The Courage to Embrace Your Emotions with guest Diana Acuna

Join me with guest Diana Acuna talking about embracing your emotions as opposed to avoiding them. Diana grew up in a home where the expression of emotions was unwelcome and discouraged. Shutting down and avoiding emotions was her default as a young woman. Since hiding and avoiding emotions is a fear based behavior, she was afraid to be herself and afraid of what others thought of her, so she became a perfectionist, Once she finally chose courage over fear,  she realized that expressing her opinions, feelings and emotions wasn't going to kill her. In fact, people engaged and responded positively. She realized that by being true to herself and her values and trusting herself, she could let go of that nagging comparison and fear of rejection. Today Diana is a Senior Manager at Mavenlink which is a SaaS solution for project, resource management and accounting. She's also started her own business to speak and coach young professionals to embrace their emotions.  Diana's website: http://dianatalks.com/
