In this raw and real episode of the Embodied Baddie Podcast, I’m pulling back the curtain and letting you in on one of those "WTF am I even doing" moments we all try to hide. Spoiler: I’m not hiding. Instead, I’m sharing how I faced my feels head-on and turned a heavy, messy potential spiral into a breakthrough moment. Because let’s be honest, emotions don’t take a backseat just because you’re running a business or living a “successful” life.

1. Feel the Feels, Babe: Yeah, ignoring emotions might feel easier, but it’ll bite you later. I’m talking about why emotional awareness is your real flex, not a weakness.
2. Vulnerability Is the Ultimate Glow-Up: Nobody likes to feel exposed, but that’s where the magic happens. I’m sharing how being vulnerable has been my shortcut to clarity, strength, and surprising freedom.
3. Get Yourself a Hype Squad: We all need someone to remind us we’re not losing it. I’ll walk you through how my coach helped me unpack my chaos and why reaching out for support is a total game-changer.
4. Progress Isn’t Always Obvious: Let’s talk about the quiet wins. Growth doesn’t always look like fireworks; sometimes, it’s just a whisper telling you to keep going.
5. The Breakdown Before the Breakthrough: That soul-crushing moment? It’s often the setup for your next level. Let me tell you why the messy middle is the place to find your power.

• Sit With It: Stop dodging your emotions. Get quiet, grab your journal, or just ugly cry in your car if you need to. Whatever helps you feel it.
• Find Your Person: Whether it’s a friend, coach, or therapist, reach out. You deserve someone in your corner reminding you of your badassery.
• Practice Patience: Not every step will feel like a leap. Celebrate the tiny victories, even if it’s just getting out of bed today.
• Show Up as You Are: Vulnerability is your permission slip to be unapologetically real. Share your mess; it’s where connection lives.
