Empaths Anonymous

Crystina Rowntree & Danielle Lamadrid

Crystina and Danie are just your everyday black and brown eldest daughters in their early thirties, embracing their cultures and trying to navigate life as the highest versions of themselves while struggling to keep it together and carry everyone else’s shit too.

What started as humorous wine nights asking “am I the crazy one here!?” turned into a deeper need for bigger conversations on empathy, cycle breaking and mental health within BIPOC communities – enter Empaths Anonymous, a space to cry, curse, and cuddle.

Get ready for it all — conversations surrounding mental and emotional health, personal growth, community, race and culture, and more!

Welcome to the support group, feelers!

Saying Goodbye To Liam Payne

Empaths Anonymous

10/30/24 • 79 min

Hi, Feelers! In this week's episode we say an emotional goodbye to Liam Payne after his recent passing. While we process his shocking and untimely death, we unpack:

The duality of grieving someone who didn't always do the right thing
Darkness in the music industry machine
Supporting people through substance abuse and mental health struggles
Grappling with the loss of the first death of a pop star for our generation
Sharing our memories as One Direction fans

We know grief looks different for everyone, but we encourage you to share your stories and memories and alchemize the pain into something creative. If you do, tag us! We'd love to see it!
