    Biological Femininity, Deconstruction, and Purity Culture

    In this episode I talk with Martine De Luna of @femininewomanhood about her journey of deconstruction and how it gets a bad rap, how purity culture doesn't uphold the truth of the Christian view of the human person, and how embracing your femininity is actually about unlearning rather than taking on characteristics. With a deep love for God, the Church, and womanhood, Martine is a master at holding nuance and truth together. This episode brings in some incredible practical elements for integrating your beliefs and healing your relationship to womanhood.

    Masculinity/Femininity in LOTR, Bill Donaghy

    In this episode, I discuss with Bill Donaghy, Senior Lecturer at the Theology of the Body Institute, the power of storytelling and masculinity and femininity in Tolkien's "The Lord of the Rings". We talk about how storytelling helps us make sense of the world we find ourselves in and how it was key to my own conversion. We also discuss brotherhood, "storge" the greek word for love of a shared mission and how that calls to men, Eowyn's journey of femininity and how I see myself in her journey, and the way she grows into her femininity, becoming a "Timeless Woman". I feel like we definitely need a part 2!
