This week, I sit down with my sister and discover parts of her journey to womanhood that I never knew. From the surprise of starting her period at school to how she’s now guiding her daughter with openness and honesty, she shares with such vulnerability and strength.
We dive into the innocence of early discoveries, the shame that can come from how we’re taught to view our bodies, and the impact of growing up with early exposure to sexuality. Together, we explore how these experiences shape intimacy, confidence, and the choices women make for themselves.
It’s a raw, honest, and inspiring conversation about reclaiming innocence, redefining pleasure, and creating a new path for future generations.
