This episode is a deep journey into the PRACTICE of sexual integrity. It's one of the most important episodes on this podcast so far, so please take your time with it - and note the chapters below too. Also, please read the important note below before you finish the episode.

⚠️ IMPORTANT NOTE: While this conversation is in-depth and provides great options for moving forward in healthy ways, it does not cover all the nuances of sexual harm, integrity and accountability. There will always be scenarios that do not fit into what has been discussed here (for example, we did not talk about when people weaponize the idea/accusation that someone has caused harm to them when they haven't. Those instances are rare, but they're very real when they do happen).
