An innocent request for a profile photo to accompany a mental health focused article I submitted to Helpful Living Magazine turned into multiple selfies and harsh criticism of me by me.

The struggle of seeing ourselves as beautiful and wanting validation from others but more specifically men have led women into denying our natural beauty and being critical of almost every aspect of us.

IG provided food for thought. I saw a post that eloquently states we don't need that closure conversation. Why is it that we have to have closure by talking to the person we perceived to have done us wrong? What do we expect from such a conversation? Validation? Acknowledgment of wrongs? Sorry?

Ep. 3 Talks about why we get so hung up on having that closure conversation.

This episode was inspired by an Instagram post by Poetrycosmosofficial that asked "Women with no sex partner and high sex drives, are y'all okay?" and the honest answers from women.

I ramble on about single, married and Christian women's hushed silence when discussing their sexual energy. How about the false narrative that all men have high sex drives? Viagra anyone?

I would love to hear from you on this topic.
