In this episode, Cilia discusses the origins of toxic relationships, emphasizing that they often begin in the home. She shares her personal experiences and insights on how family dynamics, communication, and emotional abandonment shape our relationship patterns.
Cilia highlights the importance of understanding and healing the mother and father wounds to break free from toxic cycles and cultivate healthy love. The conversation encourages listeners to explore their past, seek therapy, and embrace their true selves in relationships.
A few takeaways:
-Toxic Relationship patterns begin at home (so healing them begins with working on mother/father wound work)...Here's my free Mother Wound Healing guide: https://selfexpressedbabe.myflodesk.com/mother-wound-healing-guide
-Self awareness is key to know what patterns you've picked up, even if you're currently in a relationship (working on these things will help you feel closer in your current relationships)
-Part of why this is happening beginning at home is ALL of us are conditioned by Patriarchy. I spoke on this briefly in the episode but honestly this is a whole separate episode I can get into

Taking a bold, unfiltered look into modern love, romance, and self-discovery, Boysober will dive into messy stories about dating, sex, love, friendship, and breaking generational patterns—all with humor, vulnerability, and a fresh perspective.
