“You’re so strong.” “Hold it together.” “Put on a brave face.” Do any of these statements sound familiar to you? A lot of us grew up striving for perfection — whether it was in our achievements, in our relationships, or with our emotions. But what if we could start to see the beauty in our breakdowns? Instead of trying to keep it all in, we let it out and find release. Think of it like a kettle of hot water: it needs to blow some steam, or it will boil over. Well loves, the same thing happens when we neglect to regulate our emotions. In this episode, I walk you through healthy coping mechanisms for moving through challenging moments, normalizing the suck, and how to do this work, particularly in your relationships.
