TW:  deconstruction, religious shame/trauma, sexual assault, sexual misconduct done by pastors, homophobia/racism/ableism/misogyny inflicted by the church, eating disorders + fasting + fatphobia, brief talk about cults This week we have my older sister, Manni (she/her), on the podcast to chat about our deconstruction and shared upbringing. We talk about everything from how Christianity can become toxic and discriminatory to what deconstruction actually means to how we've moved past bitterness. We also cover quite a few questions sent in from Tik Tok listeners about religion + deconstruction!This episode serves as a little bit of a follow up to my deconstruction journey in episode 5. I wanted to go more in depth about my personal journey and how I have grown and even changed some perspectives in the past year. Healing and growth involve a lot of change, and I want to be transparent about that.If you want to follow Manni or reach out to her, you can follow her on IG @mannibobanni. Manni is also selling some vintage items at a thrift event in the greater Seattle in November area and you can DM her for more info. The resources Manni mentions in the episode are:  “The Bible Tells Me So: Why Defending Scripture Has Made Us Unable to Read It” and “How the Bible Actually Works: In Which I Explain How An Ancient, Ambiguous, and Diverse Book Leads Us to Wisdom Rather Than Answers―and Why That's Great News” by Peter Enns. She also talks about how work by Richard Rohr has been helpful to her during her deconstruction & reconstruction journeys. Manni also mentions, “It Didn't Start With You” by Mark Wolynn as a trauma resource. If you are looking for additional deconstruction episodes, we have a list of deconstruction episodes at our IG (@serafinablog). “Girl Boner: The Good Girl's Guide to Sexual Empowerment” by August McLaughlin and any of August's other work.

In Pursuit Of Truth with Aideen T. Finnola Radio Show Conflicting and confusing information about sexuality? In our culture? Nooooo, really?!? Unfortunately, yes! You've heard about guy boners, but did you know that girl boners exist too? Yep, they're a thing . . . a real thing . . . Truth! If you grew up in North American culture (or just about any other culture across the globe), you probably didn't get the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth about sexuality! That was certainly the experience of August McLaughlin, host and creator of Girl Boner® and Girl Boner Radio and author of Girl Boner: The Good Girl's Guide to Sexual Empowerment. After having spent a lifetime in pursuit of sexual truth, August is an expert on all things sexual, especially Girl Boners!

In 2016, she was chosen to attend the United State of Women summit, convened by the White House, in Washington DC, as a nominated change maker, for her work in gender equality and women’s sexuality. As a speaker at Beverly Hill’s first TEDx Women event, in October 2016, she shared her story of surviving an eating disorder. (See her talk on the importance of self-embracement here.) Since recovering from anorexia and years of body dysmorphia, August has taught and mentored individuals with eating disorders and other psychological disorders on wellness and body image on an individual and group basis. She is the executive producer of Weight Limit—a body image-related PSA, and speaks professionally for a variety of audiences on body image, eating disorders and women’s sexuality.

Finnola ~  Aideen T. Finnola is an empowerment coach, author, speaker, and radio show host. She is an unapologetic and empowered survivor of and thriver after physical, emotional, psychological, and religious abuse. As she was raised in a religious cult for the first two decades of her life and was then unsuspectingly married to a closeted gay man for her life’s next two decades, she has a lot of experience with varying degrees and expressions of untruth. These experiences have fueled her pursuit of truth to the point of a full-on passion (some might say obsession). Aideen has learned that above all, untruth is both unworkable and painful. Coming from the perspective that life, time and space, and the human experience are all perfect and good, she knows that truth can only exist within ideas and experiences that are both workable and enjoyable. Aideen coaches her clients to find their own truth by investigating outside the conventional parameters of “should and shouldn’t,” “good and bad,” and “right and wrong.” She guides them instead to evaluate their experiences by questioning “Is this working for me?” and “Am I enjoying this?” Aideen empowers people all over the world through her coaching, her memoir, My Exquisite Purple Life, her speaking, and her radio show. Her unwavering message is to look for truth, guidance, and answers within, because it’s all there inside! https://www.aideentfinnola.com/     ~    https://www.facebook.com/aideentfinnola    To get more of In Pursuit Of Truth ~ Aideen T.
