    Ivy Insights

    The Say What? podcast hosted by Hanna is an absolute gem in the world of podcasts. From the very first episode, I was hooked and grateful for Hanna's openness and relatability. Her friendly demeanor and willingness to share her own experiences make her a standout host. I was recommended this podcast by a friend and I would pass on that recommendation without hesitation.

    One of the best aspects of this podcast is how it brings about a sense of normalization and validation when it comes to sex, relationships, and other important topics. Hanna's content has helped me navigate my own feelings about these subjects, especially in relation to purity culture. She has been instrumental in helping me process the negative effects of purity culture and I am so grateful for her guidance.

    Another great aspect of The Say What? podcast is Hanna's ability to create a safe space for vulnerability. Her openness allows listeners to feel safe and understood, fostering a sense of community. Through her conversations, she tackles difficult topics with grace and authenticity, which is both refreshing and enlightening.

    While it's hard to find any drawbacks to this podcast, one possible downside could be that some listeners may not resonate with or connect as deeply with certain episodes or topics. However, this is purely subjective and does not take away from the overall quality and value of the podcast.

    In conclusion, The Say What? podcast is a must-listen for anyone who wants educational, authentic, and relatable content. Hanna's vulnerability and willingness to tackle difficult conversations make this podcast an invaluable resource for anyone navigating sex, relationships, or the effects of purity culture. This podcast provides a safe space where listeners can feel seen and understood while also learning from Hanna's wealth of knowledge. Don't miss out on this wonderful podcast!
