164. A New Way to Understand Your Emotions — And the Analogy You’ll Never Forget


Listen Later

In this episode of Wellness: Rebranded, we explore one of the most memorable emotional intelligence analogies you’ll ever hear: “Emotions are like farts.”

It’s funny, unexpected, and shockingly accurate and it opens the door to a deeper conversation about what emotions really are, why they matter, and how to build a healthier relationship with them.

Join us as we break down why emotions aren’t “good” or “bad,” why suppressing them always backfires, and how understanding your emotional patterns becomes your internal GPS for living a more aligned, grounded life.

In this episode:

  • Why emotions are natural, unavoidable, and meant to be felt
  • The real meaning of emotional intelligence (and why it matters for mental health)
  • How fear shows up in everyday decision-making
  • How to identify emotions beyond the basic five
  • Why naming emotions increases self-awareness and reduces stress
  • How childhood, modeling, and family dynamics shape emotional expression
  • Why your reaction — not the emotion itself — determines the outcome
  • Simple tools to start recognizing your emotions, including the feelings wheel and journaling
