In this episode, we delve into the complexities of managing and processing negative emotions while striving to maintain a high vibration, and why it’s crucial to address these emotions rather than suppress them.

We’ll explore why suppressing emotions is detrimental, discussing how unaddressed negative emotions can lead to long-term health problems and impact your ability to attract positive experiences and manifestations. Drawing from a range of studies, we’ll uncover the science behind the connection between emotional suppression and mental and physical health issues, and highlight the importance of emotional processing in maintaining a high vibration.

I’ll provide you with five steps to handling negative emotions so that it doesn't lead to long-term struggles or a lowered vibration.
