"Happy, healthy, and independent people understand the power of sorrow."

What if your shortcut to happiness has been with you since birth—but was silenced to keep others comfortable? This week, we're digging into distress tolerance—the skill that helps us hold sorrow without bypassing it. Many of us were raised in emotionally dismissive environments, and it’s time to unlearn that conditioning.

You’ll learn why distress tolerance is vital for emotional health, how avoidance keeps us stuck, and what it means to re-parent your inner child with presence and compassion. Whether you're a parent or not, this episode will remind you that feeling your feelings is not weakness—it’s wisdom.
