In this eye-opening episode, I sit down with Blair Rabun of @TalkPurityToMe [https://www.instagram.com/talkpuritytome/] to explore the profound impact of Purity Culture. Both Blair and I were shaped by the belief that our worth as women, especially in Christian circles, was tied to remaining abstinent and "pure." We dive into our personal stories, the lasting effects of these teachings on our self-esteem and relationships, and the broader dangers of such restrictive beliefs. Blair, who has amassed over 26,000 followers on Instagram, is a passionate advocate for dismantling Purity Culture and fostering a healthier understanding of sexuality and self-worth.
