In this episode, I want to talk about emotional fluency and why I believe it is the most important skill you can develop in a world that is becoming more digital and more disconnected by the day. Because here is the truth: AI can mirror your emotions but it cannot regulate your nervous system, and that is something only another human being can do. We talk about why your feelings are not problems to be solved but information to be listened to, the difference between primary emotions like grief and anger and the secondary ones like anxiety and shame that show up when we are too afraid to feel the real thing, and why your rock bottom might actually be the most important initiation of your life.
