Why We Fight and How We Forgive (Soup & Stories Pt 1)

In Part 1 of Soup & Stories, Foster and Cesar gather a circle of creatives and close friends for an intimate, community-style storytelling session. What unfolds is a raw, emotional exploration of grief, family estrangement, marriage transitions, boundaries, forgiveness, and the complicated dynamics of long-term friendships. These stories weave together themes of emotional healing, self-compassion, and personal growth, anchoring the episode firmly in real-life transformation.Connect with the guests:Ari Haderspiritual explorer, mom and actor (Dexter, Grey’s Anatomy)Ari on IMDbco-host of Spiritual Practices of the Disgruntled Artist host of Magick and Manifestation for Actors IG: @arihaderisyourfriendDuane Benjamin composer, musician, and instructor at UCLA School of MusicYoutube: @duanebenjaminIG: @dben_jamin919Jamaal PittmanRobinson Prize award-winning copy editor, manager and screenwriterauthor of The Copy Editor's (Life)Style Guideco-founder of the Annie and Sallie Ann Wheeler Memorial ScholarshipIG: @jamaaldpittmanKatie Hallactor, wedding planner, FUCK YES energy cultivator & queer mama of two ✨IG: @theplantbasedbooIG: @bestdayeverla_eventsIf you enjoyed this episode, take a moment to follow Beauty in the Break on your favorite podcast app and leave a review—it really helps!Reach out to the show—send an email or voice note to [email protected] and be sure to follow on Instagram. Cesar Cardona:Receive his monthly newsletter Insights That MatterGet guided meditation from Cesar on his website Listen to music from Cesar + The Clew on Apple Music and SpotifyFoster Wilson:Buy her poetry book Afternoon AbundanceLearn about her postpartum servicesReceive her monthly newsletter Foster’s VillageCreated & Hosted by: Cesar Cardona and Foster WilsonExecutive Producer: Glenn MilleyThis episode is brought to you by Arlene Thornton & AssociatesSend us Fan Mail
