Description

In this episode, Alison cracks open a conversation most of us were never taught how to have: how to actually feel your feelings.

If you've ever told yourself "I'm fine" while your chest feels tight, your mind is racing, or your stomach is in knots, this episode is for you. Alison shares her journey from overthinking and intellectualizing emotions to learning how to feel them in her body, instead of judging, fixing, or outrunning them.

You'll explore why so many of us grew up disconnected from our emotions, how that leads to people-pleasing, burnout, anxiety, and chronic tension, and what really happens when feelings get trapped in the body as pain, fatigue, or ongoing reactivity. Alison walks you through practical tools to build emotional safety, expand your emotional vocabulary, and start processing emotions as sensations in the body rather than problems to solve.

By the end, you'll understand:

• Why repressing "negative" emotions also numbs your joy, love, and aliveness
• How trapped emotions can show up as tension, digestive issues, fatigue, or brain fog
• The difference between avoiding, reacting to, and actually feeling your emotions
• A simple body-based process to move emotions through in real time
• How creating safety and compassion inside yourself makes you braver in your life

If you're tired of overthinking, dismissing your feelings, or feeling like you're "too sensitive," this episode will help you build a loving, powerful relationship with your emotions—so you can feel more alive, more grounded, and more like yourself.

Great for: anyone who overthinks, feels stuck, struggles with anxiety, has chronic tension or fatigue, or wants to deepen their emotional intelligence and nervous system regulation.
