Episode 9: The S Word
from We Weren't Told Hosted by Angel Beswick-Reid
Millennial girlies, pull up a chair — and no, for once, not at your therapist's. I had coffee recently with a woman I've known since I was four years old — same prep school, same high school, now both mothers of twelve-year-olds. Part of our convo was about what Catholic school did to us, and what it quietly withheld -- the S words. Both of them — sex and silence. And either way, we were never supposed to talk about either one. In this episode, I'm talking about the silence around sex and desire that shaped us as girls — and what it's costing us and our children, if we don't name it. In this episode: What Catholic school's silence actually taught us about our bodies Why our mothers couldn't give us what they'd never been given How I came to understand virginity as a transaction — and why The conversations I'm determined to have with my son that nobody had with me Why silence was never neutral — it was always a position What did the silence cost you — and what are you doing differently? Grab your drink or your iced coffee, my friend. It's go time. Come say hi on Instagram 🫶🏽 @iamangelbr | @iamwewerenttoldpodcast
