Description

Welcome back to another riveting episode of Coffee and Cuddles! This week, Craig (AKA Coffee) and Cuddles are diving into the metaphorical attic of our lives. We’re talking about the "stuff" we carry—not just the physical U-Haul boxes from past moves, but the mental and emotional baggage that follows us from relationship to relationship.

Have you ever left a box unpacked for years, only to realize you didn't really need what was inside?. We explore why we hold onto bad decisions, old fears, and creepy emotional "slimes" instead of letting them go. From the "Schoolhouse Rock" inspiration of unpacking adjectives to the literal heart-break of a shattered coffee mug, we discuss how old triggers can create an avalanche in our current lives.

In This Episode, We Discuss:

• The Metaphorical Attic: Why we shove painful emotions into dark corners and hope they simply disintegrate.
• The Trigger Trap: How a simple loud voice or a broken dish can send us down a rabbit hole of past trauma.
• The Keep, Toss, Donate Framework: A system for deciding which parts of your history belong in your future.
• The Fire Ritual: Why writing down your fears and watching them burn can be a powerful way to reclaim your peace.
• The Airport Suitcase Test: If you were at the check-in counter and your emotional luggage was overweight, what is the one thing you would leave behind forever?.

A new chapter doesn't mean you have to have zero history, but it does mean choosing which parts of that history you actually want to live with.
