SHOCK & Y’ALL

Hey y’all, today’s episode is a special one. 

I’ve got my friend Jenna Scott with me, and let me tell you - she is EPIC. Literally. 

She’s trademarked her Becoming Epic framework, and she’s here to help us stop “should-ing” all over ourselves and start owning our emotions instead of letting them own us. 

We get into everything - emotional regulation, self-awareness, and how to actually work with what you're feeling instead of fighting it. 

This one’s powerful, hilarious, and full of those lightbulb moments we all need. 

Let’s dive right in.

Highlights:

(14:32) Breaking Free from “Should-ing” on Yourself

(23:50) Emotional Regulation in Real Life

(31:13) The Power of Naming Your Emotions

(42:08) The Shift from External Validation to Internal Connection

(51:46) The Freedom in Learning to Receive
