What You’ll Learn From This Episode:

Are emotions the same as feelings? And how do you "feel your feelings"? In today’s episode, Madeline (ICF, CTI-trained coach) & Cynthia (Licensed Mental Health Counselor) explore the world of emotions.

We reveal that our emotions exist because they serve the vital function of attaching ourselves to what really matters and what we deem internally valuable.

We highlight that belonging and safety are two of the main feelings that we humans are hardwired to require for survival. Emotions also serve a valuable purpose in self-communication, and in helping us discern our values and goals. Our emotions can tell us what we need, or what is unhelpful.

Knowing those things can help guide our life and alter our choices, thus having the ability to change ourselves and create the meaningful lives we want.

Quotes for Reflection:

“Our feelings are our most genuine path to knowledge.”–Audre Lorde

Emotions come and go like waves, if we let them. The idea here is to ride the wave of emotion instead of trying to stop a giant wave and getting pushed around.
