revelations about ourselves: strong people cry, emotional regulation & the shock of being a lover girl | fingers crossed ep. 39

This episode is all about revelations we've had about ourselves and each other, the things that genuinely surprise us even after knowing each other for years.


Meg doesn't cry, so the fact that Erica cries almost daily (classic Pisces energy) is something she can't wrap her brain around. Especially because Erica presents as such a strong person outwardly, but we get into how strong people can also be deeply sensitive. We unpack the false binary between strength and emotion, and why we're taught those two things can't coexist.


Meg opens up about how she has difficulty being around people when she's in a bad mood and how that impacts herself and others. She's also shocked that she can actually support herself as a freelancer, something she never thought was possible. Erica, who has been ambitious since birth, is genuinely surprised to realise she's actually a lover girl at her core.


It's vulnerable, revealing, and the kind of conversation that makes you question who you think you are vs who you actually are.


🎙️ Fingers Crossed is a mental health and life podcast hosted by Erica and Megan.
