I had the absolute pleasure of joining my amazing friend Stacie, a.k.a. Apostacie, on her YouTube show The Stacie’s Mom Podcast! 🎙️✨
In this episode, we dive deep into some powerful and important topics:
– Growing up in purity culture and fighting lustful thoughts
– Battling scrupulosity and navigating religious trauma
– Deconstructing and deconverting from religion
– Rediscovering and redefining sexuality outside of religion
This conversation was both heartfelt and insightful, and we shared our personal experiences in ways that I believe will resonate with so many of you. Whether you’re deconstructing, deconstructed, or fully deconverted, this episode is for YOU.
It’s packed with honesty, healing, and even a bit of fun along the way.
👉 Watch now on YouTube!
I’d love to hear your thoughts after listening. Let’s keep this important conversation going! 💬
In compassionate support,
Forest Benedict, LMFT
