Hanna is so enjoyable to listen to! I did have several “say what?” moments while listening lol which shows how I am really not accustomed to this level of openness around sex from a Christian woman. I love her boldness, vulnerability and humor. I think this podcast is so needed and helps me and so many others think about and talk about things like sex, purity culture, and our bodies. Go give this podcast a listen!

Hanna has torn walls down I thought I’d never get past. Purity culture, while well intended, has caused so much fear and tension in my life. My premarital counselor recommended her podcast and it was an INSTANT game changer. Thank you for saying what needs to be said, bringing warmth, welcomeness and making these topics acceptable in the Christian woman’s world, Hanna! 🫶🏼
