from Healing Her Story with Riva Jean-Paul · host Riva Jean-Paul

Female friendships can be some of the deepest and most nourishing relationships in our lives—and also some of the most painful when they rupture.In this heartfelt continuation of our conversation, Amora and I go deeper into the process of repair—what it looks like to heal after hurt, to hold healthy boundaries, and to stay rooted in self-trust when connection feels fragile.We talk about the unspoken expectations and projections that often surface in female friendships, and how trauma—especially early attachment wounds—can shape the way we show up with other women. Together, we explore what it means to take responsibility for our own healing, without taking on what isn’t ours to carry.If you’ve ever found yourself asking…Why do I keep attracting the same painful friendship patterns?Why do I feel so anxious or guarded in relationships with women?How do I know when to repair, and when to let go?—This episode will help you see those dynamics through a trauma-informed lens.You’ll leave this conversation with more compassion for your own story, clarity around boundaries, and the reassurance that it is possible to have safe, supportive, soul-nourishing friendships as you healSend us Fan Mail Our intro and outro song, Reclamation (Reborn), is an anthem of remembering.This song was created as a companion for the healing journey, especially for women reclaiming their voices, their rhythms, and their belonging in a world shaped by patriarchy.You’re invited to listen, feel, and let the music meet you wherever you are.Looking for support?
