The One About The Sister Wound with Laura Hesp

Ep. 85

“If self-love and healing were on the other side of discomfort, would you have the courage to face your fears?" - Laura Hesp, Inclusive Love

 

Last year, Laura made a social media post about the “sister wound” and I found myself replaying that post in my mind over and over again. So in today’s episode Laura comes on the show to discuss the sister wound, how it played into our friendship history, and exploring healing from it. Laura is what she calls a “creative weirdo” but she’s someone who, for me personally, is always challenging to look inwards, be authentic and show up for you.
