PARADISE FOUND TRAILER

When friendship becomes almost familial what does a real sisterhood look like? I speak to Aba Mfrase-Ewur on this episode of Paradise Found. Aba is a herbalist, model, and multidisciplinary artist. Aba and I have been friends since 2018 and stuck by each other during the global pandemic, intertwining us forever on. During this time we've grown through so much together and the meaning of sisterhood and friendship has expanded for us deeply. This one is for all the "sisters" who aren't actually our sisters but who are sisters.

2024 is the year of self-compassion, self-honesty, and self-forgiveness. Compassion is Sexy! Paradise Found Season 2 Starts Now. Check out Paradise Found The Substack.

In this very vulnerable solo episode, I talk about healing from a toxic family structure. As a child, I grew up feeling very "orphaned" because of the way I was raised. My personal healing journey has required a lot of introspection and inner child / inner teenager work. As the holiday season approaches many of us are feeling isolated and triggered. This episode is a wonderful reminder that there are many tools available to those of us who don't have the picture-perfect family and feel wounded and ashamed because of it. I talk about the work it takes to heal and reparent ourselves as well as the reality of having to cut off or walk away from our families. There's much work to be done but this conversation feels like one worth starting. Check out Dr. Nicole La Pera, whose work is mentioned in this episode, here.
