Episode 24: What Drives Your Purpose with Linda Kay Klein
Linda is the Founder and President of break free together, a nonprofit storytelling organization dedicated to helping people release shame and claim their whole selves. She is a deconstruction and purity culture recovery coach. Her work in this area was born out of 16 years of research for her award winning book pure inside the evangelical movement that shamed a generation of young women and how I broke free. Linda has spoken around the world from the TEDx stage to the Apollo paulose women of the world festival. Her work has been featured in The New York Times and PR CBS, NBC, Elle Magazine, and 150 other outlets. Linda is trained in our whole selves, sexuality education facilitator, and holds an interdisciplinary master's degree from New York University, and it has worked at in the social change space for over two decades. Most recently, she was a founding director of a program on how to find and follow your purpose for a leading social entrepreneurship incubator, the original curriculum for which she has been used in over 200 colleges and universities. She continues to support other organizations committed to doing good as an expert in storytelling for social change. In addition to all of her impressive accomplishments, Linda is also a personal mentor of mine that I worked with after having stumbled across her book in early 2020, which I talked about in this episode and feeling like book broke something up in me and led me deeper into my healing in my relationship to my body and to my sexuality.

I am so excited to introduce you to Linda Kay Klein who, along with being a personal mentor of mine, has a list of accomplishments and credentials too long to list in these show notes!
She is the founder and president of Break Free Together, a nonprofit storytelling organization dedicated to helping people release shame and claim their whole selves, and a deconstruction & purity culture recovery coach.
While Linda's work has centered around helping people heal after purity culture, she has so many valuable insights around purpose and moving beyond the "good/bad" binary.
Her courage to write her book, Pure, even though it threatened to disrupt her relationships and sense of belonging in her community is so inspiring and paramount to the theme of Return to Wholeness.
