We're digging into emotions- why they are good, when they are hard and how they are forever inconvenient.

• The wild and wide distance between a real life problem and the body’s reaction to it
• Why an out-of-proportion panic response is not personal failure, it's actually incredibly wise (albeit terribly inconvenient)
• A Kumail Nanjiani joke that perfectly frames this emotional mismatch (his Netflix special is fabulous btw- not affiliated btw)
• Lessons from therapy in the realm of feeling the real emotion as opposed to intellectualizing it (rude)
• The lifelong, LOUD messages we absorb, all demanding we tone down and tidy up our feelings
• How numbing keeps us from the full spectrum of being alive, and how critical it is to feel it all, especially now.

Here's to feeling it all. I'll be on my bedroom floor, crying to my "big feelings" playlist.

Love ya.
