58. Compassionate Conversations with Monica DiCristina, LPC

In this week's conversation I am back with one of my closest friends, Monica DiCristina, LPC as we share personal stories in the form of heart talk.  In this episode, Tasha and Monica combine their years of training and therapeutic practice to address this all too often oversimplified question: What does it really mean to love yourself? It is  our way of answering the questions stemming from one of the most foundational parts of mental health - loving and accepting yourself. I also briefly discuss Internal Family Systems and what it means to connect with Self during the healing process.

Monica DiCristina is a therapist with over fifteen years of experience in mental health. She runs a private practice in Atlanta, GA serving individuals and couples in therapy.

Today's episode is all about honoring Oprah Winfrey. I am joined by my friends Andrea Kingsley-Miller, Cha Sears-Barefield, Marcie Alvis-Walker, and Monica DiCristina.

I wanted a fun episode with some of my closest sisters and what better way to spend time with them than on a podcast talking about someone we all admire and have looked up to since childhood. We each share our earliest memories, what we've learned from Oprah, our own AHA moments, and what we would say to Oprah if ever given the chance. We love you Oprah and hope you know what a profound impact you've had on us and millions all over the world.
