In this episode, Char, Josh, and Liv are joined by Katie Ziskind, LMFT, to discuss the damaging effects of purity culture, particularly within the context of non-monogamous relationships. As exvangelicals who have been going through religious deconstruction, they get personal with discussing everything from feelings of shame around sexual expression to the rarely discussed religious trauma syndrome that is negatively impacting individuals and relationships all around us.

Katie is a Holistic Therapist, owner of Wisdom Within Counseling, and host of the “All Things Love and Intimacy" podcast. Tune in for this candid, yet intimate, conversation that dives deep into how we can deconstruct the religious beliefs that are not based on truth and are causing far more harm than good.
