Ep. 26 - Exploring the sister wound with guest Lisa Dugger

Join my dear friend Lisa Dugger and I while we talk organically about the sister wound. Lisa also wrote a blog post about this subject based on our conversation. Check it out here! Today, we're diving deep into the tender, often unspoken realms of sisterhood and the "sister wound." In this heartfelt conversation, I'm joined by my dear friend Lisa Dugger, as we explore the complexities of connections with the women in our lives. Together, we unpack the layers of disconnection and longing that many of us have felt since childhood, searching for that bridge to healing and authentic presence. We'll discuss the challenging dynamic of "fawning"—the tendency to people-please to maintain a sense of safety in relationships—and how this response can prevent us from forming truly fulfilling bonds with others and so much more.
