With Dr. Kimberly Rose Pendleton

This is for the woman who wants more freedom in her intimate life, and who is ready for pleasure, sensuality and feeling like a goddess to be the NORM... 

Purity culture makes people feel like their bodies are dirty, their desires are suspect and sinful, and that pleasure should be avoided at all costs.

For the women I work with, there is no more dangerous force on the planet.

Whether you grew up religious, are still a devoted believer, have left it all behind, or simply feel that these cultural norms have bought their way into you somehow... whether you ever bought in to them or not... you are welcome here.

ONCE I was ready to heal this part of me, I decided that I was willing to do whatever it took, even if the journey was going to be painful, hard, and expensive.  

And to be honest... it kind of was. 

I read everything I could get my hands on about sexual healing & sexual freedom. I got my Masters from Yale and my PhD, publishing work on sex trafficking and sexual healing in academic journals, while I supplemented my work with my own trauma healing & training, ten years of healing modality work, therapy, coaching, and support.  

I reconsidered my relationship with church, with God, and with my body.

I found my way home.

I found a way to uncover who I had been all along: free, healed, whole, sexy, passionate, alive, divine. 

I committed to creating something that wove together all that I had learned, experienced & felt. I wasn't just going to do this for me.

I was going to do this for all of us. 

Hi, I’m Dr. Kimberly Rose Pendleton

Trauma-informed intimacy coach. Scholar. Feminine Business Mentor.

And a woman who knows what it’s like to want freedom - and feel terrified to claim it.

I led Bible Studies. Married the “right” man. Said the prayers.
I was the “good girl.”
The one who waited.
The one who believed that if I followed the rules, I’d be happy - safe, whole, loved.

But when everything fell apart - when the self doubt, betrayal, and silence cracked through the surface - I realized something devastating:

I had traded my aliveness for approval.

And even after I "knew better", the shame stayed with me.

That’s when my real journey began.

Not just toward deconstruction, but toward reclamation.

Toward uncovering.

I studied shame. Intimacy. Healing.
I got a Masters in Religion from Yale.
I got my PhD in Women’s Studies and Trauma Theory.

I devoted my life to understanding how we break free - and what it takes to actually feel safe, powerful, and pleasured in our bodies again.

And now, I help other women do the same.

This work isn’t just intellectual. It’s intimate.

It’s sacred.
It’s personal.

It’s for every woman who is ready to stop performing healing and actually feel free.

Pleasure After Purity Culture is my most personal offering.

It’s not about shaming your past.
It’s about unlocking your future.

You deserve to want.
To touch and be touched.
To eat and savor.
To create and rest. To not feel guilty for making money, having fun or feeling beautiful.

To live like your life belongs to you - because it does.

Let me show you how.

The Curriculum

Three potent, sacred modules to unwind shame and unlock freedom.

MODULE 1: SHAME

You are not wrong for wanting.

Purity culture taught us to be afraid of our desires - especially sexual ones.
But what if your desires are not distractions, but divine direction?

In this module, you will:

Identify and release inherited shame around your body and pleasure

Discover how purity culture taught us to distrust ourselves (and how to reclaim that trust)

Rewire the story: your desire is not dangerous. It’s holy.

MODULE 2: FOOD

  Purity culture and diet culture are sisters.
It whispers into our kitchens, our closets, our mirrors.
It taught us to control ourselves - not just sexually, but physically.

In this module, we explore how diet culture and purity culture intersect to make women hate their hunger, the myth of “modesty” as a moral obligation and how to reclaim food, nourishment, and sensuality as spiritual practice.

 Create new relationship to your hunger - literal and metaphorical

 Let yourself eat, move, and dress from pleasure, not punishment

 Give yourself permission to take up space. Fully. Without apology.

MODULE 3: MONEY

You can be trusted with money, power and freedom.

We were taught to want less... in every area. To see how little we could get by on. 

That excess, indulgence and luxury were pathways to sin. Dangerous. 

So you may have kept yourself in scarcity, in fear, and in lack. Good girls don't ask for more. Good girls don't make millions.

Here is the truth: you, struggling was a version of you who was easier to control.

It was never about keeping you holy, it was always about keeping you from your own power.

Uncover the money stories rooted in purity culture and religious conditioning

 Break the internalized fear that 'too much' success will make you unlovable 

 Call in financial abundance without guilt 

Reclaim your right to earn, spend, and give from a grounded, empowered place

 Because your abundance doesn't threaten your spirituality. It expands it. 

We are living in a time of reckoning about women's power.

Roe v. Wade overturned.

Modesty rhetoric on TikTok.

Trad wife influencers growing platforms by teaching women to shrink.

Even if you’ve left the church, or never went at all, purity culture is alive in the systems we live under.

It shows up every time you:

...Apologize for being “too much”

...Feel guilty for enjoying dessert

...Dim your light so a man doesn’t feel emasculated

...Avoid intimacy because you still freeze up

...Sabotage your income because success feels unsafe

You don’t need to live in reaction anymore.
It’s time to live in reclamation.
