You deserve better. Your daughters deserve better. The women around you deserve better. She deserves better. This is a sentiment Sheila Wray Gregoire strongly believes in, and she is here today not only to introduce you to her new book, She Deserves Better, but to tell you exactly why you deserve better and how you can heal from the lies you grew up believing about purity culture, sex, modesty, men, and more.
Join Natalie and Sheila as they discuss the harmful lies you were taught to believe, how you can heal, and how you can help raise the next generation to have a better chance at believing and living in the truth.
Key Points From This Episode:
Why She Deserves Better was written and the stats to back up the book. How purity culture was born (and why it’s a big bunch of lies squashed together because of fear and then fed to us and our children). How to help our children have high self-esteem. Why Christian women struggle with vaginismus at twice the rate of the general population. How She Deserves Better can help you reparent yourself. Why telling the truth to our children about sex is vital to their physical, mental, and emotional health.Access the transcript, read the show notes, and/or ask Natalie a question here
