We’re in our FEELS today, baby. I’m bringing you a slightly longer epi (per your feedback on IG) that dives deep into why we stuff down our true emotions so much, why that is SO bad for us, and how we can break the toxic ass cycle of emotionally numbing and distracting ourselves from how we REALLY feel. We’ll also talk about how sometimes we even hold ourselves back from feeling true joy because we’re punishing ourselves for the past or we think we don’t deserve to be happy. Are you dealing with grief from losing a person you loved to death? Have you been struggling through the aftershocks of a tough breakup? A lost job? A broken dream?? Have you been spending HOURS on your phone to distract yourself from how low you actually feel inside? Are you a man who has fallen into the trap of toxic masculinity and adopted a hard exterior that hides your true emotions? If you can say “yes” to any of these, this epi is for you baby!!! Life is a beautiful mess full of SO MANY ups and downs. Let’s talk about how we can embrace that truth and stop trying to avoid the low moments.
