Hey Friend,

This week's episode, titled "Rejecting the Notion of 'Fine'," is especially close to my heart. It’s about confronting those moments when "I'm fine" doesn't even begin to cover what you’re truly feeling. 

In this episode, I share an experience of when I endured recurring dreams of my late grandparents, Ozella and Bill, which made me realize just how much unprocessed grief I was carrying. This episode is my open diary, sharing a poignant journey of emotional discovery and healing. By setting intentions and navigating the murky waters of grief, I found unexpected strength—and I hope my story can shine a light for anyone walking the challenging path of loss and recovery.

We often hide behind the phrase "I'm fine," using it as a shield against the world. It’s a mask that keeps our true emotions at bay, conditioned by a society that often values intellectualization over heartfelt connection. This episode challenges us to embrace emotional honesty. By acknowledging and expressing our true feelings, we can ease the burden of burnout and step into a more authentic life.

Rejecting 'fine' means allowing ourselves to be vulnerable, to open up, and to truly feel—even if that means letting the tears flow. This isn’t just about recognizing our emotions; it’s about reconnecting with the very core of our being.

Join me as we peel back the layers of emotional restraint and celebrate our rich, human experiences. It's in embracing our deepest feelings that we find the essence of our humanity and the real freedom of emotional truth.

Looking forward to sharing this heartfelt journey with you.

Love Always,

PBJ
