Sometimes it’s not the monsters under your bed . . . it’s the monsters IN your bed that have you scared! 😱

Sex-related anxieties are common, but they don’t have to keep you from living the life you want.

This spooky season, we’re revealing the oh-so-human needs underneath some of those monster-mask fears:

👻 Your body's “flaws”
You’ve probably heard it affirmed in a thousand different ways, but that doesn’t make it any less true: A partner that’s right for you won’t find fault with your body—even if you do.
This fear is telling you that you crave unconditional acceptance. And guess what? You deserve it.

👻 Unenthusiastic consent
If you’re afraid of being stuck in a painful (or even just straight-up not pleasurable) situation, take it as a sign from within: It’s time to build trust with yourself. Practice “yes” and “no” when the stakes are lower, and it might get easier in other aspects of life.

👻 STIs and unintended pregnancy
These fears are a prompt to fulfill the needs RHC is all about: education, empowerment, and access to reproductive care. If you're seeking support, it's here: https://incontrolnebraska.com/

It's National Coming Out Day! 🚪 🏳️‍🌈

Even as we celebrate with our out-and-proud q***r community, we hold in our hearts all those facing injustice.

So many structural forces keep people in the closet: workplace discrimination, social disenfranchisement, the threat of alienation from family and spiritual community, and more.

For anyone feeling alone today: Even if no one sees you yet, you are held in so much love. 🫶

It's time for another Shelf Care Spotlight! 📘🔦

Shelf Care, our virtual book club, will meet October 22 to discuss "Proud Flesh: A Memoir of Motherhood, Intimate Violence, and Reclaiming Pleasure" by Catherine Simone Gray. This title was selected to coincide with Domestic Violence Awareness Month, and we're excited to partner with Nebraska Coalition To End Sexual And Domestic Violence to bring you this meeting.

Gray’s 2025 title is a “memoir of healing trauma, finding pleasure, and redefining the joys of her body” upon motherhood. By turns tender and fierce, this insightful work reckons with buried trauma, pain, and pleasure. Told in two narrative streams (an unsteady present and a long-buried, unresolved past of s*xual violence and emotional abuse), “Proud Flesh” explores the galvanizing effect of Gray’s ultimately healing journey into motherhood.

October is Domestic Violence Awareness Month.

But what does awareness mean, exactly?

It starts with knowing what violence looks like. It’s not limited to what’s portrayed in the media, and it doesn’t have to leave literal marks.

According to the Department of Justice: “Domestic violence is a pattern of abusive behavior in any relationship that is used by one partner to gain or maintain power and control over another intimate partner.”

Abuse can be:
➡️ physical
➡️ s*xual
➡️ emotional
➡️ economic
➡️ psychological

This is more than a “family matter.” It’s a social epidemic, and it’s calling us to stand together in support of our friends and neighbors.

You already know safe s*x is an important part of s*xual health. But what about things like strong relationships, emotional safety, and personal fulfillment?

Beyond the physical stuff, emotional and mental wellbeing contribute to s*xual health too.

Save this post for when you need the reminder: Your s*x life has space for your whole self. 🩷

Why support s*x ed? The answers are all around us.

Did you know that in Nebraska, only 49% of s*xually active high schoolers use condoms?

When education improves, so does public health. 🩷

to the 2026 RALLY with Reproductive Health Collaborative Nebraska last week!

Hightower Reff Law was proud to join several community sponsors in supporting this year’s event, which brought together more than 100 people in support of protecting access to s*xual and reproductive health care across Nebraska.

The evening helped raise awareness about the challenges people face when accessing care throughout our state while building support for RHCN’s mission.

We’re grateful to have been one of the many organizations supporting an event centered on access, education, and community.

Thank you to Reproductive Health Collaborative Nebraska for the important work you continue to do across our state!

Say it with us: contraception is essential healthcare. 📣

That’s the message we drove home last week at Rally, our inaugural contraceptive access fundraiser. Thank you to the repro rockstars who joined us to bolster access and honor our first Reproductive Health Champion Award recipient, Jane Dinsdale-Rogers!

Together, we raised invaluable funds to directly support access for Nebraskans in need. We know that increased access to the full range of contraceptive methods benefits the health, education, economic stability, and overall well-being of our communities. This access shouldn’t depend on your zip code, but over 100,000 Nebraska women still live in contraceptive deserts—this is why we RALLY!

Help us as we work to close this gap! Make a contribution today: https://givebutter.com/rally-2026-donations
