Welcome to the Desire Series

By Heidi Smith, Leela Zander & Jessica Harris

Do you feel stuck? You're not alone.

If you struggle with sexual desires that feel like they’re taking over your life — you’re in the right place.

If you’re carrying secrets that you think don’t belong in the life of a normal woman, especially a Christian — you’re in the right place.

We were there too until we heard the stories of people like us, and slowly felt safe enough to tell our own.

We want to be part of your journey.

Heidi, Leela & Jessica




P.S. — If you've landed on this page and you're a man, think about going to our Flesh series for men.
