Insecurities were one of the factors that led to my breaking point with my parents. When I was in middle school, I was asked on a date and I really wanted to go. And I finally worked up the courage to tell my mom and she completely shut me down. So it took me others until I got to college that I really was in a serious relationship for the first time. It was actually crazy when we finally started sharing. We were going through a lot of similar things and really crazy similarities in our relationships.
Today, we’re sharing an episode of Where Should We Begin?, a Vox Media podcast hosted by the iconic psychotherapist Esther Perel. Listen in as real people in search of insight bare the raw, intimate, and profound details of their stories.
In this episode, a Where Should We Begin first, Esther sits down with two friends. They’ve been close for so long they feel like brothers, with all of the baggage that comes with family but none of the certainty. There are things that go unspoken between them, issues they have skimmed over in their two decades of friendship. Esther creates the space for the conversation they didn't know quite where to begin. This session was recorded in collaboration with NPR's Invisibilia and a sibling episode with Esther can be heard on their podcast.
Kara & Nayeema will be back Thursday with a fresh episode of ON.
