Description:

Leah Carey is a Sex and Relationship Coach and host of the Good Girls Talk About Sex podcast. She helps thoughtful, self-aware adults who grew up in fear-based environments to stop freezing, over-explaining, and second-guessing themselves in relationships. In other words: in a world filled with confusion and fear, Leah helps sex make sense. Drawing on her own healing journey from fear and repression, she specializes in working with people from high-control childhoods like Purity Culture, narcissistic abuse, cults, and other patriarchal abuse.

✨ What this episode explores:

  • Freeze and Fawn in Intimacy — How these survival patterns shape your sexual relationships, and what it means to rewrite them.
  • From Transactional Love — How receiving conditional love as a child shaped your beliefs about self-worth and connection.
  • Releasing Sexual Shame — How letting go of past repression leads to genuine self-acceptance
  • Boundaries Without Fear — How learning to set healthy boundaries allows you to step out of old roles and into authentic connections
  • Reclaiming Your Voice — How learning to express your needs transforms your relationships
