In this episode, I talk to one of my favorite people, Symone Stamps, cohost of "The Brown Girl Element" podcast. We discuss healing journeys and delve into the exhausting nature of these journeys, highlighting the importance of stepping away from the victim mentality and holding ourselves accountable. We explore how personal growth can lead to a different perspective on our relationships – discerning between genuine connections and trauma bonds. Additionally, we delve into the significance of friendships and the evolving dynamics they entail. It's crucial to meet our friends where they are on their individual paths. This episode is so f*cking good, and I hope you all feel as inspired as I have by this insightful conversation.
