The Virtuous Vagina – How To Leave Lust In The Dust & Find Clarity Through Chastity
In Katie Slade’s candid memoir The Virtuous Vagina, Slade shares her transformative journey from being dismissed from a 15-year career to bravely venturing into entrepreneurship. The story delves into the intricacies of her transition from a stable 9-to-5 job to the unpredictable realm of building her own business, notably through the development of a mobile app. Throughout the book, readers are privy to Slade’s personal evolution, marked by various encounters that shape her perspective on life, love, and self-worth.
The narrative touches on contemporary social dynamics, particularly regarding attitudes towards sex and relationships. The author contrasts the present-day openness around sexuality with past conservatism, highlighting a shift towards more liberal attitudes. Slade’s story becomes a conduit for discussing the challenges women face in modern dating landscapes, including navigating toxic relationships and societal pressures.
Slade shares her struggles with men who range from a detrimental ex-boyfriend to those with purely physical intentions, emphasizing the importance of self-respect and caution in romantic pursuits. A central theme of the book is the encouragement of chastity and self-empowerment for women. The author’s experiences serve as a mirror to the often tumultuous and demanding nature of contemporary dating, where encounters with narcissistic or manipulative partners are not uncommon. The narrative advocates for women to recognize their worth, resist being objectified, and cultivate strong personal and spiritual foundations. Slade emphasizes the significance of pursuing personal and professional success and seeking partners aligned with one’s values and beliefs. I found myself drawn to the story of an ambitious woman navigating these complex societal norms. Slade’s journey is not only about her entrepreneurial aspirations but also her stance against the diminishing regard for values like chastity and fidelity in today’s society.
The Virtuous Vagina – How To Leave Lust In The Dust & Find Clarity Through Chastity balances serious themes with moments of romance and humor, creating a multifaceted reading experience. Discovering that this book is part of a series was a pleasant surprise, and I am eager to continue following Katie Slade’s journey in subsequent installments. The narrative offers a thought-provoking reflection on modern social mores, corporate culture, and the pursuit of personal authenticity.

Healing Books For Women
This guide helps women identify their attachment wounds and help them reframe their thoughts to regain control over their relationships. What was the idea, or spark, that first set off the need to write Healing Your Attachment Wounds?
I’d not long self-published Women Going Sober when I experienced what I’d call a stark illumination of my wounded self. Researching Women Going Sober exposed me to Gabot Mate’s body of work, specifically his assertion that addictions originate in trauma and emotional loss. With this nugget of insight, I glimpsed how emotionally ill-formed I felt at my core. A harsh reality to own in my 60s! It dawned on me that I was showing up wounded in every relationship, be it with my partner, adult children, family, career choices, etc. This broken version of me was sabotaging any and all attempts to step fully into an authentic life I’d yearned for as a young girl. I wanted to understand what it meant to have attachment wounds, how I got them in the first place, and where the path to healing might take me. It was only a matter of months after publishing my first book that I launched into writing book #2 Healing Your Attachment Wounds.
What were some goals you set for yourself as a writer in this book?
The vision, when sitting down to write my healing books for women, bundled together as the Sisterhood series, was to blend the latest neuroscience research with an overlay of spiritual awakening, shared struggles and triumphs, peppered throughout with hope and sisterhood. I set out to create a relatable roadmap for personal transformation and healing that would guide my readers through issues emanating from attachment trauma.
In writing Healing Your Attachment Wounds, I imagined my readers would receive a comprehensive understanding of their attachment style and its effect on their interpersonal relationships.
I understood, as I embarked on this healing journey with my readers, I’d be taking courage to confront my own demons.
What is one thing that you hope readers take away from your book?
Healing implies emotional work. It requires us to put our suffering into perspective. To look for the gift wrapped up in the wounds we lay down. Letting go of our wounds, however, we got them in the first place, creates space for our story to be as magical as we can imagine. We commit to nothing less than a deeply loving opinion of ourselves.
Do you have future books planned for The Sisterhood Series? If so can you tell us what topics they will cover and when you expect them to be published?
Yes, I feel book #3 calling to be written. I took a road trip recently. It was a long, exhaustive 13-hour solo drive. Towards the end, I got a glimpse of the direction my next book in the Sisterhood series might take. I believe women, young and old, are on their own heroine’s journey to usher in personal transformation that will upshift us all. Using my own journey as the backdrop, as I did in books 1 and 2, might I create an impactful healing book that not only encourages transformative experiences but provides a roadmap to connect with and experience our heroic self?
