What do you when your church says abuse and mistreatment is okay? And that it’s not only ok, but it’s God’s design. And what if you’ve identified abuse in your relationship but now notice you’ve had the same experience in your church and maybe even what you’ve been taught about God? 

Is any faith community safe for women?

Today’s episode explores church-sanctioned domestic abuse and intimate partner violence. We deconstruct that old saying, “Don’t throw the baby out with the bathwater and find the shades of gray. Popping into Pop Culture covers Naked Attraction and the news about Puff Daddy Combs, and we have lots to say about how to keep your own “fruit” fresh.

We are finally seeing more information and education on perimenopause but don’t really hear a lot of conversations about the practical implications on relationships. That’s about to change as the Wise Jezebels dive into how perimenopause impacted their relationships, romance, and connections in the past and present. 

We also discussing all the pop culture headlines like the Grammys, Taylor Swift, Prince Charles and more! And then it’s time to talk about sex…specifically the differences and relationship between embodied affection and orgasms. 

It’s an episode you won’t want to miss!

The Wise Jezebels are talking all things purity culture! From the hilarious things they did–like Laura’s husband journal–to the long term impacts of purity culture. They both acknowledge how much more difficult it’s been to resolve the way purity culture lives in their body than physical acts of sexualized violence and some of what they have engaged in for healing. This episode is light and deep, vulnerable, and hilarious–there’s something for everyone! 

We also talk about Taylor Swift and the media outlets who are politicizing her relationship and appearances at his games, do an accountabilibuddy check in, and end with a ‘Menopause Minute’!

The Wise Jezebels are ready to take on a topic they have a lot of thoughts about! Ever wonder why it is that some people develop large platforms overnight–followed by offering coaches, services, and most of all, a path to healing…and why are people so enamored with them? On this episode we discuss the concept of embodied fundamentalism–that is, how fundamentalism lives in our bodies even after religion–and how it shows up in our present day lives and relationships. 

We also talk about Gypsy Rose Blanchard, the Iowa Caucus and answer a listener question in preparation for our next Q&A episode. Make sure to get your questions in for our January episode of Non-Consensual, Consensual Advice. Drop them in our DM’s, on the question boxes on our IG stories or on the contact form on our website!

Traumaversaries– what are they, how do they show up, why do they impact our daily lives years later? We’re deep-diving into the ways memorable events are stored in our bodies and what we can do about it. This episode also gets into the Golden Globe monologue debacle and a brand new segment about what’s keeping us up at night. COMING SOON is our Consensual Non-Consensual Advice segment so be sure to send your questions into our DMs.

“To thine own self be true” is from Hamlet. But in our Christian backgrounds, we were taught it was romantic and ideal for a male partner to know us better than we know ourselves. Ditto pastors and any external authority. In today’s episode, we deconstruct the dark side of that dependence and its complementarian roots. Also up, the Golden Bachelor Royal Wedding and a super-disturbing cult leader video with AntiChrist and End Times vibes all over it. We wrap it up with our very own 23/24 In and Out list!

Resolutions and goals look different on the backside of fundamentalism! In this chat, we compare and contrast what goal setting looks like then versus now, what our words for the year are and why, and how we’re going to reclaim accountability (fun) with each other. 

Also on tap is a Golden Bachelor royal wedding update and a relationship segment on arrested development you won’t want to miss.

It’s our December edition of Non-Consensual, Consensual Advice and we  got some great questions from you! We’ll be talking everything from skin care routines and fashion to navigating relationships with grandparents who are still a part of a fundamentalist faith wanting relationships with their grandchildren, to the most valuable lessons we’ve learned this year. 

We end by giving you some little teasers for the fun stuff we have coming up next year!
