🎧 Episode Notes: The Courage to Feel
There’s a quiet fatigue that comes from holding yourself together.
The smile that says, I’m fine.
The nod that hides a storm.
In this episode, we explore what happens when the body’s wisdom finally refuses to stay quiet—when numbness starts to thaw, and emotion returns not as an enemy but as a guide.
Drawing inspiration from Dr. Gabor Maté’s work on trauma, authenticity, and the mind-body connection, this reflection invites you to soften the edges of control and rediscover the courage to feel. Because healing doesn’t come from managing your emotions—it comes from listening to them.
Beautiful Question:
What emotion have you been avoiding that might actually be asking to guide you home?
