Fear of Sexuality, Swimming, and Dancing with Sexual Health Educator and Youth Minister Kara Haug

You are worth the awkward.(Kara said that—and I haven’t stopped thinking about it.) When Kara Haug walked onto the One Fear Per Year podcast,she didn’t tiptoe around the hard stuff.She walked straight into it—with grace, humor, and truth. She talked about growing up in a house shaped by fear.(“We’d go out on a sunny day bike ride and hear, ‘Someonegot stabbed there once!’”)She gets it. She lived it. And then… she broke it. She decided the generational fear stops with her.She signed her kids up for swim lessons before they could form fullsentences. They jump in, splash wildly, and swim free—while she still quietly stands at the edge, healing the childinside who once stood too scared to move. But this isn’t just a story about parenting.  Kara never thought she’d run a business.(“I’m the turtle,” she said. “Slow, steady, lots of processing.”) She never dreamed she’d be a sexualhealth educator with a theology degree and a background in youth ministry.(Yes—those coexist.) ✨ She teaches kids and adults how to talk about sexwithout shame.✨ She creates sacred spaces where people feel safe toask the uncomfortable questions.✨ She reminds people that healing is awkward…but you are worth it. And maybe the bravest part? She’s learning to dance again. Not the way she did in college…But in a new way—shoes on, fear present, heart open. So I’ll leave you with this: 💭 What’s one thing fear is keeping you from—that might actually be the invitation you need? Kara’s definition of the opposite of fear?Invitation.Not comfort. Not certainty.But a quiet pull into the space you’re meant to grow. She’s walking through it.So can we. Tune into this weeks episode! #OneFearPerYearPodcast #OneFearPerYear
