Thanks for joining us for today's tangents! Straight up...we didn't know if we were going to release this conversation or not. Yet, here we are. After an extremely emotional week, we thought it would be worthwhile to discuss how our body, heart, and mind tend to deal with big feelings and emotions. Spoiler alert: we both cry in this episode, so there's that. How do you process big feelings and emotions?

0:00 Intro

1:20 "We are a hopeless bunch today."

3:10 Don't be shy, Emma. Tell us how you really feel. Go off.

4:15 Let's discuss the body, heart, and mind

5:20 Lisa reveals her meditation patterns. Shocker...it's more 9 stuff.

8:10 Emma responds in kind and, once again, tries to nuance differences between head types and body types

12:00 "Until I can get into my body, I can't tap into my heart"

12:24 Emma is bitchy today, and Lisa likes it

12:50 Everything feels inextricably linked. Lisa explains her experience of gratitude.

15:15 "It all feels painful."

17:55 Our respective approaches to processing emotions; being cryptic; clawing people's eyes

23:30 "The heart feels untrustworthy."

24:22 Lisa lightens the mood with a question about trifix and Emma is relieved.

26:40 More tears. Emma's experience of the heart space. Fear of the flood.

30:55 "Well, shit."

31:50 Lisa's turn to cry again.

32:35 "If people will watch us, they will be instantly charmed."

33:25 Emma gives Lisa an internal tingle
