A Letter To My Sister

Releasing Miss Independent


Listen Later

Hey Sis! One thing that I wish was talked about more is the need to NOT be so independent. Maybe the focus should be on interdependence, especially if you desire to be in a relationship. Tune in now as my guest Tamika McTier and I discuss how to release our independency in order to be vulnerable and open in our relationships.
