! Today Ashley and I open up about the trauma that having sex when you are not ready causes.<br /> <br /> In the LDS religion you are taught to save yourself for your wedding night with your husband, but the church also teaches that no self-exploration, intimacy with someone else, or sexual thoughts should be entertained beforehand which leads to a lot of fear on some bride’s wedding nights.<br /> <br /> Although Ashley and I didn’t have the experience of not having sex before marriage, we share our experience with it in our relationships as well as things that have been shared by others.<br /> <br /> If there is one thing we want you to take away from this episode, it’s that open communication around it is key and if you can’t have this conversation with your soon to be partner…. Perhaps it’s time to open that up and we are letting you know how!</p> <p><strong> </strong></p> <p dir="ltr"><strong>Find Ashley here: </strong></p> <p dir="ltr">Website: <a href= "https://www.ashleybucknerlmft.com/">https://www.ashleybucknerlmft.com/</a> </p> <p dir="ltr">Insta: <a href= "https://www.instagram.com/ashleybucknerlmft/">https://www.instagram.com/ashleybucknerlmft/</a> </p> <p dir="ltr"><br /> <strong>Find Amanda Here: </strong></p> <p dir="ltr">Insta: <a href= "https://www.instagram.com/amandaclarkstudios">https://www.instagram.com/amandaclarkstudios</a> </p> <p dir="ltr">Website: <a href= "https://www.amandaclark.biz/">https://www.amandaclark.biz</a> </p> <p dir="ltr">Free Breathwork Session: <a href= "https://thebreathworkmethod.as.me/free-integrative">https://TheBreathworkMethod.as.me/free-integrative</a> </p> <p><strong id= "docs-internal-guid-99327bd6-7fff-81e0-68e2-de24285b4f1e"><br /> <br /></strong></p>
