In this episode, I’m joined by musician and songwriter Jennifer Tee (@Jenteemusic) to explore the role of catharsis in emotional release and how it supports emotional regulation. We discuss how catharsis can act as an outlet to process rather than suppress emotions, sharing personal experiences of navigating pain and trauma through journaling, conversations with friends, and physical activity. Jennifer also reflects on how her music has become more than just a creative expression for her but has been a profound and personal form of catharsis.

In this episode, I explore the common reasons behind our habit of suppressing emotions and how it can quietly impact both our mind and body. I also discuss the importance of allowing ourselves to feel and process our emotions as a step toward healing and growth. I’d love to hear your thoughts/comments - please share them with me! @beneathesurface.pod :)

In this first episode of Beneath the Surface, I open up about what led me to start this podcast—from living in fear of judgment to finally choosing myself. I also share the purpose behind creating this space and the topics I’ll be exploring, from self-growth and healing to navigating relationships and much more.
