EDJ and I talk with Amber Gregory about faith, rape culture, and the mental trick that grooming sets up with vulnerable people. Trigger warning, we are having raw and real conversation.

EDJ and I talk about real life in this episode, and we range the life topics from finding a church, our memoirs that we are writing, and finding intimacy in friendship.

We are taking a personal and deep look at religious views with a very special guest, Angela Herrington.

EDJ and Joy talk more about what it means to live in a purity culture environment, and our journeys to understanding what purity entails, and how to live it out. We discuss the struggle of living up to the perfectionist ideals and try to find the balance between living a holy and realistic life.

I finally have a chance to talk about my travels in 2023, and EDJ is taking a moment to share them with me.

EDJ interviews me about living with Fibroids. I appreciate her listening ear.

Jnasofly is with me today to talk about intimacy without sex. We started this conversation over the holidays and realized that it was a complex topic that we wanted to bring to the world. You get a real conversation in real-time.

Kimmerly, also known as Emperess, is co-hosting this episode with me to bring us insight into developing intimacy. She is my girl. We can be honest, open, transparent, and real, and hold each other accountable. I love this woman, and I am so happy that she is here on this episode with me.

Our time together will be called: Joy Cometh in The Morning. This is episode one of that series. Look out for more!
