In this heartfelt and unfiltered episode of Embracing the Fight, Erica Lamar dives deep into the conversations we are and aren’t having—with our children, ourselves, our families, our friends, and with God. She unpacks why creating the right environment for each conversation is critical: Kids — A safe and nurturing space where they can share without fear. Yourself — A vulnerable, accepting space to confront your own truth. Family — An open and honest space where understanding can flourish. Friends — Reciprocity and balance in giving and receiving. God — A genuine, reverent dialogue rooted in faith. These conversations shape our emotional, mental, physical, and spiritual health. Erica shares how what you say—and how you say it—can help heal after tragedy, impart wisdom, and even deflect thoughts of suicide. She reminds us: a conversation is not a lecture. It’s a two-way exchange of listening, sharing, and connecting.

Welcome back to *Embracing the Fight*! In this powerful episode, **"Healing is not Weakness,"** we dive deep into why taking time to heal—mentally, physically, and emotionally—is *never* a sign of weakness. So often, we rush ourselves to "get back to normal" because of how others may perceive us during our healing journey.

Pushing yourself too soon can cause more harm than good. This episode encourages you to release the pressure of outside opinions and focus on *how* you heal, not on how it looks to others.

In this deeply personal episode, Erica opens up candidly and transparently. "Self Inflicted" dives into the raw truth behind her failed marriage, the impact of her own decisions, and the growth that comes from owning your story. This episode isn’t about blame—it’s about accountability. Erica shares candid reflections on what she thought she wanted, what she actually got, and how those experiences shaped her. With honesty and grace, she reminds us that our choices shape our outcomes—and many of life’s wounds are self-inflicted. This is not a slight toward anyone, especially not her ex-husband, but rather a call for introspection and personal responsibility. If you’re navigating heartbreak, growth, or seeking clarity on your path, this episode is for you. 🎧 Tune in and remember: You have the power to choose—and the power to heal. 🔔 Don’t forget to like, comment, and subscribe for more real-life conversations that help you fight through and flourish. #EmbracingTheFight #SelfInflicted #PersonalGrowth #HealingJourney #Accountability #LifeChoices And if you haven't already, please subscribe to Embracing the Fight on YouTube and all other Social Media Platforms!
