Learning to Identify Your Feelings | #2
In this episode of Filter Optional, hosts Chico and Shannon West dive into the messy—but freeing—work of learning to identify your feelings. Too often, we confuse emotions like frustration or nervousness with the deeper truths underneath. Drawing from years of coaching, counseling, and personal experience, Chico and Shannon break down why so many of us mislabel our feelings, why we often see emotions as “negative,” and how that keeps us stuck in unhealthy patterns.
You’ll learn:
- The difference between surface reactions and core feelings like fear, pain, anger, shame, guilt, loneliness, and joy.
- How cultural and gender messages shape the way we process emotions.
- Why saying “I’m fine” masks what’s really going on—and how to start uncovering the truth behind it.
- Simple tools and first steps for practicing emotional awareness in real time.
This is the baseline—the foundation—for everything to come on Filter Optional. Because once you can name your feelings, you can begin to investigate them. And when you investigate your feelings, you reclaim your freedom.
