    In this episode, we discussed the emotional wheel. It's essentially a visual tool that helps break down our feelings into categories. At its core, you have primary emotions like happiness, sadness, anger, and fear. Surrounding these, you find nuanced variations of those emotions, which can be really useful for identifying and understanding what you're feeling, especially when the words aren't immediately there.
