  • 059: You Are Allowed to Feel

    In today's discussion, performance mindset coach, Sean Hansen, looks at how so many high performers cut themselves off from feeling emotion.  Moreover, that they engage in various narratives of judgment and ridicule about their perception that they're not holding things together.

    What if you could connect with the idea that you deserve to feel your emotions?  Moreover, that you don't have to be embarrassed by them or think that you are less than because you experience emotion while in a professional context.

    Additionally, so many of us have the confused notion that the way we feel in any given moment, or the thought that happens to be occupying our mind at present, represents the self.  But, a person is more than his or her thoughts and feelings.  Curious?  Come along for the discussion.
