ABOUT THIS EPISODE
Hey friends! Welcome to Girls’ Night!
Our guest for today’s episode is my friend, Kat Harris. Kat is the Co-Founder of the online publication The Refined Woman and host of The Refined Collective Podcast. Her vision is for women to know their beauty, identity and value. I just love that so much and knew I needed to have her on Girls Night!
Kat and I have really similar hearts. We both love talking about singleness, dating and relationships, but there’s one specific part of this whole thing that she really focuses on, and that’s sex.
We cover so much in this episode. I asked Kat a million questions, and I’m so grateful for her honesty and her insight.
Here are just a few of the things we talk about:
What the bible really says about sex before marriage
What to do if you’ve already had sex but you want to do things differently moving forward
How to set physical boundaries in your relationship
How to live within those boundaries
What to do when you screw up
We talk about masturbation
And SO MUCH MORE!
Friends, if you’ve ever found yourself asking big questions about sexuality, purity, and boundaries, (I mean, that’s all of us, right?), you are going to LOVE this conversation.
