When entrepreneur and business coach Ross Johnson said he was going to be embarking on a 24-hour podcast marathon, I jumped at the opportunity. 

I signed a pledge of purity at 13 years old that I honored until I was 30. Many can imagine how much sexual shame I had to unravel in order to not feel hell-bound every time I acknowledged my desire. That's why I am so honored and excited to share this chat I had with Blair Rabun, creator of the Instagram account @TalkPurityToMe which is dedicated to "unlearning the shame that purity culture taught us."

Whether purity culture has a role in your life or not, this episode is relevant for everyone. We chat about overcoming sexual shame, sex toys, sex positivity, the benefits of casual sex, and so much more.
