Hey, hey!This week I'm sharing about how I'm learning to lean into relationships with Black women that allow me to experience more closeness, sisterhood, safety....basically INTIMACY. If you were taught that intimacy is bad, or that it is only about sex, this episode is definitely for you because it's something that I was conditioned to believe as well. I'm healing and liberating myself from toxic untruths so thought this episode might serve you in some way as well.Advertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brandsPrivacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy
