It's Not About the Alcohol

EP213 Minisode:Small Emotions Have Big CONsequences


Listen Later

In today's episode, Colleen shares a story about a client who unsubscribed from her email list—and how that one glitch almost triggered a cascade of false assumptions, unspoken tension, and missed opportunity. It's a reminder that the smallest emotional reactions (the ones that barely register) are often the most dangerous. Because they go unchecked. Unquestioned. Unchallenged.

This episode will help you stop letting your emotions drive blind—and show you how to reroute your thinking so you can create a different future than your past.

💡 Key Takeaways:

  • Emotions are learned rules encoded into your body—and most never reach conscious awareness.

  • A belief is just a thought you stopped questioning.

  • Micro-assumptions shape your reality more than you realize.

  • What you feel first isn't always true—but it is always an opportunity.

  • If you want your future to be different, you have to stop bringing your past with you.

✨ Action Step: Pause today and ask: "Where am I assuming something without checking it?" Then get curious. Say the weird thing. Ask the uncomfortable question. You might be one honest conversation away from everything changing.
