Let’s be honest — we’ve all had those days when our emotions feel overwhelming or our thoughts just won’t slow down. It’s frustrating, right? Especially when we catch ourselves thinking, “I shouldn’t feel like this,” and yet... we still do. These emotional moments tend to ripple into so many areas of our lives — from our relationships to how we view ourselves and even how we show up at work.
But here’s the good news: feeling our emotions is perfectly okay. What truly matters is how we respond to them.
Today’s guest is Dr. Alison Cook — a psychologist, podcast host, and the author of several books, including her latest, I Shouldn’t Feel This Way: Name What’s Hard, Tame Your Guilt, and Transform Self-Sabotage into Brave Action. For the past two decades, Alison has helped women, couples, and leaders process emotional pain, build inner confidence, and live more fully into their God-given identity.
