Untamed Ember

Who Mic'd Up the Church, the Colonizers, and the Creepy Uncle?


Listen Later

Who the hell gave the patriarchy a mic—and why is he still talking? In this fiery and unfiltered episode, Dr. Misty traces how religion, colonization, and white supremacy shaped our most shame-filled beliefs about sex and pleasure. From demonizing desire to rewriting sexual freedom as deviance, this episode is a wild ride through history, rage, and radical reclamation. You’ll laugh, you’ll learn, and you’ll probably want to light something on fire (metaphorically… probably).

Includes a reflection prompt + exclusive worksheet for deeper unlearning inside The Ember Society.
