27: Why You Feel What You Feel – The Science Behind Emotions

Have you ever felt anxious, overwhelmed, or reactive without really knowing why?In today’s episode of Holy Whispers, we’re laying the foundation for our February theme on love and emotional resilience by exploring the science behind our emotions—and how beautifully it aligns with the way God designed us.We’ll talk about:the difference between the sympathetic and parasympathetic nervous systemshow the amygdala and prefrontal cortex shape our emotional responseswhy emotions show up in the body before we’re even aware of our thoughtsand how understanding this can help us respond from love instead of fearThis episode is science-forward but deeply practical, connecting neuroscience with life-coaching principles you’ve heard before on this podcast—and setting the stage for how emotional awareness, regulation, and renewal of the mind work together.If you’ve ever wondered why your body reacts before your logic catches up, or how emotional resilience actually begins, this episode is for you.✨ This is not about fixing yourself—it’s about understanding yourself with compassion and wisdom.Jen's Coaching Website: https://paperbell.me/jen-maranka
