08. Are you holding space for your grumpy? It's not always about "putting on your happy face," but it's about being true to your emotions and feeling comfortable expressing them. 

In today's episode, let's discuss why we should welcome the spectrum of emotions—not just the ones we like or the ones that society says are okay. When we learn how to process all our feelings effectively, we no longer need to suppress the negative emotions. We can actually get through things better, then reframe, and move on with the rest of our day. 

In this episode, we discuss: 

• Why expressing your grumpy feelings is not always a bad thing 
• Identifying when to feel your feelings 
• How to hold space for non-optimistic emotions 
• The beauty of authentic self-expression 
• Being there for your friends, family and communities 
• When to seek help if your grumpy gets out of control
