What this episode covers
I've been thinking about a cultural message we get about grief. This idea that feeling our feelings is bad. That we should move through it, get over it, push past it. I didn't want to gloss over that. I wanted to create a whole episode about what it actually means to feel our feelings. Because there's a difference between understanding your emotions and feeling them. Between talking about what you feel and actually letting it move through your body. If you've spent years processing your grief and you still feel exhausted and disconnected from yourself, this is for you. Free 10-Day True You Reset: truthafterloss.com/reset10
