Listen "17. Reframing Our Stories: A Conversation on Shame, Sex, and Sacred Self-Knowing with Kara Haug"

Episode Synopsis

In this powerful episode, I sit down with Kara Haug, sex educator and co-founder of Reframing Our Stories, whose work centers on reducing shame and increasing connection to our bodies, pleasure, and intimacy. Kara shares the deeply personal journey that led her to this path, and how she now supports individuals, families, schools, and faith communities in having more honest, compassionate, and embodied conversations around sex and sexuality. We explore how shame is passed down generationally, why accessibility and education are crucial, and how Kara creates safety and transparency around topics that are often considered taboo. This episode is a beautiful reminder that our stories—especially the ones we were taught to hide—can be reclaimed and reframed with care. Content Note:This episode includes a brief but important discussion around sexual abuse, including Kara’s experience supporting survivors in her work.
