In this emotionally layered bonus episode of Selective Ignorance, Mandii B leads a courageous conversation around the realities of sexual exploration, trauma, and the path to healing. With vulnerability at the forefront, the discussion leans into the complicated truths of consent, abortion, and sexual assault, centering personal stories as both testimony and release.

[00:00] The episode opens with a raw unpacking of the emotional and physical consequences that can come with early sexual exploration, including how societal pressures and lack of proper education shape formative experiences.

[19:52] The conversation shifts toward the topic of abortion, with the hosts reflecting on how personal choice is often weighed down by shame, judgment, and unspoken grief.

[32:28] Childhood memories and family dynamics are revisited, illuminating how early emotional environments influence later relationships, self-worth, and personal boundaries.

[35:48] The topic of abortion returns through the lens of cultural and societal expectations, calling out the stigmas that persist and the silence they impose.

[37:52] The discussion deepens with an unflinching look at the impact of sexual assault and the long shadow it can cast, exploring how trauma affects intimacy, trust, and identity.

[48:45] As the episode closes, the conversation comes full circle—examining how childhood wounds, both seen and unseen, often reemerge in adult relationships, and how acknowledging those wounds is the first step toward healing.

At its core, this episode is a powerful reminder that healing is nonlinear, often messy, but always possible. Through open dialogue, self-reflection, and empathy, Selective Ignorance offers a safe space for reclaiming power, rewriting narratives, and finding strength in the process.
