Manage episode 509764929 series 3515959
Excerpt...
Ana explains that guilt around sex is deeply ingrained, especially for women who’ve been taught to view their bodies as shameful or something to be hidden. "It’s sinful to even think about your body, and even things such as basic, as your genitalia, which is just another body part, your arm or your vagina or what have you." She says that stories passed down generationally keep women from questioning those narratives. That’s where her work helping women identify these damaging beliefs, and gently challenging them, begins.
