today i sit down with a soul mate of mine, carmen barkley. this episode feels a bit like meeting someone’s family for the first time. carmen is exceptionally honest about some of her most challenging chapters in life. in this episode we dive into:

• gushing about our friendship and how it’s changed over time

• the importance of a safe friendship

• the impact of bullying on our beliefs

• how childhood wounds translated into how we showed up in our relationships

• the dangers of loving a partner more than you love yourself

• how she felt trapped in an abusive relationship and how she pulled herself out

• ways she’s finding herself

• how openness and compassion brings us closer

carmen’s vulnerable is really inspiring and her story can really help so many people to feel seen, less alone, capable, and loved. hopefully seeing through a window into someone else’s life will help you all feel more empowered to be honest and loving with yourself and others.
