Description
On the say what? podcast, we help Christian women overcome toxic purity culture, be confident in their sex lives, heal from painful sex, and feel less alone! Hanna believes that everyone has a seat on her couch, regardless of who you are, and it will never be too full for you to sit down. She currently lives in North Carolina with her husband, Thomas, her son, and her dog. Let's talk about things people don't want to say... out loud!
