In today's Daily Shift, we explore a common experience many people carry — the belief that their emotional responses are "too much," excessive, or wrong.

Often, when emotions rise, we turn inward with judgment instead of curiosity. But emotional reactions don't come from nowhere. They're signals — responses to boundaries being crossed, needs going unmet, or old patterns being activated.

This episode is an invitation to slow down and listen differently. Rather than asking what's wrong with you, we explore what your response might be protecting or asking for.

In this episode, we explore:

• Why strong emotional responses are often misunderstood

• How early experiences shape the way we judge our feelings

• The difference between being "too much" and being activated

• How to respond to emotions with curiosity instead of criticism

A gentle reminder from today's shift:

• You're not too much

• Your emotions are information

• What you're feeling deserves understanding, not judgment

Take a breath, pause, and allow this to be a moment of self-connection.
