IN THIS EPISODE:

Amber describes being raised in a strict abstinence culture and the challenges that messaging has had on her 18-year marriage. We talk about:

• The impossible task of flipping the switch on her wedding day and why she cried on her honeymoon.
• The book on marriage she was given by her mother and the skewed messages about intimacy that made her feel broken and alone.
• How patterns of disassociation during intimacy led to feelings of deep resentment toward her husband.
• The damaging but all-too-common advice she was given by her counselor, her mother, and even her female doctor.
• The realization her marriage was cheated out of true intimacy and what she and her husband are doing to heal together.
• The power of community that contributed to her growth and healing after hearing familiar stories of women from around the globe.
