112: Unpacking Purity Culture: Analyzing the Shame, Myths and Long Term Effects with Dr. Camden Oct 21, 2024

Welcome to the sex therapy talk you didn't know you needed! In this week's episode, Brittney and our guest Dr. Camden tackle the complex effects of purity culture, a movement that peaked in the 1990s-2000s and used shame and fear to promote abstinence until marriage. We explore the long-lasting consequences of this messaging on peoples' sexuality, faith, and relationships- and share our own stories. This episode underscores the importance of honest conversations about sexuality and encourages us to critically examine the messages we received and seek healing from the lingering effects of purity culture. Including:

The definition of purity culture vs a healthy personal sexual ethic
How effective abstinence pledges actually were according to research
The gendered impact of the purity culture message on women and men
Myths and misconceptions of purity culture that often lead to unrealistic expectations
The need for rebuilding a healthy mind-body connection and reclaiming sexuality as a natural and positive part of life.
and much more!

This is a conversation for all listeners whether single or married!

Dr. Camden is a licensed clinical psychologist with nearly fifteen years of experience as a therapist. She draws on both her personal and professional experience with purity culture recovery—using psychological research, practical exercises, and therapy case studies—to help the hurting reject toxic beliefs, understand trauma and its effects, and break free from shame.

083: Does Being “Culture-Blind” Actually Hurt or Help Us? Oct 09, 2023

Welcome back to the Speaking Our Minds Podcast with Brittney Moses and Ranela Kaligithi!

In this episode, we're talking all about being culturally competent humans. As we continue on the topic of how to be better humans in a polarized culture, part of un-polarizing things is seeing the fullness of other humans and ourselves, including all of the facets that make up who we are and thus shape the way we see the world which is gonna vary from person to person because of our different cultural upbringings.

Cultural Intersectionality
How ethnocentrism can lead to a superiority complex
The Doctrine of Discovery's Impact on Christianity vs. practicing a culturally sensitive faith in a diverse world
The layers of cultural influences that affect us and our mental health (microsystems, mesosystems, macrosystems)
The importance of cultural humility.

When we take down the walls of separation, allow people to have value for simply BEING, and celebrate people as they are — we are doing something so powerful for ourselves: we’re learning how to accept ourselves just as we are too.

082: The Psychology of Biases that Blind Us From Seeing Others Oct 02, 2023

Welcome to the NEW season of the Speaking Our Minds Podcast with our new co-host Ranela Kaligithi!

This episode is all about the psychology of biases- why they’re important, examples of common biases we fall into and how they effect us in real life and in the world at large. We're talking all about:

Biases as mental shortcuts that help us make quick sense of the world. They serve us in the way that they quickly simplify information processing but they can also leave blindspots.
How biases create walls of separation, “us vs. them” mentalities, or hinder us from truly knowing and accepting ourselves.
The psychology of Confirmation bias, Availability Bias, and Confidence Bias
The importance of approaching life and others with curiosity and understanding
Solutions for overcoming our natural biases

Biases are deeply rooted in our own framework of how we see the world because on our own way of thinking, experiences, upbringing, culture, etc. So because of this, we can all be biased in different ways when it comes to the information that we’re more likely to believe as true.

044: Single Motherhood, Divorce, & Holding onto Faith When Life Doesn’t Go As Planned with Toni Collier Feb 01, 2021

On today's episode, I’m so excited to share this honest conversation that I had with my good good friend Toni Collier on “When Life Doesn’t Go As Planned”. As women who have both walked through young single motherhood, divorce in the church, going back to school while working etc, we totally get what it feels like if you’ve had a “non-traditional” or non-linear path in life. And we wanted to take the time to dismantle any feelings of shame or failure that have tried to take hold of your story.

Because sometimes it’s the detours and most unexpected paths that take us to beautiful places we never would have imagined for ourselves. Because God can work ALL things together for good, amen?

I’d love to hear your thoughts on this so I invite you to share and follow along at the social links below!

Toni Collier is the Co-Lead Pastor of Hillsong Atlanta and founder of an international women’s ministry called Broken Crayons Still Color that helps women process through brokenness and get to hope. She is a speaker, host and consultant that has helped organizations with creative marketing, leadership, student ministry and strategic planning.

042: Signs of Spiritual Abuse & Beginning Recovery with Dr. Diane Langberg Jan 11, 2021

This week we’re discussing the dynamics of spiritual abuse,

how to notice the signs of when it’s happening,

how spiritual abuse can be subtle and confusing in the moment,

and why it’s vital that we can’t let these destructive characteristics slip under the rug no matter how much status or charisma a person may have because victims matter too.

Healthy communities are ruled by faith and support with allowance for autonomy versus fear, control and forms of gaslighting.

And we’re clarifying all of this today.

I’d love to hear your thoughts on this so I invite you to tune in and let us know your thoughts on social media!

Diane Langberg, Ph.D. is globally recognized for her 47 years of clinical work with trauma victims. She has trained caregivers and church leaders on six continents on how to recognize and respond to trauma and the abuse of power in a healing way. Her most recent book is Redeeming Power: Understanding Authority and Abuse in the Church (Brazos).

035: When Your Spouse is Struggling with Addiction: An Honest Conversation with Leah Grey Aug 17, 2020

This week I had an honest conversation with my friend Leah Grey about practical ways to cope and seek help when your loved one is struggling with an addiction.

I deeply appreciated her candor and vulnerability in sharing her own story that I think will resonate with those who have been in similar shoes or are simply wanting to better understand and grow in compassionate support of those around them who may be going through the same thing.

Leah Grey is a candid, faith-based writer who helps wives of addicts to set boundaries without screaming. In 2016, she was working as a hairstylist while her husband was in rehab for a substance addiction when she started a blog to see if there was anyone else out there like her. Four years later, her website now has over 130K readers, she’s won two prestigious national writing awards, and her blog was nominated for the David Mainse Best Blog of the Year Award. Leah teaches courses on how to set boundaries that align with the Word of God, facilitates an online support community, and recently completed her manuscript, No One Brings You a Casserole When Your Husband Goes to Rehab.

034: Where Faith Meets Suffering & Unexpected Loss with Jennie Lusko Jul 20, 2020

Today we’re talking about where faith meets suffering and unexpected loss with Jennie Lusko. Something that often seems juxtaposed to one another, but is right where God want to meet us even when we can’t see the other side.

We often think that if we have faith and do all the right things then bad things shouldn’t happen to us, but that’s not the reality of our human experience and we understand that no one is immune from the deepest of trials.

Jennie shares more on this and her story here, which is both daunting and insightful. She touches on the topic of suffering and what scripture says about unsurmountable grief & loss and holding onto faith through it all.

Jennie Lusko serves alongside her husband, Levi, leading Fresh Life Church in Montana, Utah, Oregon, and Wyoming, as well as across the world online. They have five children: Alivia, Daisy, Clover, Lennox, and Lenya, who is waiting for them in heaven. The Lusko family lives in Montana and enjoys bike rides, walks, lake days, late-night hot tub and cold plunge parties, movies, and family breakfast. Jennie loves spin and boxing, good food and sugary coffee, and wearing the same thing every day but also getting fashion advice from Levi. Jennie is also a hugger, so beware if you meet her.

026: Staying Mentally Grounded & Refreshed During Covid19 Apr 06, 2020

Lately I’ve been taking some steps back, reorienting myself to adjust to new changes, finding solitude and grounding within my own internal life, putting necessary online boundaries in place, looking at credible research and thinking critically about how to approach the many conversations taking place right now.

It’s overwhelming. There’s both a health crisis and a mental health crisis taking place. The anxiety of an unknown future rises. It holds hands with the depression of isolation. Our survival instincts have been heightened and we’re grieving a lost sense of normalcy.

It’s reasonable if you’re having a hard time mentally finding your grounding right now. We’ve been put in a position our generation has never been in before where we have to find adaptable ways to cope on a mass scale.

So what are some of the top tips mental health professionals are recommending during this time? Tune in...

014: A Medical Understanding of Mental Health & Illness with Dr. David Puder Nov 01, 2019

Today's episode covers some of the basic yet complex dynamics of what makes up the various factors of mental health and the signs of a more severe mental condition. In this conversation with psychiatrist Dr. David Puder we dive into a medical perspective, touching on topics such as severe depression, bipolar, medication, the power of empathy when supporting mental health in the church. Big takeaway: No one is beyond help or recovery when willing to do the healing work!

Dr. Puder went to U.C. Berkeley and majored in Molecular and Cellular Biology while competing on the Cal Rowing Team. After, he went to Loma Linda School of Medicine and subsequently spent a year doing internal medicine, then completed his psychiatry residency at Loma Linda. He joined the faculty of Loma Linda, where he is the medical director of a partial program and intensive outpatient program called “MEND” which supports patients and their families in maintaining or regaining emotional health and balance during the process of a significant medical illness or treatment. Dr. Puder is married with two children and spends most of his free time playing with them or cooking for them.

010: Surviving Suicide and Thriving Beyond a Diagnosis with T-Kea Blackman Sep 02, 2019

On Today’s episode I got to sit and have a conversation with my amazing friend TKea Blackman. T-Kea is a suicide survivor with a powerful testimony of recovery and redemption alongside faith and has been using her voice to advocate for mental health. She’s also the creator and host of the fireflies podcast, which is dedicated to bringing light into the darkness, much like fireflies. As you’ll soon hear, her story is truly a testament to living beyond a diagnosis, the possibilities of recovery and the ability to thrive despite a long standing battle with mental illness.

Whether you’re someone faced with a diagnosis or you’re wanting to better understand those around you who may be facing a mental crisis, you’ll want to listen to this whole conversation. Now I do want to give a disclaimer and warning that there is content surrounding suicidality that may be sensitive to some, so please listen at your discretion. However I believe this will be a resource that is far more powerful. Right now we just entered the month of September, which is actually World Suicide Prevention Month, and while I totally didn’t plan for this, I couldn’t think of a better time to share this conversation with you all.

Losing a loved one or being close to someone who has lost a loved one, is a devastating experience, to say the least. And yet, experiencing death is an inevitable encounter we all have either gone through or will go through at some point in this life- so it's important to build a mentally healthy culture around how we cope through such losses.

007: A Holistic Approach to Nutrition, Mental Health and the Gut-Brain Connection with Dr. Janelle Sinclair Feb 14, 2019

If you’ve been following me on Instagram or Facebook at all lately, you’ve noticed that I’ve started talking more about the connection between nutrition and mental health. When you think about the gut-brain connection even on a common sense level, it makes sense that…

What you eat fuels your body.

Your brain is an organ in sync with your body.

Therefore, what you eat fuels your brain.

Most recently in my studies I've wanted to better understand the chemical level of how what we eat translates in the brain and if there were tested and proven results that showed a difference in mental and emotional well-being based on the food choices people made. Since the brain is an organ that also undergoes a biochemical process, it brings into question how the quality of the food we put into our bodies could affect our brains and mental well-being.

So for todays episode I had the honor of chatting with Dr. Janelle Sinclair about a holistic approach to nutrition, mental health and the gut brain connection- something you guys have expressed wanting to hear more about as well. Dr Janelle Sinclair is a biochemist and registered natural medicine practitioner who specializes in the area of mental health. She is a wife, a mother of two, a Christ-follower, a crossfitter, a speaker and an author. Dr Janelle has worked in the natural medicine field for over 14 years, has a PhD in biochemistry from Basel, Switzerland, and has a Postgraduate certificate in mental health. She is a lover of learning and has completed numerous natural medicine and neurolinguistic programming courses, and is FitGenes certified.

006: Social Anxiety- When You're Obsessed with What People Think About You Jan 31, 2019

We're kicking off 2019 on the podcast with new guest conversations. Today, I invited two of my friends Kristina and Rachael to have an open discussion about the fears and pressures of social anxiety and how it can limit us not only in our calling but in everyday situations. We've all struggled with some level of anxiety when it comes to the vulnerability of showing up for our lives in some way. However for some it can be an incredibly disabling experience. If this resonates with everything you've been feeling, this episode is for you.

Books mentioned:

The Burden Is Light: Liberating Your Life from the Tyranny of Performance and Success

Daring Greatly: How the Courage to Be Vulnerable Transforms the Way We Live, Love, Parent, and Lead by Brené Brown

004: Codependency and Encouraging Real Change in a Toxic Relationship Apr 23, 2018

On today's podcast, we're talking about codependency and encouraging real change in a toxic relationship (not just romantic ones). Many times we believe that if we just do enough things and control enough settings around a person- we can make them change, but this is not how change usually works. This codependency keeps both parties trapped- usually getting nowhere. Some will only learn by experiencing the consequences of their actions (ourselves included) and ignoring or saving them from that every time only enables the cycle of toxic and destructive behaviors. This doesn’t mean we hold others or ourselves to standards of perfection or overnight change but proactivity and progress in the right direction. Tune into the recording for more...

003: Trauma, Fear and the Brain on Anxiety Sep 19, 2017

I'm pretty excited about today's episode as we talk through some of the effects of life trauma, it's roots in anxiety and how it emotionally hijacks our brains! I truly believe that understanding how your brain is operating in these moments will help bring awareness in how to respond in a healthy way to anxiety inducing situations in life.

002: Finding God's Purpose Through Depression Sep 01, 2017

I’ve gone toe to toe with depression and I fought my fight, but I can’t tell you what worked for me is going to work for you. We all have different backgrounds, genetics, physiologies and perspectives so everyone recovers in different ways and on different timetables. But I can tell you that with time, support and taking personal responsibility to get proactive about your recovery, there is another side to this thing.

So I want to share with you some perspective I hope will at least encourage you in the right direction when God’s purpose in your life seems completely non-existent.
