When something truly hurts, don’t skip the feeling on your way to fixing it.

After a tense week, I reflects on what happens when we move too quickly into coping—fixing, problem-solving, intellectualizing, or minimizing—without first letting ourselves feel what actually hurts. This episode explores liminal spaces, emotional sovereignty, and the difference between being triggered by an old wound and responding to a real present-day violation. A walk about staying with difficult feelings long enough to let them inform, rather than overtake, your decisions.

Walk with me.
