Dorcas Pittman, Editor-in-Chief of Women of Hope Magazine, joins me for one of the heaviest and most honest conversations we've had on Sex Ed for Saints.

For years, Dorcas wore the cape. From the outside, everything looked put together, but underneath it, she was carrying childhood self-harm, a growing 🌽 addiction, and a mounting weight of shame she never let anyone see. She had people around her, but not the kind of closeness where she felt safe enough to fail out loud. So she kept adding layers instead, hiding more, performing more, until it brought her to a breaking point that nearly cost her everything.

This is the episode where Dorcas finally drops her cape and heals for real. It's about what it costs to perform wellness instead of pursuing it, and what changes when you stop hiding and start telling the truth.
