Pain, Power, and the Art of Allowing Emotion - Episode 12

UPDATE-  In this episode I talk about the idea of creating beauty from pain.  I meant to mention that this idea comes from Susan Cain's book Bittersweet: How Sorrow and Longing Makes Us Whole. 

If you want to build a life that feels aligned, meaningful, and free—you have to be willing to feel everything. In this follow-up to Episode 11 (Why You Are Emotionally Stunted), we dive into the how. How do you actually feel your feelings instead of resisting, reacting, avoiding, or spiritualizing them? What do you do with pain that won’t go away? And why is being emotionally willing the ultimate superpower in creating the life you truly want?

Rooted in the Self-Coaching Model (CTFAR), this episode teaches you how to allow emotion without being consumed by it—and how to stop letting your feelings quietly run the show from the background.

 In This Episode, You’ll Learn:

Why feeling your feelings is the key to long-term change

How emotional resistance drains your energy and keeps you stuck

What it really means to "allow" an emotion (and what it doesn't)

How spiritualizing pain can block healing What to do with emotions that seem to never go away Why discomfort is the price of living authentically—and why it’s worth it
