It can be difficult to honor your feelings in general. 

And then on top of that, it’s extra difficult when you may not exactly know what you’re feeling. 

And honoring your feelings is so important. 

In this episode, I’m reflecting on my experience speaking at Honor Your Feelings Fest with Asian Mental Health Project and sharing why honoring your feelings can feel especially difficult as an adult with immigrant parents. 

I talk about why so many of us struggle to identify our emotions, and how constantly focusing on everyone else can disconnect us from ourselves.

I also share practical mindset shifts and reflections around emotional awareness, self-talk, motherhood, play, healing, and learning how to create space for yourself.
