In this episode I chat with Sex Coach & Relationship Coach Meg Cowan on healing from purity culture, growing within partnerships as well as evolving both community and family dynamics. More often than now, transitioning paradigms can result in relational tension. We talk about how to navigate both family units and romantic relationship structures during religious deconstruction. Megan shares her personal story of her journey to becoming a sex coach as well as resources for healing, and how it’s manifested in marriage.
