What’s the difference between noticing and objectifying? This week Luke welcomes guest Stephen Thomas (fellow coach at Choose Recovery Services). Their conversation will challenge your perspective on what healthy sexuality looks like and reveal the hidden costs of reducing people to their physical appearance.
Learn:
The crucial difference between noticing attractiveness and objectifying someone
How objectification hurts both strangers and your own partner (even when they're not around)
Why becoming a "protector" instead of a "consumer" leads to deeper intimacy and authentic connection
