This episode is all about relationships. Join Yvette and Ericka as they chat about how they learned how to keep healthy relationships with their friends, partners and family. No one is perfect and neither is every relationship but there is a balance between imperfection and unhealthy. During this episode, Yvette and Ericka describe the “definition” of a healthy relationship, what that means to them and how they maintain healthy relationships today. “Your relationships can only be as healthy are you are. – Neil Warren”
The formal definition of "healthy relationships" describes it as being interdependent. Interdependence means you rely on each other for mutual support but still maintain your identity as a unique individual. In other words, your relationship is balanced. You know you have their approval and love, but your self-esteem doesn't depend on them.
Yvette and Ericka talk about what healthy means to them and what their individual journeys looked like to get to maintaining healthy relationships with their friends, partners, work colleagues and family.
