PART TWO - Crying in the Bathroom by Erika L. Sánchez

Where do your beliefs about yourself and your worth come from? (And how do we change them!?)

We’re finishing up our discussion about Erika L Sánchez’s transformative memoir this week. My friend Diliana is back with more incredibly thoughtful moments and a few confessions about trying to adhere to early aughts beauty standards. We chat about what we allow ourselves to enjoy and what we feel guilty about indulging in and how Erika’s memoir allowed us to reflect on who we have been and who we want to be.

Special thanks to my dear friend, Diliana. You give me the freedom and encouragement to explore all ideas—good and bad. I think this was a good idea!
