A Peek Inside a Personal Conversation with My Friend Riessa Monique

In this episode of The Emotional Abuse Recovery Podcast, host Allison K. Dagney sits down with her friend and life coach, Riessa Monique, for an open and honest conversation. Riessa, who specialises in helping women in tech reduce stress and build confidence, shares her experiences working in male-dominated industries and the unique challenges that come with it. Their chat is not just about professional life but also dives into personal growth and healing.

They reflect on their journey together through 'listening partnerships', a practice where they take turns talking and listening without interruption. This method has been a game-changer for both, allowing them to process their thoughts and emotions deeply. Riessa talks about the importance of recognising different parts of oneself, like 'little blue ribbon Allison', a metaphor for seeking external validation from childhood.

The discussion touches on how these internal voices shape our behaviour and how reparenting oneself can be a powerful tool for healing. Whether you're dealing with stress at work or trying to understand your inner child, this episode offers relatable anecdotes and practical advice. Tune in to gain a fresh perspective on emotional recovery and self-compassion.
