Sexual shame w/ Janice Selbie

Date Aired: April 30, 2025

Produced By Janice Formichella

Breakups, Broken Hearts, and Moving On is a weekly podcast about healing broken hearts, building confidence, and moving forward in an empowered way. It is the perfect balance of science, spirituality, and sass.

With a heavy dose of optimism, I share what I’ve learned from personal experience AND as a breakup coach to help you though this time.

With over 200 episodes, it is more than a podcast, it is a resource library for people on any phase of their breakup healing journey.

“Ask yourself: who gave me this message? How old was I? What was their role in my life?”

Divorcing Religion author and podcast host
