Description

Sometimes feelings just don't make sense. And that’s okay, but understanding them should be a top priority. In order to really understand something, there are a few important factors, including comprehension, insight, and empathy. Understanding requires a huge effort towards cognitive engagement, and this episode encourages exactly that. In this episode, Lily vulnerably approaches a few ways to explore big emotions amidst life’s challenges and transitions. Lily discusses a few struggles she is currently facing, including a disconnect between her brain and her heart.
