I Have a Crush on a Coworker

She has a crush on her coworker, which feels thrilling and
unsettling all at once. Fresh off a divorce and shaped by earlier
relationships marked by instability and self doubt, she worries she
may be confusing desire with grief or slipping back into old
patterns. As she sorts through the pull she feels toward her
coworker, Esther helps her explore what this new spark might
actually mean. Together, they look at how to trust her instincts,
honor the reawakening she feels, and let something new unfold at a
pace that she can savor. Esther Callings are a one time, 45-60
minute interventional phone call with Esther. They are edited for
time, clarity, and anonymity. If you have a question you would like
to talk through with Esther, send a voice memo to
producer@estherperel.com. Producer’s Note: When our anonymous
guests do a session with Esther for the podcast, it is an act
of generosity for everyone who listens. These sessions are meant
not only to support the people in the room with Esther, but all of
us who learn from their stories. Our stories have many chapters,
and what you hear is just one moment in someone’s journey. So even
though the sessions are anonymous, please remember that real people
are behind them and they may be reading your comments. Also, please
join me on Entre Nous, my new home on Substack for anyone who wants
to live, love, and work with more connection and imagination. I
