It's one thing to feel your feelings. It's another to hold them in a way that feels grounded and safe.

In today's episode, we're going to practice one of the most important skills of emotional regulation — how to recognize what you're feeling and build a safe emotional container around it. This is what lets you process without getting swept away or shutting down.

In the last episode, I outlined a process for emotional regulation using what I call the GROUND tool.

Today, you'll get a chance to practice it with me.

Whether you're feeling a bit overwhelmed or just want to build your emotional fitness muscle, this is the tool. This is how you can hit the emotional reset button whenever the feelings hit hard.

Emotional strength isn't about being stoic or tough. It's about becoming emotionally nimble. In this episode, you'll learn how to build out and train emotional 'flexibility', which is where your emotional strength really lies. Learning how to ride the wave of hard emotions when they surface because shutting down feelings to power through doesn't actually serve us well in the long run.

Discover the 6-step framework called GROUND that will teach how you can become emotionally flexible so that you can feel your feelings without falling apart.

Most of the time we're running on auto-pilot. But understanding our emotional 'pacing' needs so we can stay within capacity is how we start to set ourselves up for success with emotional resilience.

In today's episode, we're going to do a guided exercise together that you can use regularly to briefly hit pause and see what your emotional gauge is - green, yellow or red, and how you can adjust accordingly to get anchored no matter what's happening.

In this episode, we explore the art of emotional pacing plus the importance of flexible pacing - knowing when to slow down your inner climb and when to speed it up. When to push and when to pull back.

Discover how to assess your current pacing capacity using what I call your Emotional Vital Signs — plus four essential factors that influence your pacing:

• Your life load

• Your recovery practices

• Your support structure

• And your physical fuel tank

Having your emotional dashboard set-up and understanding where you're at (green, yellow or red) in each of the four pacing categories will help you pivot and adjust your pacing to stay in balance with your current capacity for your inner climb.

Are you trying to use someone else's emotional tools? The reason why generic strategies often don't work is because they aren't customized to fit us properly. Customization is key for inner work.

​​In this short episode, I'll walk you through 3 simple ways to test whether your emotional 'gear' is actually supporting you — or actually derailing you. Because the journey towards mastering your emotions isn't about having more tools. It's about having the right ones that actually work for you.

You'll walk away with a simple way to personalize your:

• Emotional first-aid kit (real-time responses for emotional 'hijacks')

• Emotional trail mix (your recipe for ongoing emotional nourishment)

• Boundaries map (how to stay within your clearly defined territory and not get sucked into someone else's emotional storm)

You're not emotionally failing — you're under-equipped for the emotional terrain you're trying to navigate.

In this episode, we'll unpack what I call your emotional gear — the tools, practices, and resources that support you on your climb toward emotional mastery. We'll explore why so many high-achieving women end up relying on strategies that aren't actually a good fit, and how to start building a gear pack that truly works for you — especially when emotions run high.

Because when your gear fits you properly, the climb is much more manageable.

Here's an important truth that's often overlooked: most emotional resilience strategies fail because they aren't custom-built for your inner world.

So how do you build out your own customized map that actually fits your emotional landscape? It all starts with finding the right entry point.

The journey towards emotional mastery tends to follow three main routes - top-down, bottom-up and inside out. We can reframe the three approaches as thinking, feeling and being. What are you thinking? How are you feeling? Who are you being? Each of these questions opens the door to a specific route up your emotional mastery mountain.

In this episode you're going to discover which entry point is right for you so you can build momentum and gain some early wins.

In this episode, I'm gonna walk you through how to make sure your emotional fitness plan is custom-designed for you.
