Learning to trust yourself starts with your emotional wisdom - but most of us were taught to feel one emotion at a time, rush past the hard ones, and judge ourselves for being "too much."
In episode 191 of The Empowered & Embodied Show, Kim Romain and Louise Neil discuss the impact of societal conditioning on emotional expression and the journey towards self-trust and emotional awareness. They explore holding multiple feelings at once, the difference between processing emotions in your body versus your head, and why self-trust is built by tending to your inner wisdom like a garden - not by controlling or fixing yourself.
If you're doing inner work and want to move from performing to being, from inherited patterns to your own clarity, this conversation is for you.
