Episode 283: How to Host a Healing Circle With Friends

In this episode of the Black Girls Heal podcast, I'm diving deep into how healing circles can transform your journey through love addiction recovery. After years of coaching women through attachment struggles, I've seen firsthand how creating the right community can accelerate healing in ways individual work simply can't.

We explore exactly how to build your own healing circle—from finding the right participants to establishing crucial ground rules that create safety for vulnerability. I share practical tips for structuring your meetings, developing a curriculum that promotes real growth, and navigating the inevitable conflicts that arise when people are doing deep healing work together.

In this episode, we cover…

02:35 - The sisterhood effect on healing
03:56 - How to create your own healing circle
09:16 - Setting your healing circle up for success
17:16 - Ground rules for safety
29:13 - Ways to structure your healing circle
