Summary
It's one of those questions more women have than are willing to ask out loud. In this episode of Female by Design, Francie tackles the topic of pubic hair grooming — not from a medical or therapeutic chair, but from the spirit of let's just have the conversation. Because when we can talk about our bodies without shame, that's exactly where freedom grows.
This is not a moral issue. There is no law, no biblical mandate, no "Christian way" to groom. Francie opens by inviting listeners to release the tension that so often surrounds conversations about our bodies and sexuality, and to approach this one with curiosity instead of shame.
This one's practical, a little lighthearted, and totally judgment-free.
Resource Mentioned
The Vagina Bible: The Vulva and the Vagina — Separating the Myth from the Medicine by Dr. Jen Gunter — a physician-written, research-based guide to women's health covering everything from anatomy to menopause to grooming. A great resource to have on your shelf (and to share with your daughters as they grow).

| 0:00.0 | Welcome to the Female by Design podcast, an honest space for female flourishing. |
| 0:07.8 | I'm Francie Winslow. |
| 0:09.9 | Together we'll explore sexuality and spirituality by God's design, healing our relationship |

| 0:23.1 | So let's take a deep breath and step into God's invitation to live fully alive as women, |
| 0:30.9 | mind, body, and spirit. I'm so glad you're here. All right. Hello, everybody. |
| 0:37.8 | Welcome back to Female Buy Design. |
| 0:41.3 | It's Francie. |
| 0:42.0 | I hope you guys are doing well. |
| 0:44.1 | I am kind of in a mode where here and there I'm picking up some questions that I get asked |
| 0:50.0 | and that I think are great to have as conversation starters. |
| 0:54.0 | We're going to start the conversation here. and then I would love it if you took this |
| 0:57.2 | conversation to your spouse and had this conversation. |
| 1:01.0 | What do you think about this? |
| 1:02.5 | I will say I am not coming from a medical perspective or a therapeutic perspective. |
| 1:07.4 | I am licensed in neither. |
| 1:09.3 | So this is just essentially starting a conversation. |
| 1:13.3 | It would be great if you took it to your friends and we're like, hey, what do you guys think of |
| 1:16.3 | this and had conversations? Because in having conversations, in learning to communicate about |
| 1:21.9 | our sexuality without shame is where we grow and where freedom comes and where we stop the cycle of bondage and |
