Chrissy opens today’s episode with a nature visualization meditation, then shares the definition of the word purity, and invites us to consider the question: how have societal expectations or the idea of purity impacted your mental health?

Erica Smith also joins the conversation to discuss her work as an award-winning sexuality educator and consultant with over 20 years of experience. Together, Chrissy and Erica discuss purity culture, Erica’s approach to working with people coming out of it, and how people can incorporate sex education more positively and inclusively.

Then Chrissy shares this week’s book recommendation, Pure: Inside the Evangelical Movement That Shamed a Generation of Young Women and How I Broke Free by Linda Kay Klein.

And in the end, Chrissy encourages you to ask yourself:

• How have societal expectations or the idea of purity impacted your mental health?
• Can purity be achieved or is it an unattainable ideal?
• How do you handle situations that challenge your sense of purity?
