In this post, we dive into the deep impact of growing up in a body-shaming, purity-driven culture—and how those early messages shape our inner responses to nudity and sexuality. We explore how cultures like the Netherlands and Scandinavia approach the body with openness and respect, and what we can learn from them. Most importantly, we walk through practical, compassionate steps for healing from shame, unlearning over-sexualized reactions, and reclaiming a sense of safety and joy in our own skin. Whether you’re deconstructing purity culture, healing from trauma, or simply curious about body positivity, this episode offers insight, tools, and hope.
