They say home is where the heart is.
But itâs not just about the places we liveâitâs about the people and connections that fill those spaces with warmth and meaning.
This week, I had the opportunity to chat with Camila Alves McConaughey, an entrepreneur, mother, and the founder of "Women of Today," a platform dedicated to empowering women by fostering a vibrant community that offers support, advice, and shared experiences. Camila discusses the community interactions on her journey, the pivotal role of community in personal well-being, and how sheâs used her platform to connect and empower women globally.
They also explore the transformative power of community, the importance of cultural identity in shaping our interactions, and how initiatives like "Women of Today" are pivotal in creating spaces for women to learn, connect, and grow together.

Friendships are supposed to last forever, right? But what happens when the people who once felt like home start feeling like strangers?
In this episode of A Really Good Cry, we dive deep into the bittersweet reality of outgrowing friendships. As we grow and change, so do our needs and desires, and sometimes that means the friendships weâve held onto for years no longer fit the person weâre becoming.
Iâll share my personal journey of recognizing when certain friendships were no longer serving me, and how I navigated the emotional turmoil that comes with letting go. Weâll explore the signs that indicate you might be outgrowing a friendâlike when conversations start to feel repetitive or when spending time together leaves you drained rather than energized. But this isnât just about saying goodbye; itâs about understanding that outgrowing a friendship doesnât mean failure. Instead, itâs an opportunity for growth, both for you and the other person.
If youâve ever felt guilty about outgrowing a friendship or wondered if youâre the only one going through this, this episode is for you. Tune in as we tackle the challenges of evolving relationships, offer tips on how to handle these transitions with grace, and ultimately remind you that itâs okay to move forward. After all, personal growth sometimes requires leaving old connections behind to make room for new ones.

How can you spot a narcissist?
It's quite a surprise to think that someone close to us might actually have those traitsâor maybe, in some ways, we share them ourselves. Narcissism isn't always obvious; it can hide in plain sight, making it tough to tell who's who and leading us to question whether we see it in others or within ourselves.
Today I welcome Dr. Ramani Durvasula, a clinical psychologist known for her expertise in narcissism, personality disorders, and mental health. She's authored several books, including "Should I Stay or Should I Go: Surviving a Relationship with a Narcissist" and âIt's Not You: Identifying and Healing from Narcissistic People".
In this episode of A Really Good Cry, Dr. Ramani dives into narcissism, breaking down what makes someone a narcissist and how it affects relationships and society. She talks about spotting narcissistic traits, whether they're innate or learned, and how tough it is to change these behaviors.
I hope this episode provides you with practical insights and a deeper understanding of narcissism, enabling you to navigate relationships with clarity and confidence.
