Emotional Granularity: The Many Shades of Our Emotions

Episode 13: Emotional GranularityEmotional Granularity: The Many Shades of Our EmotionsIn this episode of All the Feels, Lauren explores emotional granularity,  the ability to notice, distinguish, and name your emotional experiences with greater clarity, nuance, and compassion.Most people don’t struggle because they feel too much. They struggle because they were never taught how to understand what they’re feeling. Emotional granularity offers a gentle, practical way to build that understanding, not by fixing emotions, but by expanding the language you have available to describe what’s already happening in your body.In this episode, you’ll explore:The difference between emotions (body sensations) and feelings (the meaning we assign to them)How emotional concepts shape the way we experience and interpret feelingsWhy more emotional language creates more choice, clarity, and self-trustHow emotional granularity exists on a spectrum — and why wherever you are makes senseWhy this work is invitational, not something you need to “get right”Through accessible examples and thoughtful metaphors, Lauren invites you to see your emotional world not as something to control, but as a rich landscape to explore, one shade at a time.Want to Go Deeper? ⁠Join The Emotions Crash Course⁠If this episode resonated and you’re ready to build real emotional skill, The Emotions Crash Course offers practical tools to help you understand your emotions, stop treating them like problems, and create real relief in your day-to-day life.✨ Learn more about The Emotions Crash Course HEREResources MentionedHow Emotions Are Made by Lisa Feldman BarrettUntamed by Glennon DoyleFeelings & Needs Reference Guide (Nonviolent Communication)Emotions Wheel Take the next step in your self-care journeyDownload The Exquisite Self-Care Handbook — Lauren’s free guide to help you slow down, regulate your nervous system, and reconnect with what truly nourishes you.
