In this episode, we dive into a topic that’s relevant to everyone at some point in their lives—how to be okay with not being okay. Whether you’re going through heartbreak, dealing with a difficult situation at work or home, or just feeling like you want the pain to disappear, this episode is for you.

I explore how many of us, growing up, weren’t taught to sit with our feelings. Instead, our parents or caregivers tried to make us feel better as quickly as possible, unknowingly teaching us to avoid discomfort. As a result, many of us never learned how to regulate our emotions, which often manifests in adulthood as an inability to handle challenging situations calmly.

Key topics in this episode include:

• Why we avoid uncomfortable emotions and how it impacts us as adults
• The importance of learning to sit with your feelings rather than immediately comforting yourself
• How social media, Netflix, and other distractions prevent us from regulating our emotions
• Practical steps to retrain your nervous system and become more emotionally resilient
• Why insight alone isn’t enough—you need to apply what you’ve learned to truly change your behaviour

If you’ve struggled with feeling overwhelmed by emotions or find it hard to return to a calm state after being challenged, this episode will provide you with practical tools and guidance to start creating lasting change.

Listen in and discover how to be more present with your emotions and why it’s okay to not always have everything together.
