In 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 trauma
  • How sexual shame disrupts body image, nervous system regulation, and intimacy
  • The M.E.S.S. model: Dr. Tina’s framework for erasing sexual shame
