Today I'm talking with Linda Kay Klein who is the author of “Pure: Inside the Evangelical Movement that Shamed a Generation of Young Women and How I Broke free” .
In addition to being an author, Linda is the founder and president of Break Free Together, a nonprofit storytelling organization dedicated to helping people release shame and claim their whole selves.
This one hits close to home, as a kid who was raised born again Christian during the height of the purity culture movement in the early 2000’s and who has been unraveling the damage, making revelations and healing ever since.
Linda brings so much insight, thoughtfulness and intelligence to such a heavy topic for so many of us and I think anyone who is currently trying to make sense of being exposed to purity culture at any point in their life, will find her words cathartic and validating.
This is, “First Time Kissing Purity Culture Goodbye”.
