  • Episode 8: My Relationship with Sex
    Growing up, sex was a conversation my family never talked about. While it shielded us from the messy parts of it, it also created a stigma that impacted my view and relationship with it. This stigma ultimately impacted my sexual experiences and also my relationships. Besides sharing how the stigma came about, and how it impacted my relationships, I also share how I feel a healthy view on sex for ourselves should look like.

    I caught myself treating another person poorly and it got me to think,
    "What makes me think that's okay?"
    "Why did I act that way when it's not in line with who I want to be?"
