We all have moments when emotions feel too heavy, so we reach for something—our phones, food, shopping, Netflix—to take the edge off. It works for a minute, but those "buffers" don't solve the mess, they just hide it. In this episode, I'll help you start to notice some of your buffers, and start to understand how they might actually be limiting you more than helping you. I'll share how you can keep the lights on--which may feel super uncomfortable in the moment--but it's the path to real freedom.
