    Ep. 25 | Purity Culture & Stolen Identity (Part 1): What Were We Actually Taught

    ⚠️ Content Warning Content Warning: This episode contains discussion of purity culture, predatory behavior within religious systems, and child sexual abuse. Listener discretion is advised, especially for survivors of abuse. This week we begin a new series exploring how purity culture shaped — and in many ways stole — our sexual identity. For those of us raised in high-control religious environments, sexuality wasn’t something we were allowed to understand or explore safely. Instead, we were handed a framework built on shame, fear, and rigid gender roles. In this episode, we ask four foundational questions: • What did purity culture promise us? • What did we learn about our bodies? • What were we taught about desire? • And what did it actually cost us? As the conversation unfolds, we also discuss the deeper systems at play — including how purity culture can create environments where predatory behavior is minimized and victims are silenced. This series isn’t about sensationalism. It’s about understanding the messages we absorbed and beginning the work of reclaiming identity, safety, and agency in our own bodies. If you grew up with purity culture, this conversation may feel uncomfortably familiar. Follow along as we continue unpacking how these systems shaped us — and what healing can look like on the other side. 🔗Josh Harris apology Follow us: Instagram → https://www.instagram.com/imonthephonepodcastmoms?igsh=a2xreGk2NTJ4OXQz&utm_source=qr Facebook → https://www.facebook.com/share/1S1scPxDMp/?mibextid=wwXIfr ☕ Support the podcast: ko-fi.com/imonthephonepodcast #PurityCulture #ReligiousTraumaRecovery #PurityCultureRecovery #Exvangelical #DeconstructionJourney #ReligiousTrauma #HealingAfterReligion #SexualShameRecovery #FaithDeconstruction #WomenHealing #TraumaInformed #HealingOutLoud #PodcastConversations

    Ep.23 | If I’m Not the Agreeable One, Who Am I? Love & Survival Pt. 3

    ⚠️ Content Note (optional but wise) Discussion includes purity culture, religious trauma, sexual identity, and embodied healing as well as a story in a dentists chair that includes blood. Part 3 of our Love & Survival series takes us into identity. If I’m not the agreeable one… who am I? We talk about what surfaced when we stopped fawning. The emotions that felt almost impossible to access. The pushback that came when we changed. And we didn’t expect to go here, but we did. We talk about how purity culture stole rest. How it shaped our relationship to our bodies. How it distorted sexual identity and desire. I share a poem about the honest truth I struggle with around my body and voice. And another I wrote for my husband for Valentine’s Day. Because leaving together is rare. And rebuilding together is its own kind of courage. This episode is about grief. About anger. About tenderness. About discovering who you are when compliance is no longer your personality. If you’re in the process of untangling identity from survival, this one is for you. 📲 Follow us: Instagram → https://www.instagram.com/imonthephonepodcastmoms?igsh=a2xreGk2NTJ4OXQz&utm_source=qr Facebook → https://www.facebook.com/share/1S1scPxDMp/?mibextid=wwXIfr ☕ Support the podcast: ko-fi.com/imonthephonepodcast #LoveAndSurvival #ReligiousTraumaRecovery #PurityCultureRecovery #FawnResponse #PeoplePleasingRecovery #DeconstructionJourney #Exvangelical #HealingOutLoud #ReclaimYourBody #SpiritualDeconstruction #MarriageAfterReligion #TraumaHealing #WomenReclaiming
