24. Finding Yourself Through Heartbreak, Love, and Intimate Relationships with Erika Altomare.
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
Three best friends just spilling the tea about love, life, and friendships. Rebecca & Shay have one of their closest friends, Erika, who they both met through an online women’s community (the same one where Rebecca & Shay met!) to have a ‘real talk’ moment. Erika has been on a personal development journey of finding herself and accepting all parts of herself through the power of relationships. Whether it was a toxic partnership, expansive friendships, family dynamics, or a healthy love, Erika has navigated honest “Who am I?” moments as a result of her connection with other people. Relationships are our biggest and most profound teachers (if you let them be); Erika’s story and heroine's self-discovery journey is an unwavering testament to this. If you’re currently navigating the challenge of identity in relation to others, this episode is for you. Enjoy this unfiltered, fun, and vulnerable conversation between 3 friends who don’t shy away from deep heart talks.
This episode explores:
-The power and influence of online communities as a source of aligned friendships.
-Finding acceptance and honesty in who you are if you’re looking to create authentic friendships.
-A vulnerable practice to find acceptance of the self.
-Family as a catalyst to be better for the individual and collective relationships within the dynamic.
-Heartbreak and a toxic relationship as an avenue for an awakening of the true self.
-Learning how to let yourself be taken care of by a partner and softening into vulnerability after being “single and independent” for years.
-Childhood and adolescent dynamics with multiple father figures and how they influence a woman’s journey with dating men.
-Fun rapid (not so rapid) fire questions–movie recs, tv recs, book recs!
