30. Why Avoiding Your Emotions or Identifying as "Not Emotional" is Keeping You Stuck


Listen Later

If you’ve ever felt disconnected from your emotions — like they’re too much, or not welcome, or like they just… don’t come up the way you think they should — this episode is for you.

In this honest and messy (in a good way) conversation, I unpack how our childhood can impact our relationship to our emotions. I share my own story, the beliefs I picked up about what it meant to be “easy,” the classic oldest daughter narratives I picked up, and how that shaped the way I relate to feelings now.

You’ll hear:

✨ What emotional disconnection actually looks like (and how it hides in plain sight)

🧠 Why awareness isn’t enough — and how to actually rewire the deeper patterns

💬 The moment I realized being helped made me uncomfortable (and why that mattered)

😶‍🌫️ How perfectionism, emotional suppression, and “being the easy one” are all connected

💡 The surprising beliefs that sit beneath your resistance to feeling

If you’ve ever felt numb, tense, overly responsible, or like feeling might make you a burden — you’re not alone. And you’re not broken.

🎧 Listen in — and start to reconnect with a part of you that’s been waiting to be heard.
