Ep 479Unpacking Purity Culture With Blair Of @TalkPurityToMe

Today we have the pleasure of speaking with Blair, the “exvangelical” brains behind @TalkPurityToMe, a humorous account dedicated to unlearning the shame taught by purity culture, both on Instagram and TikTok. Purity culture, based on the belief that sex should be had only within heterosexual marriage and that all lustful thoughts before marriage are sinful, has been a theme among our Shandies' questions, so we're excited to finally have a conversation on the topic. With Blair's help, we unpack everything from how to go from sex being bad to suddenly a beautiful part of marriage, navigating judgment from friends and family, and the ways in which purity culture resembles abuse. If you're currently struggling to shed the shame "purity" has cursed you with, or if you experience shame but aren't exactly sure where it comes from, today's conversation just might be for you.Thanks to our sponsors!- Go to https://www.talkspace.com and use code SHANDY to get $100 off your first month of therapy!- Go to https://www.zocdoc.com/SHANDY and sign up for free to book a top-rated doctor!- Go to https://www.squarespace.com/SHANDY and use code SHANDY for 10% off your first website or domain!More Blair:- Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/talkpuritytome- TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@talkpuritytomeTime stamps:0:00 - Welcome to Talk Purity To Me's Blair!2:52 - Defining Purity Culture4:54 - Blair's History With Purity Culture10:10 - How Far Into Her Own "Deconstruction Process" Is She And Does She Still Struggle?13:12 - Her First Sexual Experience14:04 - What Inspired Her To Start An Account Dedicated To Unlearning Purity Culture?15:35 - How Have Her Family And Friends Reacted?20:39 - What Are The Most Common Themes She's Seen In Terms Of The Damage Purity Culture Can Cause?23:52 - Has She Found A Stronger Response From A Particular Age Range?24:14 - Have Any Responses She's Gotten Taken Her By Surprise?25:48 - Are There Any Less Obvious Ways She Thinks Purity Culture Manifests?27:05 - Tips For Shedding The Deeply Ingrained Mindset That Sex = Shame29:17 - Do People Who Leave Purity Culture Tend To Swing In The Opposite Direction?32:21 - Tips For Being More Open-Minded Sexually35:53 - What Advice Would She Give To Someone Staying With Their First Sexual Partner Solely Due To Their History With Purity Culture?40:28 - Tips For Trusting Your Intuition/Hearing That Inner Voice42:06 - Was There A Pivotal Moment That Changed Her Mindset?49:03 - Her Advice To Anyone Wanting To Go On Their Own "Deconstruction" Journey While Maintaining Meaningful Relationships With Loved Ones51:30 - What Is Her Relationship With Christianity Like Today?56:24 - Does She Think There's A Correlation Between Being Raised In Purity Culture And Difficulty Orgasming?57:24 - Does She Consider Purity Culture A Form Of Abuse?59:02 - Does It Ever Get Better?1:01:07 - Shandy DebriefIf you have a relationship question, write us at: [email protected] this podcast at — https://redcircle.com/dear-shandy/donationsSubscribe - https://bit.ly/SubscribeDearShandyListen on iTunes - https://bit.ly/DearShandyiTunesMore Dear ShandyInstagram - https://www.instagram.com/dearshandyFacebook - https://fb.me/dearshandyMore SharleenInstagram - https://www.instagram.com/sharleenjoyntBlog - http://www.alltheprettypandas.comMore AndyInstagram - https://www.instagram.com/machinelevineProduced by Gabrielle Galon - https://www.instagram.com/gabsamillionSupport this podcast at — https://redcircle.com/dear-shandy/donations Learn more about your ad choices.

Ep 471Parasocial Relationships With Josh Peck

Parasocial relationships are defined as one-sided relationships, where one person extends emotional energy, interest and time, and the other party, the persona, is completely unaware of the other’s existence.Have you ever wondered how the celebrity in this situation, or the "persona", feels about this dynamic? Today we're joined by accomplished actor, writer, and Youtuber Josh Peck, to chat how it feels to be on the other side. With 3.5 million Youtube subscribers, 7 million TikTok followers, 12.6 million Instagram followers, and having been on TV since age 10, it's safe to say Josh is on the receiving end of millions of parasocial relationships.Can he even process that so many people caring about him or feeling like they know him? How does it feel to know he could be shaping the identities of so many? And does he ever feel a reverse dynamic, where he feels attached to his fans or even betrayed by them? Listen on for a fascinating discussion about human nature, our relationship with ourselves, and the strange dynamic that is parasocial relationships.Thanks to our sponsor:- Go to https://www.hellofresh.com/SHANDY16 and use code SHANDY16 to get up to 14 free meals, plus 3 free gifts!More JoshHis Book "Happy People Are Annoying" - https://amzn.to/3tdttvdInstagram - https://www.instagram.com/shuapeckTikTok - https://www.tiktok.com/@joshpeckYoutube - https://www.youtube.com/c/joshpeckCurious Podcast - https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/curious-with-josh-peck/id1378163166If you have a relationship question, write us at: [email protected] and watch the episodes on YouTube! https://bit.ly/SubscribeDearShandyMore Dear ShandyInstagram - https://www.instagram.com/dearshandyFacebook - https://fb.me/dearshandyMore SharleenInstagram - https://www.instagram.com/sharleenjoyntBlog - http://www.alltheprettypandas.comMore AndyInstagram - https://www.instagram.com/machinelevineProduced by Gabrielle Galon - https://www.instagram.com/gabsamillionSupport this podcast at — https://redcircle.com/dear-shandy/donations Learn more about your ad choices.

Ep 497LOVE FEST! Jacqueline Trumbull & Paul Seli On Overcoming Jealousy & The Art Of Making A Move

It's Love Fest time! 🎉 Today we're joined by one of Sharleen's closest Bachelor Nation friends, Jacqueline Trumbull, and her fiancé Paul Seli!You may remember Jacqueline from Arie's season, where she, like Sharleen, withdrew in Week 7. She and Paul are both in psychology (Jacqueline is a PhD student at Duke University, where Paul is a professor of Psychology and Neuroscience), so needless to say, there's fun analysis of relationship dynamics in today's conversation. We learn how Paul overcame jealousy in the early stages, how their psychology backgrounds play a role in their relationship, and their thoughts on The One. Finally, a real nail-biter of a Dear Shandy Newlyweds Game! Who knows who better?

Ep 556The Hunt For Red Flags

It's Caller Day! Today we're joined by TWO lovely callers. Our first caller, Lisa, is in the very early stages of dating a guy who seems accompanied by red flags. Should she end things before she gets invested, or is it too soon to throw away the first "butterflies" she's felt in awhile? Our second caller, Danielle, is an introvert in a relationship with a full-blown extrovert, and she feels their differences in this regard could be causing a red flag. Should she attempt change her ways or does this speak to a deeper problem?

In keeping with tradition, we're doing something a little different to ring in the New Year. This topic has been requested for awhile now, so today, inspired by Episode 1 (How We Met) and Episode 21 (Our Proposal Story), we're doing another throwback!

Ep 89Truths Bombs About Egg Freezing & Fertility with Whitney Bischoff Angel

Today's topic came hotly requested and we're thrilled to be joined by a familiar face: Whitney Bischoff Angel, winner of The Bachelor Season 19! As an experienced fertility nurse, as well as a woman who has gone through the egg freezing process herself, Whitney is more than qualified to answer the Shandies' burning fertility questions!Whitney shares the leading contributing factors to infertility, whether or not the age 35 is overblown as being THE age when fertility begins to drop, the step-by-step process of egg freezing (as well as the cost!), and her thoughts on the media's messaging around fertility in general. Whitney really is a wealth of knowledge and this conversation was both so enjoyable AND informative for us. We hope you think so, too!More Whitney Bischoff AngelInstagram - https://www.instagram.com/whitb624Ova Clinic - https://ovaeggfreezing.com/Thanks to our sponsor!- Go to https://www.manscaped.com and use code SHANDY to get 20% off + free shipping!If you have a relationship question, write us at: [email protected] and watch the episodes on YouTube! https://bit.ly/SubscribeDearShandyFollow us!Dear Shandy - https://www.instagram.com/dearshandySharleen Joynt - https://www.instagram.com/sharleenjoyntAndy Levine - https://www.instagram.com/machinelevineSupport this podcast at — https://redcircle.com/dear-shandy/donations Learn more about your ad choices.
