98 | Pleasure, Shame, + Purity Culture with Sex Educator Erica Smith Feb 18, 2020

Show notes

Erica Smith is a sexuality educator from Philadelphia who provides private sexuality education, consulting, and trainings on a variety of human sexuality topics. Erica developed the Purity Culture Dropout Program to help people learn all of the sex education that they missed growing up in purity culture- sex ed that is accurate, queer inclusive, trauma informed, and comprehensive. She received her Master of Education from Widener University's Center for Human Sexuality Studies.

In this episode we are exploring a lot of topics surrounding sexual health and (mis)education, and also the parallels between purity culture and diet culture and how this conditioning impacts how we see, treat, and engage with our own bodies.

91 | Check Your Goals: Are They Really Just Raging Self-Judgement? Dec 31, 2019

Show notes

The new year is here and goals are in the air.

While I always want you to dream big and live with intention and achieve the impossible, there’s a BIG difference between a deeply fulfilling process of moving towards something you desire, and chasing a destination that holds the promise of worthiness, validation, or fixing.

This episode gives you some some considerations to be able to sort between the pull of a healthy dream, from the punishing push of trying to escape from our current reality.
