Lady, were there things you were taught as a child that now as an adult you wonder why you believed it? Yep. Us too. Oh, wait.

That’s not you? What about as an adult? There was nothing you have questioned? Still not you? So, no pyramid schemes? Certain religious beliefs? “Old wives tales”? Virginity/Hymen Testing?

Today we invite you to listen with an open heart and mind as Terri and Dom provide us with an opportunity to reflect on what we have learned and question the messaging we have held to be true. What do I believe? Why do I believe it? In this episode, Dom and Terri explore why some of these myths or “lessons” came into being and how the messaging may have harmful lasting psychological effects.

 

“As life continues to evolve how we address situations need to evolve as well.” -Dr. Dom
