86. How To Find the Magic in the Messy Moments and Fly Forward Past the Challenges With Dr. Neeta Bhushan

“You’re so strong.” “Hold it together.” “Put on a brave face.” Do any of these statements sound familiar to you? A lot of us grew up striving for perfection — whether it was in our achievements, in our relationships, or with our emotions. But what if we could start to see the beauty in our breakdowns? Instead of trying to keep it all in, we let it out and find release. Think of it like a kettle of hot water: it needs to blow some steam, or it will boil over.
