S10. Ep3. Spilling The Tea On Joshua Tree

In this episode, Lauren + Adam discuss:

- Lauren's personal experience from the social chaos that occurred after a photo with some of her close friends, celebrating liberation from purity culture, was shared online.

- This entire experience from start to finish is incredibly nuanced + we couldn't possibly cover everything. We hope you hear our hearts.

- Adam speaks on allowing others to live in their joy.

- We discuss that many people find themselves - again - giving away their power, and lacking voice or opinion after leaving church culture. How they choose to be lead by a select few that check off new boxes to make them believe they posses no self-identifying discernment. What we can do instead...

- A lot of white folks don't consider the fact that they have ancestors too. We talk about how to tap into that and why it is so necessary to stop perpetuating performative behavior that lacks critical thinking.
