The Beth Effect with Beth Clifford

This week on The Beth Effect, Beth sits down with clinical psychologist Dr. Sam Skidmore to dive deep into the hidden truth about adult emotions.

Why do so many adults suppress their feelings—or worse, throw emotional tantrums? Beth and Sam reveal the RULER method for emotional intelligence, explain why suppressing feelings can backfire, and give you simple tools to manage anger, anxiety, and sadness in a healthier way.

Whether it's work stress, relationship struggles, or personal growth, understanding your emotions is the secret to unlocking greater success, peace, and confidence.

👉 Tune in to learn how to recognize, label, express, and regulate emotions—and why your feelings are always valid, even if they aren't always accurate.

🎙️ This week, I just needed to vent. So I showed up at Kenna’s house and we hit record. No lessons, no takeaways—just all the little things that have been driving us crazy lately. From backhanded compliments and bad manners to obnoxious emails and cringe car culture, nothing was off-limits.

If you’ve ever been bothered by the smallest things (and felt kinda bad about it), you’re not alone. Let’s laugh through the chaos together.

This episode hit different… because it’s my story.

From enduring surgeries to navigating a deeply personal and painful experience involving harassment, I share how I unintentionally fell into a victim mindset—even after years of priding myself on growth and resilience. What shifted my perspective was unexpected: a conversation about Scar and Mufasa from The Lion King.

Yep, that Lion King.

In this raw, honest episode, I unpack how trauma, mindset, and our response to injustice can either keep us bitter or make us better. This isn’t just a pep talk—this is a turning point. For me. Maybe for you, too.

Whether you're healing, holding onto anger, or just trying to grow—this one’s for you. 💛
