Aideen T. Finnola grew up in a religious cult, then spent two decades married to a closeted and abusive gay man. She's now an "unapologetic and empowered survivor," a Martha Beck-certified life coach and author of the memoir, My Exquisite Purple Life. She chats with August about her healing journey, her mixed orientation marriage, ways purity culture impacts female sexuality, healing benefits of masturbation, "straight spouse" support, and more. August weighs in on sleep-gasms then discusses persistent genital arousal disorder (aka PGAD) and pleasure when you have a chronic pain condition with Dr. Megan Fleming.
