How do you heal from purity culture? How do you get to a place where the shame no longer affects you? How can you recover your sexuality and know deep in your bones that it is something good?

Yes the title is clickbaity and this episode is full of caveats about what healing is and isn't.

In this long-form episode I give my take on healing (and why there are no rules to it and I absolutely do not have a 5-step formula), 8 or 9 practical tips, some brilliant resources, and changing your mindset around what, "fully healed" actually means.

Points I cover:

• Why healing has no rules and it looks different to everyone

  
  



• Why healing is messy and non-linear and it’s supposed to be that way

  
  



• Stop putting healing on a pedestal outside of yourself

  
  



• What if healing was thriving?

  
  



• My best tips and things to try

  
  



• Why you sometimes need to flip to the other end of the pendulum, but not always

  
  



• Why you always get to be in choice

  
  



• Trusting yourself to make your own decisions and your own mistakes

  
  



• What if spirit just means your connection to yourself?

  
  



• If something feels, “off”, in a spiritual setting, trust that!

  
  



• Some great resources, people, and organisations I recommend
