Episode notes

I wonder if some people like everything I feel like so often circles back to shame. Do you see this come up? Oh, absolutely,absolutely. And like that word should comes up a lot with shame, right? So whenever you find yourself uttering the should could would, that is typically like an invitation for you to dig a little deeper around what is making it difficult for you to go to that place. It's not a knock on you if you're not at that place. But I think recognizing that, you know, like, I don't know that I can be vulnerable in this relationship.

Esteemed therapist Dr. Joy Harden Bradford, in her new book Sisterhood Heals: The Transformative Power of Healing in Community, emphasizes the healing power of community to combat feelings of isolation. She discusses creating safe, vulnerable spaces and the importance of platonic relationships for genuine understanding and support.
