Sex After Purity Culture Part 2 with Mattie Jo Cowsert and Erica Smith

This week on Sex After, we continue our conversation on purity culture with Mattie Jo Cowsert and are joined by sex educator, Erica Smith. We talk more about the complexities of healing from religious repression and reclaiming sexual autonomy. Mattie Jo and Erica also discuss the importance of community support and finding healing spaces for those recovering from conversion therapy or faith-based trauma.They touch on the ongoing process of deconstructing faith, navigating queer identities, and finding spiritual fulfillment outside of traditional religious frameworks. With humor, empathy, and deep wisdom, Amy, Mattie Jo, and Erica provide hope and guidance for anyone looking to embrace their sexuality at any stage of life, free from shame and societal expectations.You can find Amy on Instagram @Amymarcs or www.amymarcs.comYou can find the show at @SexafterpodcastSex After is produced by @ironskirtproductionsYou can find Erica Smith @Ericasmith.educates or www.purityculturedropout.comYou can find Mattie Jo Cowsert @Mattiejocowsert or www.mattiejocowsert.comYou can find Mattie Jo's book God, Sex and Rich People here.You can also view the trailer for the pilot to God, Sex and Rich People here.
