What happens when your head knows you’re safe, but your body doesn’t believe it?

In this deeply compassionate Dear Katie episode, we’re talking about sex, shame, and the long-lasting impact of purity culture—even years into a healthy, loving marriage.

Katie reads a listener’s heartfelt letter about struggling with low libido, body image, and the lingering messages of purity culture that still shape how she experiences intimacy. Together, they explore why those old beliefs don’t just disappear once we say “I do,” and how to begin the healing process that leads to freedom, trust, and real connection again.

You’ll learn:

  • Why old sexual conditioning lives in your body (and not just your mind)
  • How to start rebuilding safety and trust—with your partner and yourself
  • Simple, practical ways to reconnect with your body and rewrite your story around desire and worth

This episode is a gentle reminder that your body isn’t the problem—and that healing from sexual shame is holy, brave, and absolutely possible.
