They might see your face — but it’s your energy they’ll remember. Mindset isn’t optional. It’s the foundation. Unplug when you need to. Reconnect with who you are. Confidence? That’s not something you’re born with — it’s something you build. And that voice in your head? You don’t have to silence it… just don’t let it lead.

This one’s for anyone training not just the body — but the mind.

In this powerful conversation with renowned psychologist Dr. Yasmine Saad, we unpack a truth that’s rarely talked about:

Negative emotions aren’t problems to be solved — they’re messages waiting to be understood.

From childhood conditioning to emotional overwhelm in adulthood, Dr. Saad breaks down how our internal “fire alarms” go off when we’re out of alignment with our deepest values — like harmony, beauty, or connection.

You’ll learn:

Why pain doesn’t always mean trauma — it can mean misalignment

How sadness is often a signal that you're not giving yourself what you truly need

Why emotional intensity (especially in women and creatives) is misunderstood

How to pause and decode your feelings instead of getting consumed by them

Whether you’re healing, supporting someone else, or just trying to make sense of what you feel — this episode offers real clarity.

Featuring: Dr. Yasmine Saad, licensed clinical psychologist & founder of Madison Park Psychological Services.
