We’re diving back into our Health & Wellness Series today, and I’ve got a treat for you—Dr. Allison Cook is back! She’s one of your all-time favorite guests (and mine too), and every time she joins me, it’s like a masterclass in emotional health with a side of grace.

Allison is a brilliant therapist who helps women understand their emotions without shame—no guilt trips, no fluff, just real, practical wisdom. She has an incredible way of making life's messy parts feel manageable and even hopeful.

In this episode, we’re diving into a topic that's always relevant: how to handle emotions in a way that’s actually helpful. It's not just about managing them; it's about learning to make them work for you, not against you. This conversation is one you won't want to miss and will likely find yourself revisiting because it’s that good.
