Have you ever felt pulled in two directions at once—holding strong, conflicting emotions about the same situation? In this episode, Chris and Jen explore why this happens, what’s actually going on in the brain when emotions collide, and why it can leave us feeling confused or stuck. Through personal reflection and neuroscience-informed insight, unravel why we experience such extreme dualities and how to get unstuck. They emphasize the importance of the "Feel, Pause, Plan, Act" framework discussed in a previous episode to help listeners better understand their emotions, regain clarity, and move forward with intention and self-compassion.
