Robyn D’Angelo on the Importance of Connecting With Women
Do you feel isolated? Disconnected? If so, you’re not alone. In this episode of “Woman Worriers” Annapolis-based therapist Elizabeth Cush talks with Robyn D’Angelo, founder of The Wild Grace Collective, about women’s deep yearning for connection—with others and with self—and how to form the bonds that heal.
“I hope that every woman listening really finds that sisterhood she is craving, because we’re out here.”
Show Notes:
As a marriage and family therapist in southern California, Robyn D’Angelo, LMFT, kept hearing the same story from women she worked with: They were really, really lonely. They sensed something was missing, but they didn’t know what. Sometimes they blamed their spouse. But even when everything else in their life seemed OK, they felt isolated and disconnected. In this episode of Woman Worriers, therapist Elizabeth Cush, of Progression Counseling in Annapolis, Md., talks with Robyn about why women need to feel deep connection no matter what is going on with the rest of their lives, how the barriers that sometimes keep us from connecting with other women can provide opportunities for growth and self-knowledge, and practical ways to get the connection you crave.
