Defying Purity Culture: A Path From Cult to Authenticity With AmberRose

Matti (they/them) welcomes their fiancée AmberRose (she/her) to this new episode. AmberRose, a new speech pathologist, describes growing up in a patriarchal cult and later conservative evangelical spaces shaped by purity culture, status, and rigid gender roles. The conversation also explores propaganda, shame, queerness, neurodivergence, and how their non-hierarchical relationship and communication help them tolerate uncertainty and plan a wedding on their own terms.
