Send us Fan MailIn this powerful episode, I’m joined by renowned sex and gender feminist psychotherapist and best-selling author Dr. Tina Schermer Sellers, whose revolutionary work is changing how we approach sexual shame, parenting, intimacy, and embodied healing.Dr. Tina unpacks the deep psychological and spiritual cost of sexual shame—especially in religious and patriarchal cultures—and offers a path toward healing, wholeness, and shameless parenting. She breaks down the impact shame has on our nervous system, attachment, body image, and intimacy, and how healing these patterns not only transforms our personal lives but breaks generational cycles for our children.Whether you're a parent, partner, or practitioner, this conversation will rewire the way you think about sacred sexuality, body trust, and raising confident, relationally intelligent kids.This is a must-listen for anyone who’s been told their desire was "too much," their body was “wrong,” or their worth was conditional on purity.🧠 Key Topics Discussed:The emotional, spiritual, and physical impact of sexual shame and religious traumaHow sexual shame disrupts body image, nervous system regulation, and intimacyThe M.E.S.S. model: Dr. Tina’s framework for erasing sexual shameWhat it means to raise shame-free, confident children in a sex-positive householdThe connection between sacred sexuality and spiritual healingHow to become your child’s most trusted resource for sex, love, and relationshipsTips for fostering long-term intimacy and emotional connection in partnershipsThe legacy of patriarchy in our relational patterns—and how to undo it📌 Important Links:💻 Website & Contact: www.TinaSchermerSellers.com/contact📘 Dr. Tina’s Books:Sex, God, & the Conservative ChurchShameless Parenting📲 Instagram: @DrTinaShameless👥 Facebook: facebook.com/TinaSSellers🌐 Inanna Rising: InannaRising.org🧠 Learn more: Northwest Institute on IntimacyAnd click HERE to jump into the Becoming Her Experiment, a 30-day immersive experience designed to help you test-drive the rituals, rhythms, and frequencies of your next-level self.
