After some time away, Chico and Shannon West return with renewed energy, deeper insight, and a clear mission: to help you investigate your feelings and live with intention. In this relaunch of Filter Optional, they open up about where they’ve been—stepping into new seasons of life, expanding their work in coaching and emotional wellness, and learning what it means to evolve without losing purpose.
Together, they unpack:
- Why “investigating how you feel” is the key to freedom and success
- The difference between therapy and coaching—and how each can help you move forward
- How organizations are starting to embrace emotional and relational health in the workplace
- The real meaning of codependency (or as Shannon reframes it—overfunctioning)
- A preview of what’s to come this season: deep dives into thoughts vs. feelings, breaking reactive cycles, and building emotional awareness that lasts
Takeaway:
If you want to create meaningful change in your life, start here. Investigate how you feel about the problems that have you stuck—and discover how awareness sets you free.
