    The Gift of Soft

    Remember last week when I told you we were preparing for a potential hurricane hit over the weekend? Well, there wasn’t anything potential about it. The rain wasn’t an issue, but the winds really got us (thanks to a rare weather phenomenon known as a sting jet), and there were pockets of extreme devastation across our community. There were several scary hours when the sustained winds wreaked havoc on so many oaks in the area. Our home was untouched; but so many homes, schools, and businesses were damaged by falling trees and limbs and high winds. We were without power for four nights (absolute peanuts compared to some), and schools are closed all week. Funnily enough, the podcast I had planned to record and release this week is all about limits — so, how perfectly fitting that I am leaning into my limits this week and saving that one for next. The word soft (and the truth of what a gift it is) popped up in a book I started reading and a Substack post that came across my desk — both yesterday. It made me think of this sweet revelation from Psalm 37 that encouraged my heart in ways I desperately needed a couple years ago. Y’all, I listened to this recording and sat speechless — this may have been recorded two years ago, but it is absolutely for you today. I cannot get over how full circle it is to where I’m at right now, and I know it will meet you right where you are. This is a public episode.

    Intended Design // Intimacy & Pleasure

    This post has been sitting in my Drafts folder for more than two years. I’m equal parts excited and anxious to dip my toe in this pool, but you know what?! We are about FREEDOM around these parts. (And around all the parts, if you catch my drift?!) BUT FIRST! Some TAJOR Housekeeping. (TAJOR = The Asha June, Oh! Report; do we like the abbreviation??) I’m excited to announce that book number TWO is in the works! And I’m taking the summer to write my fingers off. Which means a break from new posts and pods here. (But there is a whole archive to dig through if you’re looking for a weekly dose of wonder, connection, and hope!) I hope your summer is full of rest and fun and afternoon naps and belly laughs. Now back to our regularly scheduled programming… Like every topic in our Intended Design series, this is such a huge conversation — with so much history and so many layers. So today, I’m simply sharing my story with you — one perspective, one peak behind the curtain, of this vast and important issue. This is my journey into shame and my journey out of it and into freedom. First, go listen to me fumble and ramble my way through this sensitive subject. Second, come back here and work your way through what I think are the top 10 podcasts from Francie’s collection. (But I have no doubt that once you devour these, you’ll be hungry for all of them.) * Episode 236 - A Fresh Chapter: Female by Design * Episode 186 - Called to Pleasure: Rest, Arousal, Sensuality and Female Design * Episode 164 - From Purity Culture to Pure Pleasure * Episode 92 - Pleasure series part 1 * Episode 93 - Pleasure series part 2 * Episode 94 - Pleasure series part 3 * Episode 95 - Pleasure series part 4 * Episode 167 - Reframe Conversation: Masturbation * Episode 111 - Your wonderful female body: Orgasm part 1 * Episode 113 - Your wonderful female body: Orgasm part 2 ps. This conversation is just getting started! There is a stirring in my heart to do some sort of deep dive Bible study in collaboration with Francie — Francie, if you’re reading or listening, let’s chat! This is a public episode.
