EP. 02: Second Adolescence as…the Inhabitance of Your Full Self
January 20, 2022
This week's episode features a conversation with Sarah Meyer Tapia (she/her). We hear Sarah share about growing up within the True Love Waits and Purity Culture worlds and how pervasive the strict messaging around sex and sexuality were for her. We then hear about how this upbringing came into opposition with what she would later discover felt most true and authentic for her. Sarah goes on to talk about her own Second Adolescence involving the expansion of her experience of sexual and relational identity in her 30s, and how discovering consensual non-monogamy has enlivened her as an individual and her relationships.
