They dive into embracing rest as a vital part of the process—not a sign of laziness—and reflect on the power of learning from differences rather than fearing them.

Hey Beautiful! In this raw and heartfelt episode, Roberta opens up about her upbringing in Brazil, navigating life with a mother struggling with bipolar disorder and manic depression. She shares her journey of moving to the U.S. alone as a young adult in search of distance and healing, only to find herself entangled in a toxic five-year relationship that mirrored old wounds.  With compassion and insight, co-host Kristy, an energy medicine practitioner, offers a powerful metaphor: it’s time to drop the rotten apples — the painful memories, relationships, and beliefs, and let them decompose into fertile ground for something new. Together, they explore how even the most difficult chapters can nourish transformation, growth, and unexpected beauty.  This conversation is a reminder of the power of friendship—the importance of holding space for one another to process pain, release old wounds, and find healing in the presence of someone who truly listens.  I hope you enjoy it and share your thoughts at kristyandroberta@gmail.com, and follow us at Instagram @heybeautifulpods!
