TW: religious trauma, purity culture, “soul tie” trauma, marital abuse/rape, consent violations, church trauma, peer pressured emotional trauma, coercion, manipulation, sexual abuse/assault, abuse of power, sexism, suicide (brief mention) 


Welcome to our last episode of Deconstruction January! If you are just joining us, welcome! This is the last episode of this themed month, but don’t worry, we will continue talking about deconstruction year round. I just wanted to dedicate some specific time to really unpack it. If you are looking for more constant deconstruction content, check out my Tik Tok, @fina__bina ! 


We spent the first half of January deep diving into mega churches, and now we’re diving into the other most requested topic: purity culture.


To have this conversation, we have the amazing Sarah (she/her) of @deconstructingpurityculture . Sarah and I come from really similar backgrounds and in this episode, we talk about all things purity culture from how it can lead to marital abuse to how the lack of consent education teaches adults not to have boundaries. 


If you want to learn from Sarah and follow her wonderful content, which I would HIGHLY recommend, you can find her on IG @deconstructingpurityculture . You can also find more of her podcast appearances and more resources on her linktree


We also quote Jessica Valenti, which I would also really recommend reading her work and her book, The Purity Myth.
