    Dealing with closure + Wellness guidance

    Dealing with closure + Wellness guidance

    In this episode The Virtual Homegirls deep dive into some of the challenges they are currently facing in life. This feeds into many different topics including: dealing with closure, healing from lost friendships, family loss, etc. Challenges come across everyone's path every single day and people deal with it differently so we don't expect everyone to be ready to talk about it. Listen to our Virtual Homegirls on how they deal with their private matters and how they will hold each other accountable and be there for one another in times of need. We get vulnerable and open hearted so we hope you enjoy this one. Feel free to message us on instagram if you'd like to hear more episodes like this @wlproject__!
