Your emotions are like the GPS to your psyche. They're the signposts that help you lead a life of happiness and fulfillment.

But the problem most achievers have is that they've learned to repress their emotions in order to achieve success. This is an insidious Catch 22—by repressing your emotions you cannot fully celebrate your accomplishments.

This nasty habit of emotional repression also extends to your dating life and relationships. Repressed emotions deter you from creating deeper connections, plaguing you to a life of loneliness.

That's the bad news.

The good news?

Repressing your emotions isn't a life sentence. In fact, there's a simple 4-step process you can follow to stop this habit before it sabotages your happiness even more than it already has.

In today's episode, you'll discover why repressing your emotions is so lethal, how it shows up in your career and relationships, and how to stop repressing them.
