In this episode of This Life or Something Better, Priscilla explores how our emotions shape the stories we live, and how to stop letting them run the show. From childhood monsters under the bed to adult fears about rejection, security, and identity, emotions are often misunderstood as enemies when they're really messengers.
You'll learn how the cycle of event, meaning, belief, identity plays out in everyday life, why resisting emotions keeps you stuck, and how to "hug your monsters" instead of hiding from them. With practical steps like naming your emotions, reframing the meaning, and taking small, gentle actions forward, this episode gives you tools to detach from fear and reclaim your freedom.
Reflection questions at the end will help you uncover your own hidden monsters and begin rewriting the story you tell yourself, one choice, one meaning, one belief at a time.
