The More Sibyl Podcast Presents: The One with Tolu - Of Female Friendships, Shared Spaces, and Empathy

Here’s a bold story for you on female friendships and how sometimes, it is not organically formed. And how when you get to a space in your life, and you find yourself in shared spaces with some people and realize that you may have been probably wrong about them all along.

Today’s story is about Tolu. She and I go way back; we went to college together. Tolu is a medical doctor and a researcher who’s based in Denver, Colorado. In this episode, which was taped in Denver, Tolu and I examined our paths – the times they did not cross and when they finally did. And the circumstances and commonalities that brought us together. Her story is one of hope and God’s presence, especially in our darkest, lowest times.

More importantly, this episode is also how to walk away from the intergenerational cycle of pain, the burden of firstborns, grieving the childhood you never had, and loving oneself.

Take away Points

·Once you get to KNOW and LOVE someone, it will be very hard to judge them
Take time to mourn the childhood you never had; gief counseling can help with this.
Take your own advice and practice self-love.

Reflections

When navigating parental wounds, it might help first to ask what the childhood of your parents looked like. My prayer for you is to be seen, heard, and known and loved as you truly are.
