It's time to talk about purity culture! Join Andrew and Laura as they begin a mini-series on all things purity culture. In today's episode we discuss the history of purity culture, our own experiences in it, the long term impacts it's had on their clients and some of the ways they work with clients when it comes to recovering from purity culture. This is the first episode in a 6-episode series where we will be discussing the impact of purity culture, some of the specific implications for individuals socialized male and female (since in purity culture there is a very rigid, binary gender concept) as well as talk to people about their lived experiences of healing from purity culture.  And, you won't want to miss today's vocabulary lesson where we ask…what is an Inner Child? Do we actually have a tiny child living within us?  Resources mentioned in the podcast episode:  Homecoming by John Bradshaw No Bad Parts by Richard C.

"You've now seen one, then you do one, and then after a year of being President, you get to teach one." Past President Miriam Patanian answers everything you always wanted to know about how UUMAN is governed but were (maybe!) afraid to ask. She also shares how she came to "find our tribe" here in Georgia, why she felt called to this three year tour of duty, and what it how it was to be "unchurched" as an adult, after some years of being "Christmas and Easter-type Catholics." And, of course, some thoughts on how her experience with the Our Whole Lives program shapes her vision of the future for what we call "sex education" in the public sphere. Were her kids' experience with GA Public Schools' attempts to educate about sexual health quite as cringeworthy-slash-ignorant as one might imagine? Sorry, no spoilers here, you'll have to listen to find out. Intro and outro background music by Tim Moor at Pixabay.

This week we hear from some of the women who've been making their mark in 2022. Danupha Khanatheerakul, known by her stage name Milli, is a 20-year-old Thai rapper. Last year she criticised the Thai government's response to COVID 19 and was charged with defamation, which led to the hashtag #SaveMilli trending on social media. She's been chosen as one of the BBC's 100 Women, which is a celebration of inspiring and influential women who've contributed to our world in incredible ways. Milli told the BBC's Valeria Perasso why she felt compelled to challenge Thai stereotypes and the government, and the impact of eating the Thai dessert of mango sticky rice onstage. The Taliban retook control of Afghanistan in 2021 and since their return many aspects of women's lives have been curtailed, including the ability to study. Music and the arts have also been banned across the country. To mark the first anniversary of the Taliban takeover, singer songwriter Elaha Soroor, along with other Afghan diaspora creatives, launched ‘Fly with Me,' a festival of music and kite flying that took place across Europe. In a conversation that was recorded before the Taliban ordered an indefinite ban on female higher education, Elaha spoke to the BBC Afghan journalist Sana Safi about the festival, and also about being a female singer in Afghanistan and her time on the TV talent show Afghan Star. The US poet Maggie Wang has won a number of awards this year including The Young Poets Network's Poems to Solve the Climate Crisis Challenge and Our Whole Lives, We Are Protest: A Poetry Challenge Inspired by the People of 1381. She's recently published her debut collection of poetry called The Sun on the Tip of a Snail's Shell. She told the BBC's Tina Daheley why she was drawn to creating poems highlighting the extinction of animals and plants. (Photo: Milli)

EPISODE 195 Interview with Ashley Robertson. Ashley Robertson identifies as a feminine, ethically non-monogamous, doll. With over a decade of experience in the BDSM scene, she isn't shy of perverse topics. She is a liberated educator who wishes to share with others the freedom of sexuality without shame. With three teaching degrees, she's fed up with the idea that learning comes from a constrictive set of standards. Instead, she assumes innate curiosity in all people and crafts workshops and activities that invite introspection. She's at her happiest when demonstrating consent with youngsters, guiding youth into comfort surrounding condoms, and answering questions about sexuality honestly. She facilitates her own version of the Our Whole Lives curriculum adapting the workshops to fit diverse audiences. This non-coercive, comprehensive approach to sex ed is what we all wished we had in high school. Learn more about her on her website and social media channels: Facebook, Facebook Group, and Instagram.

You don't have to talk about the clitoris when your education is only a “disease and pregnancy prevention plan” – Dr. Casperson 5 common mistakes adults make in talking to kids about sexuality 1) Not planning ahead 2) That it is more than sex and puberty a. 5 circles of sexuality i. Body image and appreciation, sensualization ii. Intimacy iii. Identity iv. Repro health – puberty changes, infection v. Sexualization – consent, how media portrays sexuality 3) One and done “the talks” – a lifelong conversation. 4) They have to get it right – don't expect to get it “right” 5) Inclusive language “most but not all” Consent – ideally an enthusiastic yes, not something that is coerced.

She's baaaack!! Minister Amy Johnson has returned to the Lady Preacher Podcast to help debunk some of the myths around comprehensive sexuality education. We dig into the claim that comprehensive sexuality education teaches kids to have sex or that it disregards values and morals. Amy debunks the myth that abstinence-only programs are the most effective and then talks about how parents and guardians truly are the first and primary teachers of sexuality education.My friends, especially if you are in a state that has comprehensive sexuality education on the ballot (looking at you, Washington state!), this is a great episode to listen to and share with your friends. Be informed! Know why this is an important issue for people of faith, and why so many faith leaders are in support of comprehensive sexuality education programs....Minister Amy Johnson, MSW, LICSW, CSE currently serves as the Our Whole Lives Coordinator for the United Church of Christ, where she also serves as the Minister for Sexuality Education and Justice. She is also both a national and international sexuality educator, author, and consultant, and a trainer for all levels of Our Whole Lives and Sexuality and Our Faith.

Have you ever felt like there are various parts of your self or your life that cannot be brought to church? That cannot be talked about or are just plain off-limits? In this life-giving interview, Minister Amy Johnson brings the fire, shedding light on how sexuality and our faith lives do not have to be seperate. Spoiler alert: sexuality does not just mean sex. It is our relationships, our senses, our communication. There are many ways in which sexuality, faith, and even justice intersect, and Minister Amy offers us a place to reflect on how churches can be places where we can come as our full selves; leaving nothing at the door. Her message: God loves you exactly as you are.From Kelsey: "Amy has been a life-time mentor for me. She is a life-giving voice of wisdom, love, and grace. Her work saves lives."Amy Johnson, MSW, LICSW, CSE currently serves as the Our Whole Lives Coordinator for the United Church of Christ.
