#93: 4 (no, 5!) Things I Wish I'd Known about Emotions Sooner


Listen Later

If you're on a mission to understand yourself better, so you can both have more self-compassion and be more equipped to handle the heavy machinery that is YOU, this episode is spot on.

I've pinpointed 5 things I've learned about emotions over the course of my 6+ years Coaching, during which there's constant ongoing education and training.

These are 5 things I actually wish I'd known sooner — because of the impact they've had on aforementioned self-compassion, -understanding and -direction.

Whatever your emotional literacy or level of awareness, I'm positive you'll hear something you need to hear today!

We explore:

  • Where emotions come from
  • How your brain processes emotions (heads up — this is wild)
  • The reasons emotions happen (aka the data you can find in them)
  • Their less-than-90-second chemical lifespan
  • Why it's good to know your "window of tolerance" for emotions
