Emotional Longevity

Flex Your Feelings: The 7 Traits That Build Real Emotional Strength


Listen Later

What if the key to feeling more grounded, connected, and emotionally resilient wasn't about being perfect or calm—but about being prepared?

In this powerful episode of the Emotional Longevity Podcast, Dr. Elisha Goldstein sits down with Dr. Emily Anhalt, clinical psychologist, founder of Coa, and author of "Flex Your Feelings," to explore what it really takes to ride the edge of emotional discomfort without shutting down or checking out.


From breaking an emotional sweat to navigating modern challenges like AI companions and digital communication, Emily reveals the research-backed framework that transforms how we approach mental health, treating it more like going to the gym and less like going to the doctor.


In this episode, we explore:

  • The 7 traits of emotional fitness and why self-awareness is just the beginning
  • "Breaking an emotional sweat" - how discomfort becomes your greatest teacher
  • Why preparation beats perfection for handling life's inevitable challenges
  • The power of playfulness and how it signals safety in relationships
  • Resilience redefined - bouncing forward instead of bouncing back
  • Modern communication challenges including AI, emojis, and authentic connection
  • Imposter syndrome decoded - when external praise doesn't match internal dialogue
  • Personal stories of early career struggles and the gifts hidden in rejection
