We explore the powerful concept of somatic coaching and how unresolved emotions stored in our bodies can sabotage our best attempts at positive thinking and personal growth. Jaclyn, our mindset coach, explains why affirmations sometimes fail to create lasting change and offers practical approaches to finally process stuck emotions.

• Somatic coaching focuses on the body (soma) rather than just the mind
• Unprocessed emotions remain stored in our nervous system, creating a mind-body disconnect
• Emotions are energy in motion—our body's natural response to stimuli
• Feelings represent the stories and meanings we attach to our emotional responses
• Unresolved emotions can create chronic emotional states like being perpetually edgy or angry
• Simple practices like journaling or screaming into a pillow can help move emotions through the body
• Processing emotions fully takes just minutes but prevents days or years of emotional "constipation"
• Bringing curiosity rather than judgment to our emotional responses transforms our relationships
