Emely and Cynthia have been vulnerable in the voice notes and flourished a friendship unique to two Latina therapists living in busy cities raising babies and reading books. This episode airs on Emely’s birthday on purpose because this conversation is a celebration of Emely’s work, her gifts, and her grace. Cynthia and Em talk about their inner child altars, books that were there for them in hard times, and Em details her intuitive bibliotherapy rituals and practice of bibliomancy to work intuitively with each client.
